Hours Worked Per Week Now: "Five to 12 hours or more, but it really depends. There is a lot I want from life. I do plan on owning several multi-million-pound homes, a boat, and jet so it's keeping me motivated. I make no secret of the fact I want to be extremely rich. A comfortable house and nice car are boring to me. If I'm not going after something, I'm bored."

Favorite Part Of The Job: "I love not having a boss, not having to get up in the morning to an alarm clock - I hate them! Definitely the flexibility."

Companies Admired: Virgin—"Richard Branson is a cool guy"; Microsoft—"Have to admire Bill Gates for what he's done"; Hotornot.com—"Cool idea. I like unique things that sell. So many 'average' people are always criticizing new ideas, which is why they don't get anywhere. Always have an open mind."
