BRITAIN'S richest gypsy Alfie Best owns a jaw-dropping car collection including a Ferrari F8 Spider, Rolls-Royce and £2.7m Bugatti Chiron.

Alfie's lavish purchases include a £1.2m limited-edition six-wheel Mercedes G-Wagon pick-up truck and a £3.6m seven-seater helicopter.
Also in his driveway is a £2.7m Bugatti Chiron, £2m Bugatti Veyron, a £275,000 Ferrari F8 Spider S-A and a £350,000 Rolls-Royce Dawn.

But life hasn't always been so luxurious for the 450th richest person in Britain.
The Romany gypsy was born in a caravan by the roadside, left school at 12 to sell cars and earned £70 a week as a mobile phone salesman, while sleeping rough.
His core business, Wyldecrest Parks, has become the largest residential park operator in Europe with 450 employees.
Alfie's company currently operates 97 sites from Inverness to Land’s End.
By the end of the year he will own 108 parks and next year, if all goes to plan, he expects to be the world’s first gypsy billionaire.

The businessman has also grown his empire to include nightclubs, bars, golf clubs, gin, pies and upmarket holiday rentals.
And he has also snapped up a 90-foot yacht that costs £9million which he will use to visit the hotspots of the Mediterranean.
But Alfie believes "everything must earn its keep", which means the new superyacht and crew can be chartered out – for an eye-watering £80,000 a week.
Alfie's entrepreneurial success has seen him rake in millions and he now enjoys a luxury lifestyle as shown by his fleet of stunning cars.
He is now worth £700million, according to the latest Sunday Times Rich List.
In 2021, Alfie shaved his head and got a job as a drainage engineer on three of his parks while filming Undercover Big Boss.
He also worked in a bar pulling pints and shadowed a caravan salesman.
Afterwards he said: "We've got it wrong along the way, that's apparent but our failures make us better and our successes have kept us going.
"I'd love to do it again in a few years time and see how much has changed."
Aside from motors, the millionaire's taste for luxury is also seen in his incredible collection of property.
Alfie has a £8m townhouse in North London's Hampstead, an £8.5m Surrey mansion and a 360-acre farm in Hertfordshire worth £12m.
