Viva Liberia

robert johnson invests in liberia
With the US real estate and stock market in shambles, you're probably wondering where to park your hard earned cash. Why not invest in an emerging market. A really emerging market, like Liberia. Yes, we're talking about that war-torned nation that was started way back when by freed slaves. Think its a stupid idea? Well, BET founder and billionaire Robert Johnson doesn't think so as he has invested in an $8 million, 85 room four-star resort near the capital of Liberia. The beach front hotel is scheduled to open next March and will include all the normal resort amenities including a restaurant, tennis courts, a spa, health club, swimming pool, guards, infrared motion detectors and bulletproof glass (seriously).

If you're looking for a break from the Four Seasons and Palmillas, come visit Liberia. For between $150-$200 per night, you may even get a meet and greet with Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.
