Pizza Hut delivery driver becomes Britain's youngest BILLIONAIRE aged just 30 - 'Mind blowing!'

The 30-year-old launched Gymshark in 2012, a fitness clothing line worn by athletes and celebrities across the world when he was just 19-years old.

The company was born out of his father’s garage while he was at university, using his grandma’s sewing machine to put together early products.

He worked at a local Pizza Hut as a means to make money to fund his passion.

The company is now worth an astonishing £1.25billion thanks to endorsements online from notable figures, including his now wife, Robin Gallant.

Francis’ stake of around 70 per cent of the company is estimated to be worth more than £700million.

Francis’ empire nearly came crumbling down when a video of the CEO snorting cocaine leaked online.

Apologising, he said in a statement: "Four years ago, I was a young guy.

"I got caught up in a moment and made a stupid mistake that I massively regret.

"It was a mistake I learned from – I’ll continue to dedicate myself to learning from the people around me and work towards becoming the best version of myself.”

Since then he has opened a store on. Regents Street, calling it a “surreal moment” in his career.

“To have started this brand in my bedroom to now have a store here on Regent Street, is just mind blowing.”

Earlier this year it was revealed Francis paid £11.6 million in tax.

He explained that he did not mind the staggering sum: “This country and its taxes afforded me a free education, free healthcare and, as the child of a nurse, it also paid my mum’s salary.

"I’m nothing but proud that we contribute in every way that we can.”
