"21 year old trader crashes Lamborghini and Bentley"

Link to story below.

21 year old trader makes £26,000 a month, working for himself I presume.

My question is how?

it takes money to make money. Likely has rich parents to start off with a lot of money. After that, is just a good trader.

I thought that too, in the article it said he started by using his student loan and quit uni though.

Wouldn't say that university he went to is somewhere people with rich parents would go.

 

I didn't read the article, so I was just taking a shot in the dark. But I went to a very (in our terms) non target school in Michigan and due to location there was a ton of super rich kids that went there. They were also pretty dumb, so I don't think they would make good traders though.

Just came upon this. I am really good with car prices and I can already tell u those cars don't cost as much as you think. The lambo is the older gallardo and you can pick one in good condition for 90k and the bentley, thats also the older body, could be a 2006.. U can pick that up for 30-50k. This is out of the city prices btw

I cant believe that people continue to believe this BS, on par with that high schooler in NY that made up his trading millions.

Possible explanations: -its all fake and a publicity stunt orchestrated by either him to get his "binary options education platform" off the ground or actually paid for by some binary options firm -Parent money and wants to act like its not -He's running a scam etc etc

Id say a 20 year old doing Football management at Buckingham University suddenly turning his student loan into 20k GBP/month trading binary options is the least likely scenario
