Millionaire£ at 23, self made. Feel lost.

[Jonesqua]

I became a millionaire£ at 23.

All happened between 20-23.

Self made, have 3 buy to let houses with 300k£ equity in them rented out. With 750k£ liquid money.

The change happened so fast. All of my friends have regular income , it’s sometimes hard to do things I want to do as income difference.

I am use to making money so quickly that essentially I feel as if I’ve lost touch over it. As no one around me friend wise can relate or I speak with about it. Does anyone else feel like this in a similar situation?

I’ve lost motivation. Feel disconnected from the people around me who I grew up with.

Nah..not buying this one.

They have been bought over 3 years.

To be fair, I see how it could happen. Not sure why you’re assuming it’s a male though, unless I missed that detail. Not sure why that poster thinks production = managing 😆

Overall though, a 23 year old millionaire who has the sense to make said millions, would be talking to real life advisors with credentials rather than posting on Mumsnet 😁

How did you save for the deposits? You clearly weren't broke when you started out. That's what people want to know.

@Jonesqua I suspect it is your hairy hands that are the problem here but on the slim chance that this is a genuine thread , money isn’t what should connect you to people , I mix with people who have less money than me and some who are multi millionaires and it isn’t an issue ever and boasting about the amount of money you have does show a lack of maturity and is likely to make you very unpopular

Its clear why you struggle to make friends..........

I’m always here if you want to ease your financial burden and get rid of those evil properties that make you feel isolated 😩
Let me know when you are ready to receive my bank account details 😶

Doesn’t sound jealous at all. Sounds spot on. You might not like the advice but that doesn’t mean it’s not true or that it comes from a place of jealousy. 😆

Me either

He's said it multiple times. He made money from producing music/beats and then he invested into houses. Allegedly....

This thread isn’t about money

its about disconnection from life

He said he earned it by age 20.

You sound very impressed with yourself.

I know a few people who’d made that sort of money by that age - indeed one had before he’d even left school. £1m is a lot of money for most people, but it’s not a lot of money to consider yourself private jet territory and you won’t have much of it left by middle age if that’s how you want to use it now. In your shoes I’d really hang on to the friends who’ve known you since before you had some cash, because those are the people who you can be sure like you for you. At least for now they do. If you carry on focusing on such superficial things, they might get the notion that you’re a bit full of yourself.

Rage bait 🧐😆😆😆. School holidays innit?

Serious question and not a trick one but unless you are producing for the biggest music stars out there how does music producing amass so much money other than a (reasonably) good salary?

Either:
A. Troll
B. 🎻World's tiniest violin

I'm leaning towards A, as it's the school holidays.

You're just 23.

Talk to your mum and dad.

This is a parenting forum so why not use your own parents for advice?

Then there was no real need to mention money at all or being a self made millionaire 😂

No I started music at 20 properly

which funded everything , each year one houses was bought to invest money

Why would you be disconnected from anything? If you’re such a successful music producer surely you will just keep busy doing that and be connected to life through that? Simon Cowell didn’t stop working when he made a million.

Go and do something useful somewhere where help is needed. You must have some transferable skills. Also, you will meet some interesting people and your self esteem will improve.

this is a painful thread to read - what is the point of responding just to comment on the OP s english skills, whether they may or may not be British, whether being a landlord is morally bankrupt or not...

MN at its best - a weird mob of bored weirdoes, who all pile on because... why not.

RTFT and move along if you have nothing useful to add.

OP - you ve had some good advice upthread re therapy and fjnancial advisors. One of my pal is a bit like you. Made loads of money v young out of a talent, but does not keep it secret from our group of friend. We tell him when he sounds a bit "out of touch" and twatty, and we keep doing what we have always done: "cheap socialising" and low key sports. He s got his richer pals for the fancy stuff. Maybe you need to speak to one of your friends to help keep you a bit grounded.

Ok I’ll assume you are for real.

look, you sound really unhappy generally and it might be worth asking yourself if, deep down, you are at all happy about this developing attitude of being controlled by money, and looking at others less fortunate as nothing to do with you and that you don’t want to help? Felling connected means trying to understand other people, and that doesn’t have to be about giving away all your money but you might do well to expand your horizons a bit and understand how other people feel and live.

Seeing people living in the houses you got as just things in an investment means you’ve stopped seeing them as real people with their own realities and feelings. And with that quite easily can come the attitude you are developing that they are lesser. You’ve not outright said it but it’s very implied in the way you speak. That you’re so bound to money already is worrying. I think you are like any other human - everyone wants to feel connected, to have friends and people they can experience fun times with and to have relationships that are meaningful.

So it’s a great thing you’ve noticed you feel disconnected and you’re not happy. You’ve got a chance to do something about it by being more open perhaps with your existing friends and perhaps yes sharing some of your success - not to give ‘hand outs’ but perhaps for example helping others to do what you do so they too can become know financially comfortable?

Or you can continue down this path until you are comfortable enough to connect with other youngsters who have wealth and try to enter that world. Not sure you’d enjoy it though, because it will again be about wealth and money. In a way you are quite fortunate to have made this money young and to feel the way you feel because you’re already learning that money really is only a tool and what matters more is the quality of the connections you have. And if you only want connections so you can have fun times and split the cost - ask yourself will that really be enough longer term? Sure it might be fun and extravagant to be around those who are happy to split the cost of a private jet but if they are not people you can talk to, laugh with, share your hopes and dreams with - real connection, that has nothing to do with money - you’ll still feel this emptiness deep down once it becomes routine and you’re used to it. Then you’ll look to earning enough to afford the next big ticket item and the same problem will repeat. Meanwhile you’ll be getting more and more disconnected AND arrogant and removed from how the vast majority of people live.

Make money sure, why not. It’s good to be financially comfortable. But you’re already letting it control you. Is that what you really want?

Have you spoken to your family about how you feel if you live with them?

You’re taking an upfront fee and a % of sales for life on a retainer. Everytime that song is played, you’re paid.

I'm not convinced,
Reported this as fake but apologies if MNHQ decide it's not.
