No-one begrudges people working hard or even being just damn lucky and having massive wealth.

It's how you deal with it that is the point being made here.

Just saying, don't think anyone has the right to judge anyone else.

Come on lads, give the guy a break! Do anyone of you actually know him? I don't know the chap either however don't judge a book by it's cover.

Ok so he likes the finer things in life don't we all. Plus he has clearly hit the gym and put in a lot of hard work to acheive a frame like that.

He seems to have a positive attitude on life. Seems like a few of you might have the green eye'd!

Fair play that's all I am saying and unless you truly know someone, don't make assumputions and follow the flock. So indicitve of this country, we so enjoy knocking folk down.

It's the season of good will, lets not slate the guy. If he has acheive what he has through hard graft then good for him.

I am certain there are a few on here that have a greater net worth however I am the same age as him and doing quite nicely thank you, but don't have a Lambo LP640.........well not yet anyway.

Happy Xmas to all!
I have to agree. Good luck to him, if he can pull the bull sh*t off no harm done except to the muppets that fall for it. He's living the dream although invariably someone has to pay for it. I've met a few of these types of guys over the years. The Mrs likes to train hard. (I won't go near a gym less I do myself some damage). These chaps are in love with themselves, they have to be. A good mate had PM*1 on his car cost him £20 for the fake plates. Human Growth Hormone or HGH is banned in the UK. It is supposed to be the elixier of life. We are all born with it but as we get older the HGH reduces hence replenishing it by injection sounds a good idea. BUT who knows what the side effects are for sure. If you have a tumour unbeknown it helps to speed its growth. I think I'll rather grow old gracefully (hopefully). p.s. the guys a co*k but many will believe the crap

Interesting thing is that to anyone with money (of which there are many on here) it's blatantly obvious that this guy has none. And yet he's able to convince the majority that he's rich. There's a lesson there... which I'll let you have when I've figured it out.

Okay Grasshopper here it is...The mountain, it is tall. But only those who have scaled the mountain know how tall, or what it looks like at the top. So a man in the foothills can convince those back in the village that he's at the summit.

Or, it's dead easy to profit from looking rich when the people you're profiting from don't know what rich looks like.

Sorry did I hear that correctly he said he is 32? THIRTY TWO????

Christ man stop spending the money on toys and get a better surgeon.

editted to add I just watched a few of the other Youtube videos, he has to be the most insecure guy I have ever seen. Clearly he is a man mountain, wealthy and a success but that has not scratched his itch. He needs love.

But then what do i know, I flunked my psychology degree ten years ago!

His number plate actually isn't "NO 1"...

...it is actually MR57 NGH which he bought for about £250k (an absolute steal). However, a few bolts and a funny font make it look like NO 1.

Yep Kahn did have that on a car for ages and also for sale in their adverts for a year or so. Not sure if it is the same plate though, the Kahn one was 51 R.

How can you admire, or give respect to a guy just because he 'worked hard' and made a few bob. He's basically saying he's better than anyone else, he's worked hard at self promotion and frankly i cannot see what he deserves any kudos for.

This is what is wrong with the world today. Praise for people for who make a lot of effort for themselves and none for anyone else. Wow he's got money. He's still a tool and frankly there is nothing to like about the guy. Take away his publicity oxygen and the rest will crumble.

When a rap-star makes a bit of cash and blows it all on champagne/cars and then invests in a few more self-promotional 'tunes' he might get a few disapproving glances, but thats about it.

But when Scott does a little bit of the same (..but in business, not 'tunes') the vast majority of people go for the jugular. Why is that please?

Big-up yourself to the masses

Because he comes across as a self-loving, arrogant prick?

OK, so he's worked hard no doubt and amassed a fair amount of wealth, but he comes across as utterly insecure.

Remember this guy being on TV, talking about buying a village in Bulgaria or similar place. I came away with the impression that his finances were about as real as his tan.
Didn't he drop £20k is some dive of a casio on that trip as well? His gold card (of some sort) got refused and he had to pay with an Abbey National onehehe

I am simply bereft of a definable reaction, beyond taking in the link and being aware of my face taking on the composure of le poisson Guppy.

Without individuals like this, life would be unutterably dull.
