Taking an interest in car-racing, Milošević's first exposure to the profitability of organized crime came from interactions with car-racing team member Vlada Kovačević, who sold vehicles to Serbian paramilitary commanders operating in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. After dodging the military draft by being deemed "unfit" for service, Milošević turned to his father's access to state revenue to fund a lavish lifestyle and establish a criminal network in Požarevac. Around 1994, Milošević was provided a job running a newly retrofit night club in Požarevac called "Madona" that catered to the elites of southeastern Europe, including wanted members of Serbian organized criminal organizations. Milošević is accused of involvement in smuggling numerous goods through Serbia, including cigarettes, petroleum, stolen cars, and drugs such as cocaine, which he is purported to use. Milošević also took ownership of a radio station, bakery, computer store, luxury perfume shop named "Scandal", and was appointed deputy chairman of a horse show in Ljubičevo. Other sources of revenue included currency speculation and trade between dinars and Deutsche Marks, and management of the construction of a $380,000 Serbian nationalist theme park called "Bambipark". Marko would wear a military uniform while managing "Bambipark" to show his patriotism during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. By 1998, he had purchased an expansive new villa in Požarevac, owned and crashed over 17 luxury cars, and purchased a yacht for 500,000 Deutsche Marks. In 2000, the total black market assets held by Milošević were estimated at £500 million. Milošević used violence and intimidation to expand and control his black market empire, suppressing rival gangs and the Serbian media. This use of violence included alleged connections to the 15 January 2000 killing of paramilitary leader and business competitor Željko Ražnatović in Belgrade.
