Alfie Best Jr, a prominent British businessman, recently converted to Islam, marking a significant change in his life. As the son of mobile home park tycoon Alfie Best Sr, Alfie Jr is part of a family whose net worth totals £700 million, as listed by the Sunday Times Rich List.
Several months ago, he first hinted at his new spiritual path by sharing a photo from a mosque with the caption: “Allah guides, none can misguide. Whoever He misguides, none can guide.” He publicly embraced his faith by posting a video stating, “All Praise to God… Alhamdulillah.”
Born in Redbridge, London, on May 22, 1997, Alfie Jr gained recognition through his participation in reality shows like My Big Fat Gypsy Fortune and Rich Kids Go Shopping. His entrepreneurial ventures started early; he sold sweets at school and owned a nightclub by age 17. After acquiring a mobile home park, he became the UK’s youngest park owner.
In a recent discussion on Dodge Woodall’s podcast, Alfie Jr shared insights into his conversion. He mentioned that reading the Quran resonated deeply with him as it reflected morals he already practiced. He described the Quran as a “moral code” beneficial for anyone and admired its scientific foresight, citing the example of intermittent fasting, a concept written about in the Quran 1,400 years ago.
Alfie Sr has supported his son’s conversion, noting an enhancement in his character. Despite initial apprehensions about public reaction, Alfie Jr has found his father’s acknowledgement of the positive changes since converting reassuring.
As he navigates his spiritual and entrepreneurial journey, Alfie Jr is committed to upholding the moral values he discovered in his new faith while striving to emulate his father’s business success.
