Millionaire£ at 23, self made. Feel lost.

677 replies

Jonesqua · 26/07/2025 11:03

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.

They would think you're selling drugs with a G wagon. 😄

My boss made his first million at 21 as a music producer to a famous Canadian artist. You'd know him.
I've just made him £85m. You wouldn't know. I'm retiring on my cut. He's a nice guy.
I have no issue with money as I've been rich and poor.
My first million at 30 and it went very quickly. Be careful. Get a personal recommendation for a financial adviser.

My latest and last gig will be very visual but I have done a lot of gifts in the past. People around me don't ask these days but I don't run with people who use me anymore.
Houses are always a good investment but don't be an arse. Treat people fairly. Living in a rental can lack secruity and people's kids grow up in poverty. They never know when they are going to get notice, it's horrendous.
Kindness will get you far. I've got a budget for gifts each year and some are £1000 but it makes a difference.
You'll make new friends as you get older (my kids are 22/26) and the both had plenty off me but I'd whoop their bums if they pissed it up the wall

You sound lovely.

That’s not an MN sarcastic lovely that’s a genuine lovely 😁

i dont care about others situations, I didnt ask them to contribute its their choice. Tell them to go complain to every other well off person.

i will not change to suit them.

Well you're clearly an insufferable prick, so life probably won't run smoothly.

You maybe 23 and a millionaire but in my opinion you are rude and childish in your actions

how dare your friends not be prepared to share the cost of a private jet to a holiday with you

how dare your friends have normal jobs that mean they have to ask for time off and it may not be given

you are totally lacking in empathy for anyone, it’s all me me me

As others have said if you are richer than others then you have a choice, if you desperately want to go somewhere but they can’t afford you you offer to pay, don’t want to do that then you find someone who can afford to go or you don’t go

the other choice is to do things that your friends can afford, so a package holiday rather than a private jet, and if you don’t want to do that, that’s your choice you don’t go

You are the one making this disconnect with your attitude, and I agree with others you need to seek therapy

Sorry you're getting beaten up on MN, OP. Males do not often venture on, and those who do can get a bit of a kicking, especially if there is any trace of self-pride!

Have you tried 9gag? I'm not kidding, if you filter out the trolls there are some genuinely helpful comments on there and the typical profile aligns more with you (young, male).

Congratulations on your success. Must be some wickid beats 🤩 but I can imagine it gets lonely at the top. Not to mention rather dull if you can't switch off the numbers in your head! (but then that might be part and parcel of an aptitude for rhythm...)

You're not revealing anything anyway. It's an anonymous parenting forum. You can answer questions. Nobody is asking for your address or national insurance number.

😁

I think you might benefit from spending some time with a life coach (not the same as therapy). It sounds like it would be good for you to explore what you want from your life and how to go about making positive changes.

It might take a few sessions with different life coaches before you find one that's right for you so don't give up too soon. Best wishes to you.

OP I was cheering you on until you said and I quote ' I don't care about others situations'.

Pride comes before a fall mate.
I will have £20m next year but I got given two years to live in January. You have no idea what is around the corner.

I think you are a nasty piece of work and this is a support forum for mainly women. Fuck off to reddit.

TheOliveFinch · 26/07/2025 13:57

SirRaymondClench · 26/07/2025 13:46

The jealousy of some people on this thread is palpable 😂

Why be jealous because the OP is a millionaire? How does it change your life in any way?

I haven’t seen much jealousy here, most people recognise that people are not defined by their wealth but by the type of person they are. The op is consistently rude and arrogant and if I compare them to someone I know personally who became very wealthy at a young age running a successful business and their outlook on life is poles apart from this and they remain humble and a decent human being , they do drive a very flash car but can be forgiven for that

Bbkkll00 · 26/07/2025 13:57

Judging by the OP's Pintrest page, I suspect he has a money fetish..

people are trying to guilt trip me because they’re less fortunate.

If we are different. In any way. Especially if it is special. Folks get defensive. Do not worry. If you travel this world alone it is for a reason. You will see that in time. I have a nine life path. The path of lone walking but maybe more. An example seen much later but seen never the less.
Just a tip though, it might be prudent to diversify your holdings. Physical good and silver. Not a paper not a promise. Good in your hand solid wealth. Much love.

I think he’s getting stick not so much for being rich but for coming across as not very likeable. The other rich poster on the other hand sounds very likeable (@Lastgig).

You said you feel disconnected . I would interpret that , by your posts , as lonely as well .

You've had many nasty replies in here but others are valid ~ find yourself a decent therapist . You came into this money too young to know how to cope with it , that's why you feel lost , a therapist would help you deal with your feelings .

Jonesqua · 26/07/2025 13:43

My friends would not understand.

id most likely get the same replies as here haha

Then you have a friends issue (except the one who knows the truth).

If you don't have issues bonding with romantic partners in the same way as you do with your friebds then perhaps this issue isn't due to ££ but that you've outgrown them in some way?

Late 20s/early 30s is prime time for people starting to change direction and settle down and perhaps you're not as close as you think you are.

It happens unfortunately.

Also, if you do genuinely suspect that you might be Autistic and/or ADHD it would be worth considering paying privately for testing (NHS wait list take years).

It would give you a better understaning of yourself either way. Best of luck.

You sound bloody obnoxious. Who cares if you're rich or poor you're deeply unpleasant.

ThinWomansBrain · 26/07/2025 14:01

if this is real, pay for a therapist or life coach to help you come to terms with your wealth and lifestyle balance.

And maybe help you with not coming across as an arrogant twat.

I struggle to spend money.

i still have the same thought process as prior earning money. I cant spend money unless its going to possibly make money.

You don't have to adopt some sort of millionaire lifestyle £1M isn't even that much these days, I don't know how much income you are generating from the £750,000 or from the btls. Perhaps £35,000 from the lump sum, same again from the btls (maybe) so £70,000, lots of people earn that much. You need to find things to do with your time it sounds like you sit around saying poor me. Start a business or find a hobby, buy a racehorse (probably couldn't actually afford to do that), find things to do that you enjoy. So many people would love to have your problems.

Is anyone here asking for your help? Doubt it.

The obvious and classic ways to feel more connection in your life have been dismissed by you. You appear to have no insight, curiosity, empathy, or further ambition. So… yes, I think it’s going to be hard for you to have anything beyond an utterly superficial and onanistic life.

localnotail · 26/07/2025 14:01

Make friends with someone who has money? Why is it so difficult?

But yes, therapy for the delulu issues. Might work as you are still quite young.

CarrotyO · 26/07/2025 14:02

Sorry OP you're struggling to get advice here because you are explaining yourself so poorly. You appear to have really poor verbal/writing abilities. It's somewhat hard for people to believe your story as it seems so unlikely that someone who can barely string a sentence together has managed to make lots of money young. You also come across as rude and totally lacking in empathy/people skills. I agree with others that you really should invest in personal development - perhaps go back to college and do some A-Levels, invest in therapy and life coaching. You don't appear to be very well rounded, although you're successful in one area of life, you're really struggling in others, including still living at home. You've made a lot of money but still haven't built an independent life.

No, empathy is very low.

the truth is, in business since very young it’s always do whatever you can.

Have to put morals to the side
