Jet-setting entrepreneur, Alfie Best Jnr, who is said to have amassed a £10 million fortune, believes he is now the first traveller to become a Muslim after discovering Allah
The son of Britain’s richest gypsy says he
has now found inner peace after turning to Islam.
According to Mirror, Alfie Jnr, whose
billionaire dad, Alfie Snr, is one of the richest people in the country,
reckons he is the first traveller to take up the faith, which has resulted in
him ditching booze and instead studying the Qur’an.
The 25-year-old Romany gypsy is joint 85th on
the Rich List for people under 30, with an estimated £10 million fortune – he
drives around in a £180,000 Bentayga Bentley, has a £1.2 million fifth-floor
Knightsbridge flat overlooking Harrods and wears a £150,000 platinum watch that
is encrusted with grains of stone from a space meteorite.
But since becoming a Muslim, he now says
prayers in Arabic five times a day and visits a mosque at least once a week,
and all after finding Allah following a helicopter trip to Cornwall for lunch.
He and four friends flew off to a five-star
hotel in his dad’s £4.5 million Aston Martin helicopter for a bite to eat last
September, but had to return early as one of his mates’ mum was attending a
mosque in Lewisham, South London, for The Shahada – declaring her faith in one
God, Allah.
He revealed to The Sun: “We were going for
food afterwards so it was either sit outside in the car or take my shoes off
and go into the mosque. My friend cried as his watched his mum take her
Shahada.
“And I felt something I haven’t experienced
before in any religious place. It made my whole body tingle, like this is right
for me.
“Something was trying to either contact me or
something was trying to reach me.
“It was very, very strange but in a good way.
I felt I belonged there.”
The entrepreneur, who is also
super-featherweight professional boxer, left school at just 12 and hired a van
and a driver to sell cleaning products to factory bosses.
