BRITAIN’S richest Gypsy doesn’t shy away from splashing his millions – and his latest lavish holiday was no exception.
Alfie Best – whose net worth hit a whopping £745million this year – spent a glamorous week on his £9million superyacht, sailing around Cannes and brushing shoulders with celebs.
The property mogul lapped up the luxury lifestyle, enjoying meals cooked by his private chef and taking jet boot lessons from a private tutor he had on board.
But his holiday didn’t see him switch off from work completely, with the grafter regularly nipping away to take Zoom calls to back home.
Alfie’s jaw-dropping wealth comes from his residential park homes empire Wyldecrest Parks, which made £32million last year alone.
As a well-earned break, he whisked daughter Elizabeth and son Alfie Jr away to Cannes, where his yacht – named Wyldecrest after the firm that made him his fortune – is docked.
Alfie told The Sun: “We chartered the yacht around Monaco, Cannes and St Tropez.
“I won’t lie to you, I was working in the afternoon on Zoom. I really enjoyed sitting down for a really good lunch and dinner.
“There’s a chef onboard.”
Not content with staying afloat on the water – Alfie arranged for a private tutor to teach him how to hover in the air on jet-powered boots.
His verdict? “Honestly, terrifying,” Alfie said.
“I’m a bit of a thrill seeker – I can’t say I’m a roller coaster person.”
Alfie spent days touring around the picturesque Bay of Cannes.
He added: “We went to Cannes Island – there’s a restaurant there that you can only go to if you have a yacht.
“I’ve been there in the past and Elton John was there jamming out. It’s very surreal.
“I’ve got two Sea-Doo on the yacht – they’re like jet propelled boards that take you underwater and around.
“Dolphins were swimming alongside us.”
Alfie shared a typical day spent on his holiday.
“I’d get up around 9am. I then have breakfast upstairs roundabout 9.30am,” he said.
“Waking up at 9am is quite lazy for me. Then I check my emails to see if any calls need to be done.
“Then the boat would take us to shore and we’d explore town for two hours.
“Come back go out on Sea-Doos, or take the paddle board.
“Sometimes we’d take a donut out and have it pulled by the speedboat we’ve got with us.
“Then at 4pm I do two hours worth of mentoring with other businesses.
“I’d spend the afternoon sunbathing, before a 7pm dinner on the yacht upstairs.”
And Alfie’s luxury trip did not come cheap.
He added: “To take the yacht out for a week it’s around £85,000 – plus fuel and docking it comes to about £100,000.”
Alfie’s yacht is an exclusive Sunseeker 90 Ocean and boasts a watersports speedboat tender and a jetski – both accommodated in the yacht’s own submersible dock.
On board there is luxury accommodation for eight guests, plus a lounge and swim platform at water level.
Photos show a gorgeous dining area suitable for eight people.
Glamourous sleeping quarters make for a good night’s rest on board with beautiful artwork hanging over the bed.
The bathroom is fully kitted out with a window that looks out to sea from the shower.
An outdoor seating area gives guests an option to dine to the sound of waves amid the sea air.
