Considering how much money our guy has, it's might actually be possible to do all of this.

You buy a healthy amount of submachineguns and rifles from the russians, along with five MiGs, two derelict battleships and a carrier (You actually just stole the ships, but they were parked right on the coast.) and find a volcanic island in the pacific.

It's small, but is defendable and has bedrock all the way to the bottom of the ocean, with one accessible inlet and sheer cliffs all around. You carve a mansion out of the stone and order your japanese towelgirls to start smoothing the floors and walls. They weren't doing enough anyway. Your MiGs are parked on your carrier, and the pirates are hard at work repairing the battleships.

Rig the volcano to erupt through special holes to decimate the island while opening a slot in the top for a escape helicopter, JUST IN CASE.

Train the best pirates to become commandos. Have them train more pirates to become commandos. Repeat until commando pirate army of doom.

Pirates? Hard at work?

 :-\

Anyway, since it seems we're going the way of Han from Enter the Dragon,

Hire several martial artists, including ex-special forces, to train our guy into a killing machine.

Bodyguards, pirates and weapons won't be enough when assassins come knocking at our guy's door.

Pirates. Working on a ship. Yes.

You hire rogue war vets and spetznaz operators to train you and your top ten pirates into lean, mean killing machines. This may take time.

 You try to rig the volcano to detonate at the press of a button, but seeing as the flow is thin, the volcano doesn't do too well in the explosion department. You instead now have a moat of lava, kept hot by circulating magma.

The pirates inform you that your carrier can now move by itself, the old AA guns are stocked, and the MiGs are refueled. You notice this island has a distinc lack of anti-air capability.

Discreetly spread word amongst various criminal groups that the island is a safe haven, and that they won't be prosecuted for any criminal activity on the island, so long as our guy gets a cut of the profit.  Don't tell anyone our guy's identity, he must wear a mask if need be.

This island's not under the dominion of any other nation right?

For your information, the island is a nameless, small island on the Pacific rim. It has no official ownership, as it's a huge chunk of rock, basically. I'll draw up a quick, terrible map of it.

Cool.  So we can essentially start up our own, very small but highly defend nation.

Basically, yeah.

You start making waves in the criminal underground as you continue to run your pharmaceutical company from the island. Big names from the Russian Mafia to Al Quaeda start contacting you, and you tell them your island is an invisible safe haven. But you still need a place to house them.

Build underwater reinforced glass domes ( if it's not too expensive ) to house any visitors, where they can also perform transactions of whatever kind.  Also, buy some surface to air missile launchers.

Hold off on letting organizations such as Al Quaeda from joining our little island. If word gets out, we may or may not end up with marines storming our little paradise.

You respectfully decline Al-Quaeda's offer to join you. The Russian Mafia, on the other hand, agrees. You try to build a glass dome, but that fails, and you install a bunker under your mansion, accessible only through your mansion, to be able to house a large number of folk happily and secluded from each other. You look at your island, and realize that there's no food out here, or drink, and there's a large flat. The president of the company asks where you are, and you can't keep him happy for long by dodging the question.

Hire an agricultural expert of any sort, along with several farmers, probably out of work ones, who won't ask any questions.  Have them develop farms on the island. 

Resign from the pharmaceutical company.  Best not to stay in the limelight.  We're gonna get enough money from criminal profit anyway.
