Man who left school with no qualifications buys £300k Lamborghini and says 'anything is possible'

An multimillionaire who is unable to write has told young people "anything is possible" after buying himself a new £300K Lamborghini.

Matt Fiddes, 43, said he left school without any qualifications after failing his exams but still has made a success of life and built up a fortune.

He has been pictured at a showroom picking up his new Italian supercar.

Since leaving school he has spent more than two decades building a global martial arts brand and amassing a net worth of £120 million.

Now the business tycoon has dropped hundreds of thousands of pounds on a Lamborghini Aventador.

And Matt said he has only shared the photographs of his new ride to inspire young people, telling them "you can make your own successes in life".

He said: "I didn't know whether to share these photos and video but I'm proud of my achievements and want young people to know that you may get knocked back, struggle with learning, fail to get the grades you want, go through tough times, trolled or bullied for being different.

"But, you can make your own successes in life. I still can't write and failed all school exams!

"I've built up a global business and property empire with an incredible team around me just with pure passion and determination! Anything is possible!

"So, I'm showing off my new car which I've worked very hard for. I hope to motivate you all!"

Meanwhile, in February this year Matt, who was once a bodyguard for Michael Jackson, claimed he was ignored at a Ferrari showroom because he was wearing a tracksuit, reported WalesOnline.

He said that he and his wife were left to wander around for 20 minutes while sales staff paid no attention to them.

And once staff recognised him they were “all over him like a rash” but he had already made up his mind to buy elsewhere, he claimed.

Matt, from Devon, said: “I wanted to treat myself to a new supercar and I thought I would get my wife one too. I went in because I was in the area and I have had cars from them before – I bought a 360 Spider from the garage when I was in 29.

“I walked in right past everyone and was ignored. We wandered around for about 20 minutes before my wife said this is ridiculous and went over to one of the salesperson and said my husband wants to buy a car.

“Then two sale people were all over me like a rash but by that point I was already thinking I would buy one elsewhere. I don’t dress up a lot, I’m in track suits 99.9 per cent of the time because I am a fitness guy, that’s who I am."
