A university drop-out who taught himself to become a stockbroker claims he earns between £20,000 and £30,000 on a bad month. The Nigeria born Elijah Oyefeso, 21, started by using his student loan and now trades on the stock market for just one hour a day to earn his income.
Elijah, from Camberwell, London, now lives in a £5,000-a-month flat and his weakness is super cars, with his most recent purchase a £125,000 Mercedes GTS. He said: 'If you work hard you don't need to look at the price tag, you just get it.'
Elijah claims he bought his first Mercedes aged 18 but soon faced jealousy from his peers in the south London neighbourhood after his success. He said: 'They've come from the same area and they're still in the same area and went to school in the same area. 'My mum came from west Africa and came with probably £100 in her pocket.'
Elijah went to the University of Buckingham to study business management but put his student loan to good use. He said: 'I used my student loan during university and I thought "I could actually do this". Elijah dropped out of university and started investing in the stock market with the cash sum. Within nine months, he claimed he was making tens of thousands of pounds. See more photos below...
He said: 'When you're little you've got your ideal car, you've got your dream car. Some kids are like "I want to get a Bugatti, I want to get a Ferrari". 'Some people are like "yeah yeah." But I got it.' That was my dream, I worked for it, I got it.'
But Elijah made headlines in July when his Lamborghini crashed into his own £60,000 Bentley, with the repair work costing £55,000 on the Lamborghini. He was left unfazed by it: 'But that's life, money comes and goes regardless.'
Elijah also has a collection of expensive watches, ranging from a Rolex to a Cartier watch costing £21,000 which he has only worn a couple of times. But he loves his watch collection, he said: 'You've got to treat them like princesses.'
He's even given them names, calling one watch Michelle and another Aaliyah after the singer. Now that he is comfortably wealthy, Elijah has decided to do something for someone else - he's building a house in Africa for his mother. He said: 'It's a surprise I haven't told her yet.'
