The businessman is now making a start on his next venture - an online version of Poundland called poundshop.com. Mr Smith says his inspiration was his hardworking dad who ditched his job to become a trader selling pens door to door when he realised it brought in more money.

'It was a way of making pocket money. I was always interested in making cash. I'd get round to doing my homework later. 'I was more interested in getting in making cash. I’d get round to doing my homework later.'

The box was always popular and everything got sold which is where the idea for Poundland came. He managed to convice a shopping centre in Burton upon Trent to open a store in December 1990 and £13,000 of stock was sold on the first day. Mr Smith remembers working through the night to get the shop re-stocked for the following day. +9 The boy did good: Poundland founder Steve Smith stands in his kitchen at his home in Shropshire +9 Living the dream: Times were tough for Steve Smith growing up but now he gets to relax in this luxury living room which has its own jukebox +9 A chandelier hangs over the large table in Steve Smith's dining room in Shropshire In 2002 he sold his share of Poundland for nearly £50million. By then the business had a million customers a week and 6,000 people were employed by the company. Mr Smith now finds himself living in a luxury mansion with his family while also owning homes in Florida and Majorca. Despite having enough money in the bank to retire, Mr Smith didn't want to stop working just yet and has launched a number of other businesses including one which offers investment loans to other entrepreneurs waiting for a lucky break.
