Alan Michael Sugar, one of the best known British businessmen in the world is the founder of the highly successful electronics company Amstrad which he had since sold to broadcaster BSkyB. The business magnate had also served as the chairman of Tottenham Hotspur from 1991 to 2001. It was evident form his childhood that the bright young boy would one day grow up to be a great businessman. He built himself a bicycle from an old frame as his family could not afford to buy him a new one. By the age of 12 he started earning his own money by working part-time for a greengrocer, and by the time he was out of high school his earnings were higher than those of his father! The enterprising young man was quick to start up his own business too. He was just 21 years old when he founded the company Amstrad which initially dealt in consumer electronics before expanding to cover other product lines. The company grew to be one of the most profitable ventures during the 1980s and was sold to broadcaster BSkyB in 2007. He became a media personality by appearing on the BBC reality show ‘The Apprentice’. In spite of being such a successful businessman he is not without his faults; he has often been criticized for his outdated views regarding women.
