RadiumOne CEO Gurbaksh Chahal is a very rich man with a bad temper. Chahal pulls in more than $100 million a year as a CEO and at one time was named one of America’s most eligible bachelors. However, he has a violent side that was displayed in a 30 minute video. In the video, Chahal punches, kicks and verbally abuses his girlfriend because he found out she cheated on him with another man.
Despite this damning evidence, Chahal will serve no jail time. Instead, he has been sentenced to three years probation, 52 weeks in a domestic violence training program and 25 hours of community service. Chahal was facing 45 felony counts for the brutal beating of his girlfriend but the video was not allowed into evidence. Apparently the police did not have a warrant when they seized the tape, taking it because Chahal would have had an opportunity to erase it. In addition, the victim stopped cooperating with police and refused to testify against him.
Chahal became a multimillionaire at age 16 by selling his fist online ad network, clickagents.com. He went on shortly afterwards to earn another $300 million by the time he was 23.
