Britain's richest gypsy Alfie Best today told MailOnline he is determined to become the UK's first billionaire traveller in the next 12 months - and put his extraordinary wealth down to 'hard work, dedication and persistence'.
Mr Best has a fortune of £947million having invested in US-style caravan parks and billing them as a solution to Britain's social housing crisis - up from £745million a year ago.
The flamboyant businessman, who recently relocated to Monaco, has been ranked as the 173rd richest person in Britain in the Sunday Times Rich List for 2024 - but has vowed to climb even higher by next year.
A £202m increase from 2023 meant he jumped 58 places on the annual ranking of the UK's wealthiest people.
It came as the 'king' of Britain's migrant hotels' £750million fortune soared and has catapulted him into UK's Rich List for the first time.
54-year-old Mr Best has revealed he is determined to increase his fortune so that he officially becomes a billionaire - a prospect made more likely after he became a tax exile and moved to Monaco.
'I will just have to work harder and harder,' he said to make up the shortfall of £53m from reaching the £1billion figure', he told MailOnline. 'Being here in Monaco had given me a clearer vision to create a global business.'
Best, who made his fortune from mobile home parks and other property investments, said his success was down to 'hard work, dedication and persistence.'

Mr Best, pictured with his luxury cars, was born into a gypsy Romany family in a caravan at the side of the road, he left school at the age of 12 and his first job was helping his father sell tarmac door-to door
Alfie Best's company Wyldecrest owns more than 90 caravan and static home parks across the UK, Europe and the US, including Tremarle Park in Cornwall
He quit the UK two months ago having grown tired of paying the taxman millions and being the victim of a 'witch hunt'.
His anger that the Government's plan to scrap the dom-nom status for entrepreneurs and other business leaders was also a key factor in his move.
He still retains a £7million home in Surrey but sold off his fleet of luxury cars, including two Bugattis for over £2m.
Best told MailOnline from Monaco that he wants to open mobile home parks across France and in the US as he expands his empire of over 100 sites.
He has no plans to return to the UK and instead will live as a tax exile in the small principality joining other Brits like Sir Phillip Green and and racing driver Sir Lewis Hamilton.
He said: 'Until we have a Britain that backs business I think you are going to see more and more entrepreneurs and skilled people leaving the UK'.
Meanwhile Graham King, a former caravan park and disco tycoon, is believed to be making £3.5million a day - all from the taxpayer - for accommodating and transporting arrivals due to the UK's migrant crisis.
He has amassed a personal fortune of £750million from housing asylum seekers and his holiday parks - making him the 221st richest person in the UK, according to the Sunday Times' annual rich list.
He is expected to become Britain's first immigration industry billionaire because he has a contract with the Home Office that will last until September 2029.
Mr has a fortune of £947million having invested in US-style caravan parks and by billing them as a solution to Britain's social housing crisis.
His wealth is up £202million from £745million.
It came just weeks after he emigrated to tax haven Monaco and told MailOnline: 'It is no longer Great Britain but Broken Britain. If you are a successful businessman, you are punished by the taxman and I have had enough'.
The list of Britain's 350 wealthiest individuals and families together hold combined wealth of £795.36 billion, according to the new data. Some have joked it could be called 'The Rishi List' - after the PM and his wife Akshata Murty's fortune surged by more than £120 million over the past year.
King Charles has also seen his fortune rise by £10million to £610million - but the overall number of billionaires in the UK appears to have peaked and now dropped.
The Hindujas have again topped Britain's rich list - and are worth £2billion more than a year ago with an extraordinary net worth of £37.2billion in 2024. The family, led by Indian-British billionaire businessman Gopi Hinduja, boss of the Indian conglomerate Hinduja Group continue to make money hand over fist from media and finance to energy and cars.

Hugh Grosvenor, 33, the seventh Duke of Westminster, is the richest person under 40 on the list with £10.1 billion at the age of 33. The duke, who is Prince George's godfather, inherited his title and a vast land and property portfolio at the age of 25.
Graham King's entry marks an extraordinary turn around for him and his family.
At the turn of the century he was running a caravan park in Canvey Island, Essex, with his brother.
He branched out after a disco he ran lost its licence and he suggested he could use the building - a former cinema - to house refugees instead.
His firm made the news when a council chose to house benefit claimants in its caravans. It was also in the firing line when inspectors found it was putting up asylum seekers in 'decrepit' and 'run-down' conditions at a former barracks in Kent and an Army camp in Pembrokeshire.
Mr King's wealth has put his son and daughter through a £44,000-a-year boarding school and funded the family's globe-trotting holidays and Alpine ski trips. His daughter Catalina is studying to be an artist and her creations include £10 prints bearing the slogan 'Will trade racists for refugees'.
Alfie Best - Britain's richest gypsy - has a fortune of £947million, according to the Sunday Times.
He said three weeks ago: 'It is true I will not pay any income tax….I am going to start a business clickk here and have no intention of returning to the UK.'
As someone who has enjoyed the spoils of fabulous wealth, from a personal helicopter with the registration G-PSYE to a fleet of luxury cars, Best knows he will fit in perfectly well among the rich and famous who call Monaco their home

Living in Monaco will put Best out of the reach of the taxman - but he will still pay corporation tax in the UK

Best - who points out that he will still be paying corporation tax on all his UK businesses despite his personal change of circumstances - says he was more motivated to leave the country by the state of what he calls 'Broken Britain'.
