Michael Jackson's former bodyguard claims he was ignored by staff at a Ferrari showroom because he was wearing a tracksuit – despite being prepared to blow £500K. Multi-millionaire Matt Fiddes, 43, visited the car dealership on Saturday hoping to buy two new posh motors for him and his wife.
But he said they were left wandering around for 20 minutes while sale staff ignored them before wife Moniqe, 29, got fed up and asked for help. Matt, who was Michael Jackson’s former bodyguard and is worth £120million, said he could have bought every car in the showroom but left empty handed. He said once staff recognised him they were ‘all over him like a rash’ but he had already made up his mind to buy elsewhere.
Matt, who lives in Devon, has previously bought a Ferrari 360 Spider from the garage when he was 29 and went in again that weekend. But claims staff might have assumed he was a time waster because he was wearing a tracksuit - and the dealership lost a huge sale because of it.
