Ken Wills works and plays hard in his native Kent
Ken's fortune was not made through a lucky lottery win,nor did he inherit his wealth.
Ken came from modest beginnings,growing up in a semi in Ashford,the son of an auxiliary nurse and a jobbing builder.
It was sheer determination and hard work that rocketed Ken Wills from obscurity to a lifestyle complete with a big house by the sea and expensive cars.
Today he boasts a jet engine maintenance shop,a helicopter firm,a fire prevention company,a restaurant,a jewellery business and a radio station on the Isle of Thanet.
"If you do what you love,you're going to be better at it," advises Ken to budding entrepreneurs.
But Ken isn't resting on his laurels.His low boredom threshold means that he's always keen to find new pies to put his fingers into.Success breeds success so it seems.
