Robert Mfune is just like any 19-year-old lad. Except he owns a fucking gold Bentley.
At the age of 16, Mfune, from Southampton, was working in McDonald's and running errands for binary traders on the side, while studying at college.
By the time he passed his A Levels with an AAB, he was a millionaire.

"When I was a water boy I got to learn a few things as I was always with well informed people, from the things I learnt I went home and did my own research.
"When I was 17 I setup my own account under my mum's name because of regulation purposes. It got to the point where she said 'you have got to stop doing this' so i went back to the drawing board.
"I met a guy who knew what he was doing, became mates with him and then as soon as I turned 18 I started a trading account under my own name."

The rest is history. Mfune hung up his McDonald's uniform, amassed an impressive property portfolio in both England and his home country South Africa.
He is also the manager of upcoming grime stars like Novelist.
"Going to college, working at McDonald's and as a water boy AND trading from home was the toughest time of my life." Robert said.

"It's just like going to uni with the fees you pay and loans you take out, if you're going to make it big you've got to suffer for a few years.
"When I was 18, I got the Bentley but when I was 19 I decided to get it wrapped in a gold body kit. Usually I would get a different car every year but I thought why not just change my Bentley.
"I sent it to Kream Developments who gave it a custom body kit and wrapped it in gold. No-one has got this, it's the only one in the country."
Robert's mum said: "I didn't even like it, at all. It's too flashy, maybe I'm old fashioned but I just thought why would you paint it gold? The silver was already good. But if it was me, I wouldn't buy it."

I could wax on about the uselessness of materialism but I'd be lying to myself. I'm jealous of Robert. He's done fucking great for himself. I eat more pizza than's good for me and still do not completely understand algebra, so he's the true winner.
