Just had a quick look, last two videos a mailbag and a mailbag (adult rated, someone sent his bird a buttplug again or something)

What's your definition of an entrepreneur? He has a number of businesses which are successful in their vertacles making good money.
His car collection alone would indicate he's pretty good at what he does, even if you don't like it.
Sure people said the same about someone who was doing a bit of pharmaceutical import back in the day - nice cars, must be successful, who cares where it comes from.His car collection alone would indicate he's pretty good at what he does, even if you don't like it.
A pile of toys and money doesn't mean giving any credit to the person who has them.
If he was El Chapo from Mexico or Columbia we’d suspect money laundering. Others see him as an entrepreneur. The truth is somewhere in between.

To me it seems like the YT channel is a front - he doesn't really take it that seriously, like a Shmee, Jayemm or STG - all he appears to do is plug some company for half the video and then he goes off somewhere else. He is successful because folk are not questioning what he is really up to.

TGE did a recent video in which he valued his cars at £1.5m and then promptly bought another Porsche. Yet he lives in a modest terraced house in Oxfordshire. His car strategy doesn’t make sense either - he appears to throw money at the cars and rarely makes a profit.

He also has a flat in London (two I believe one he rent out). I'm also guess that his modest house is worth the thick end of £300k it isn't exactly a 2 up 2 on a sink estate!If he was El Chapo from Mexico or Columbia we’d suspect money laundering.

He said in the podcast mentioned up there ^^ that his cars cost ~£16k per month, add a couple of mortgages and thats got to be £20k per month financed.
If it is financed then there must be some affordability checks going on there whatever people think. TGE has also been pretty honest about financing himself to the max.

He doesn’t spanner, so ends up paying out £££’s for others to fix his cars - what’s the point? He has a nice 912 that he is spending a fortune on in repairs - for what reason exactly? Is he going to sell, set up a museum, store them for a certain period of time? We don’t know.
Buying cars to lose money is not entrepreneurial. Buying cars that are not driven is not wise financial sense. But then again we don’t know what his strategy is because he doesn’t tell us.

Affordability is not the issue, it’s the strategy, a loss leading strategy, that doesn’t make sense. If, as you write, it cost £20k per month why doesn’t he drive them? They’re sitting there losing cash every month, and then he buys more, and more. The CGT excepted, he doesn’t buy investment cars, cars that will at least not depreciate over the short term, he buys cars that will only drop in value over time.
He doesn’t spanner, so ends up paying out £££’s for others to fix his cars - what’s the point? He has a nice 912 that he is spending a fortune on in repairs - for what reason exactly? Is he going to sell, set up a museum, store them for a certain period of time? We don’t know.
Buying cars to lose money is not entrepreneurial. Buying cars that are not driven is not wise financial sense. But then again we don’t know what his strategy is because he doesn’t tell us.
I think you are making one big assumption, that he doesn't drive his cars. Just because he doesn't upload a video every time he farts doesn't mean he doesn't.

How do we know he's not a trust fund kiddy like all the others?
That would be very hypocritical considering he has been very open about his dislike of people who pretend to be self made but are using the bank of mom and dad to fund their hobbies.Edited by DonBarracuda on Monday 8th March 14:40

I have cars and I lose money on them, but I'm ok with it as I like having cars. I'd say most of us are the same, especially those with bigger fleets. No one is making money on cars at the moment.He doesn’t spanner, so ends up paying out £££’s for others to fix his cars - what’s the point?
