As well as cars, he also invented this bike and built a Star Wars Landspeeder for the BBC Children in Need appeal which he drove through Stamford town centre.

"A video showing her perform a classic Tik Tok dance in front of a Bugatti attracted 3.4 million views and her huge following on Instagram of 6 million gives her the power to command £20,130 ($25,162) per single Instagram post!"

Her estimated yearly income: £1,116,222.29 ($1,406,440.09), equating to a daily income of £3,058 ($3,853). This could buy a SLR McLaren 722s Roadster.
