A rebellious teen who was homeless and got kicked out of college with a baby on the way could never have imagined he would one day be running a £1 million business. Tony Habib King's future was not looking too bright when he was thrown out of college because of poor attendance.
He met the love of his life and got married at the age of 18, months before they discovered they were expecting a baby. The parents-to-be, from Chorlton, Manchester, lived together in Tony's family home for a while, but it did not work out, so they were housed in a temporary hostel by Manchester City Council for months before they found themselves a flat.
Little did the couple know that Tony, who as a teen had no clear career path, would soon find his calling in property sales, work his way up in real estate and end up launching his own company worth £1 million with offices in both Manchester and Dubai. Tony, who said he never enjoyed traditional education and preferred learning from people instead, told the Manchester Evening News he always felt he was "destined" for bigger and better things.
