Does Money Buy Happiness?
Britain’s Most Eccentric Billionaire Reveals the Truth
October 22, 2018 By The Money Wizard
If you’re from the United Kingdom, you’ve no doubt heard of today’s guest.
If you’re an apple pie eatin’ American across the pond like myself, you’re probably just as confused as I was. Well, let me tell you, you’re in for treat.
Our guest is worth an estimated $750 million British pounds, which translates to about $965 million US dollars and places him close enough to a billion to allow me to fib on this article’s headline, mostly guilt free.
He began his path to wealth exactly like you’d expect… as a broke singer in an R&B group, selling magazines on street corners.
Ok, probably not the most common road to riches. But his weird side hustle led to a light bulb moment he couldn’t ignore. He had an unbelievable talent for selling magazines.
Before long, he’d founded his own magazine company, but still strapped for cash, he moonlighted as an unqualified biographer. He took the jobs nobody else was interested in – like a biography about a still relatively unknown martial artist named Bruce Lee.
When Bruce Lee’s unexpected death randomly coincided with the release of the biography, our guest found himself as the world’s premier Bruce Lee expert overnight. Not to mention, the proud owner of the rights to the world’s only Bruce Lee biography. He made a fortune.
How’s that for the most random story to riches ever?
From there, he used his windfall to build up a publishing empire which now includes Maxim, The Week, Men’s Fitness, and a host of massive online properties, like MentalFloss.com.
His name is Felix Dennis.
And he’s one of the world’s most eccentric multi-millionaires.
is wealth is just one reason for his fame. He also gained notoriety when he admitted that during one particular binge filled decade, he spent over $100 million dollars on a frequent mix of 12 high priced escorts at a time and cocaine “delivered by the bucketload.” (His words)
Oh, and in one especially bizarre drunken interview, he me may or may not have admitted to killing a man.
All this makes him sound like a bit of a scumbag. But the Brits assure me he’s more like the country’s lovable (and rich) drunk uncle.
