Ive always heard stories about this man when i was younger but never really saw anything about him online until now. His body count is legendary. Dude was packing heat for both the opps and the bytches (11 inches they say ) PAUSE, just putting out whats said about him

Porfirio Rubirosa Ariza (January 22, 1909 – July 5, 1965) was a Dominican diplomat, race car driver, soldier and polo player. He was a supporter of dictator Rafael Trujillo, and was also a political assassin under his regime.[2] Rubirosa made his mark as an international playboy for his jetsetting lifestyle and his legendary sexual prowess with women.[3] His five spouses included two of the richest women in the world.[4]

Only knock on him was working under Trujillo crazy ass but if you were dominican you didnt really have a choice in those times

most of his bytches got wikipedia pages. Thats impressive considering they all from the 40's-60s

Rubirosa was linked romantically to Dolores del Río, Eartha Kitt, Marilyn Monroe,[10] Ava Gardner, Maria Montez, Rita Hayworth, Dorothy Dandridge, Lupe Vélez, Soraya Esfandiary, Peggy Hopkins Joyce, Joan Crawford, Veronica Lake, Kim Novak, Judy Garland, Eva Perón and Amália Rodrigues[11].[10] He dallied with his ex-wife Flor de Oro Trujillo Ledesma during his marriage to Doris Duke.[citation needed] He and Zsa Zsa Gabor were seen together during her marriage to George Sanders. When she would not marry him, although George was divorcing her, Rubirosa married Barbara Hutton. He was named a co-respondent in George Sanders' divorce suit from Gabor.

Rubirosa was married five times, but he never had any children. His wives were:

• Flor de Oro Trujillo, Rafael Trujillo's eldest daughter, December 2, 1932 – 1937
• Danielle Darrieux, French actress, September 18, 1942 – May 21, 1947
• Doris Duke, American heiress, September 1, 1947 – October 30, 1948; with marital gifts and final settlement he received an alimony ($25,000 per year until remarriage), a fishing fleet off Africa, several sports cars, a converted B-25 bomber (La Ganza), and a 17th-century house in Rue de Bellechasse, Paris.[12]
• Barbara Hutton, American heiress, December 30, 1953 – February 20, 1954; in the settlement he received a coffee plantation in the Dominican Republic, another B-25, polo ponies, jewelry, and a reported $2.5 million.[13]
• Odile Rodin, French actress, October 27, 1956 – July 5, 1965 (his death).

His playboy lifestyle was matched by stories of his sexual prowess. His reputedly larger than average penis size inspired Parisian waiters at Maxim's to name gigantic pepper mills "Rubirosas". The name stuck and has been in use all over the world.[14][15]

He played the marriage game and won

I read the book "The Last Playboy" based on his life. Very interesting read, the man lived a crazy lifestyle. One part that always stuck out to me is that even when at his lowest he still put his cash towards tailored clothes and expensive haircuts. His death was also very fitting.

He looks exactly like what the majority of dominicans look like, a mix of african/spanish european/indigenous people of hispanoila. You can tell one of his parents/grandparents is black

I watched the Ralph Lauren documentary and no this guy was not an inspiration for his brand.

Dude wasn't even mentioned.

He also is not mentioned anywhere in regards to being the inspiration for James Bond

Leyenda.

Probably a real scumbag though given his Trujillo connections.

More than a scumbag if he was truly afro latino than he was a Tió Tomás considering he supported Rafael Trujillo of the Parsley Massacre
