Man feels 'richer than Elon Musk and Bill Gates' from car parks in seaside resort

A man has explained why he feels he is "richer than Elon Musk and Bill Gates" after he built a business from nothing.

Howard Plant arrived in the seaside town of Blackpool with no shoes on his feet but has now managed to build a business that he and his family can rely on. The 64-year-old opened up about how he was born on a fairground and moved to what he describes as the "best place in the UK".

Now, Howard offers "bargain parking spaces" in the busy coastal resort and has a strong passion for customer service after arriving in the town 40 years ago with almost nothing to his name. He went through jobs like no tomorrow before stumbling across this venture that made him a millionaire at one stage, Lancs Live reports.
