A low cost number plate side hustle helped make Rod Shields, 60, a millionaire after building a property empire with his earnings
A man from humble beginnings has shared the secret of his wealth, telling the story of how he was able to kickstart his career as a multi-millionaire after buying a single number plate.
Outside his main job, Mr. Shields still runs a side hustle selling custom number plates for business clients, harking back to his roots.According to the businessman, his best-selling car number plate, BE57APP, sold for around £3,000. “I've always read the Sunday Times as it had cars and houses in - my two loves. And it was there I discovered number plates. I didn't know how much I could sell it for, I just thought 'let me just try it.'
Despite the risk, a potential buyer got in touch on that Sunday night and came to check the number plate out.
