A lot of people have been asking Alan Sugar how he made his fortune so he shared his secret on Twitter.
I have been asked by a lot of people how I made my fortune
Well , I bought car aerials for £1, sold them for £1.20 . Went on and bought more sold them and bought even more and sold them and so on………Then my uncle died and left me £500m— Lord Sugar (@Lord_Sugar) November 24, 2018
Which was good, but these replies made it better.

Heres a better question do you think you could replicate your success today if you were younger ?

And as one person pointed out …
I wished I had a quid for the amount of times you’ve posted this… I’d be as rich as you 😝

You’d probably have £20 tbh…

Not if he invested it in car aerials

Not everyone appeared to join in the joke though.
And weren't you only 16 when you started in business and kept going by just working hard every day?
