Recently, a shocking case emerged involving Zak Blackman, a 21-year-old former sailor in the Royal Navy. Blackman was expelled from the Armed Forces after his superiors discovered that he had been producing and selling erotic material aboard the HMS Prince of Wales, the largest warship in Britain. The case gained widespread attention last week, sparking debates on conduct and privacy.

During his service on the aircraft carrier, which recently returned from a three-month mission in the United States, Blackman became involved in creating adult content, including photos and videos. While lucrative, this activity was deemed incompatible with the standards and image of the Royal Navy, leading to his expulsion. At the time, his side business earned about £20,000 per month, approximately R$125,000, a significantly higher amount than his salary in the Navy.

Interestingly, Blackman views his expulsion not as a setback, but as a turning point in his life. He stated that becoming a “millionaire” thanks to the earnings from his adult content was “the best thing” that ever happened to him. This financial and career transformation highlights a unique aspect of the digital age, where online platforms offer significant earning opportunities, even in unconventional circumstances.

The young man now plans to invest his newfound fortune, mentioning the purchase of a Lamborghini and moving into a luxurious apartment. The Royal Navy, for its part, confirmed the incident but remained discreet in its comments, stating only that the matter was properly investigated.
