P.S. ^^ this is also why most .com millionaires have multiple success.
They make their money, then have little risk trying another idea and have the contacts to make it again.
- similar with the risk from the start.
Like Mark Zuckaberg (facebook founder) went to Havard in America. That isn't a cheap uni to go to - costs hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Therefore, he probably had a rich family to start with.
Bill Gates another one, he already had a inheritence of over a million dollars (When that was a LOT of money) before he founded microsoft.

What I said wasnt meant to come out shitty or that. I just had the feeling he'd have had some help to get established cos not many 18yr olds are 911 driving buisiness moguls.
Im not jealous because its a total different way of life & fair play to him, my reasoning just helps it for me to be able to get excited about fast hatchbacks again.  If he's rolling around in cars like that then he's obviously done very well for himself.
Wish I had a mate with a ferrari!!

He actually gave me some tips on painting when I was 17. He worked in a bodyshop instead of turning up to sixth form and when he got his drivers liscene he bought smashed up cars fixed them and sold them.
Thinking about it he has done a hell of alot in the last ten years.

Good on him i say.
I agree with what Paul has said though.My (surrogate) brother in laws are the same.Dad is a legend of a businessman and is worth about 70 million and his sons now have there own businesses and even though they are pretty smart lads there's no way they'd be were they are today without his money/help/knowlege.
One of the sons is going to be on Secret Millionare later in the year.

Thing is, it's not meant to be a dig at his achievements, he's still worked hard and deserves the money.
My point was, everything comes down to risk and if you are coming from rich background (like the 70mil example above) you can take the risks / have the start up capital risk free - to try it. Many rich kids probably fail too.
I remember watching some program like fifth gear once, who was like 'this kid made his first million by the time he was 18' - his business was selling ferraris / lambos etc.
- Was quite obviously from wealth and no non rich person could have done that by 18 - as the cost of stock alone must of been in the millions.

So what, the guys done well and achieved a lot. Can't it just be left at that, or does everything need to be analysed? How about you spend some more time on another one of you Youtube videos to tell us all about it.

No doubt some monkey will go at it with a bucket and sponge this week and inflict some lovely swirls.
Or someone will go out everyday and give it a 'wipe down' and drag some nice dirt particles across the paintwork.

Tom, does that front plate come on the car?
Can see it now, a genuine real case of:
Is this your car sir?
Yes
You do know that front plate is illegal sir?
Go tell Ferrari that, IT CAME ON THE CAR WHEN I BOUGHT IT
I like, but dunno why it has 3 tailpipes? The F40, sure, it was the wastegate exit, but on this?

yeah it was two days late as they couldnt work out how to get a legal plate to fit. Ferrari didnt bother with a place for the front plate as you dont need one in italy so the dealer came up with that size plate.
dont know why it has three exhausts but i have made love to each one

Much rather have a 599 GTO in dark blue personally
That's the only modern-day Ferrari to make my pants feel tight.

599 gto to me looks just like a sporty coupe rather then an exotic sports car
