From Trailer Home to Billionaire: The Remarkable Journey of Britain’s Richest Gypsy, Alfie Best
Alfie Best, the dad of Britain’s richest gypsy, always believed in his son’s potential to become a billionaire. With a fortune of £947 million, Alfie Best founded the caravan park empire Wyldecrest Parks and now enjoys a lavish lifestyle in Monaco, free from income tax. Despite his current opulent lifestyle on a £10 million yacht, Alfie’s humble beginnings in a roadside trailer home in Leicester shaped his journey to success. His parents, Jane and Alfie Sr, recall struggling to make ends meet in a 10ft-long motor home, but they always knew their son was destined for greatness.
Early Entrepreneurial Spirit
At the age of eight, Alfie began working alongside his father, offering tarmac services to homeowners. By the time he was 13, he was laying tarmac for the mile-long driveway of a member of the Hambro banking family. His first solo business venture involved buying and selling an Escort van, which earned him a modest profit of £150. This early entrepreneurial spirit laid the foundation for his future success in business.
Empire Building and Continued Success
Today, Alfie Best oversees the thriving residential park homes empire of Wyldecrest Parks, which generated £32 million in revenue last year. In addition to his property ventures, he is the proud owner of non-league football club East Thurrock United. With his net worth soaring by £202 million in the past year, Alfie Best is on track to becoming Britain’s first Romany Gypsy billionaire. His impressive portfolio includes a £4 million Knightsbridge townhouse, a luxurious £7 million mansion in Surrey, and a stunning £10 million yacht in Cannes. Alfie’s relentless work ethic and unwavering dedication to success serve as an inspiration to aspiring entrepreneurs worldwide.
