A Cypriot businessman, at the age of 17, stole his mother's credit card with 30 thousand British pounds in order to start his own business.
Today, in his 39 years he is one of the most successful businessmen in Great Britain and his business is worth over 170 million euros, as mentioned in local news website Offsite.com.cy.
The impressive story began in 1997, when Michael wanted his own business, through which he would offer web-hosting services, but he needed a substantial capital. So he used his mother's credit card.
According to him, the risk was worth it since the profit was much higher than the credit card amount.
Of course, his mother forgave him. He reveals how the... Business acumen inherited it from his father, who arrived from Cyprus to Britain and opened fish and chip marks.
