I was fired from call centre but turned my side hustle into a £37 million fortune thanks to a simple £25 investment

A MAN has told how he turned his side hustle into a multi-million-pound business after he was sacked from a call centre.

Sabri Suby's simple £25 investment paid off big time - as his idea grew into a global success after years of financial struggle.

The 37-year-old, from Australia, now flies in a private jet and has generated an eye-watering £750million in sales for his clients.

He is the brains behind , a digital marketing agency Down Under that has been crowned the fastest-growing three years in a row.

Companies are now fighting to outsource their advertising to Sabri in the hopes he will work his magic on their online ad campaigns.

The dad has now shared the details of his rags-to-riches tale, which began with a small investment and a belly full of determination.

Sabri explained his mother worked three jobs to feed him and his sister when they were kids, which instilled an unwavering work ethic in him.

At age eight, he began working before school to help her - "waking up early" to help her set up the cafe where she worked.

"I would sweep the floor, take out the tables and chairs, and set them up," he said.

Although money was tight, Sabri said he never felt deprived of anything thanks to his "incredible upbringing."

He told the : "I never felt 'poor'. I believe being poor is a state of mind.

"I mean, yeah I knew there was a lack of money when I saw my mum working three jobs and carrying the weight of two parents.

"But I had an incredible upbringing. I watched my mum hold down three jobs and still come home and cook a healthy meal for me and my sister.

"I coined it 'single mother work ethic’'."

Sabri was keen to take some of the financial burden from his mum, and took his first paying job making peanut butter at a local health food store for £1.35 an hour.

He even busked with a harmonica to help his family make ends meet, earning £45 in a matter of hours.

The savvy dad-of-three said: " I had no idea what I was doing, but I didn't let that stop me."

OPPORTUNITY IS CALLING

So he was hardly going to let being given the boot from a call centre stunt his ambition.

Sabri had secured the job shortly after dropping out of university, but was left deflated when his boss fired him and said his performance was "s**t."

However, he used his failed stint on the phones in 2014 to fuel his own venture instead of beating himself up.

The entrepreneur discussed his idea for King Kong with his future wife Shalini, who bought him a computer as a gift to help get his business off the ground.

The Byron-Bay-born multi-millionaire then spent an additional £25 adding credit to a prepaid phone to make cold calls from his rented bedroom.

His small investment went on to earn him a net worth of nearly £37million, as well as a seat at the table on Australia's Shark Tank.

Sabri really hit the big time when he expanded his brand across the US, UK, Canada, United Arab Emirates and New Zealand in May 2021.

King Kong now boasts more than 200,000 customers in 136 different countries, and has generated over $4.2 billion in sales since its inception.

Sabri's hard work in turn created 58 millionaires, while his agency made over more than £16million in revenue over the last year.
