Real estate entrepreneur and businessman Nana Kwame Bediako well known as Cheddar has said that he used to sell fake Versace and YSL shirts while growing up.
Cheddar or Freedom Ceasar has once again shared some of his struggles in life. He shared his story some time back about how he started his real estate with one plot.
Speaking in an interview with Samuel Leeds, Freedom Ceasar recounted how he sold fake Versace and YSL clothes and made some good profit out of them.
“I made my first million pounds at the age of 21 and I will tell you exactly what happened. I was living in England and I was sent there to go to college and I was selling fake Versace and YSL shirts in the back of my 205 GTI which I bought for 499 pounds.
“My capital when I was going to London was US$6,000. My mum, my brothers, and everybody gave me 130 pounds which they taught was big money for me but I was laughing in my head…It was in 1994, I remember very well and I bought a Panasonic chip phone and so I was like the new kid on the block.
“…Then I met Johnny Prescott, he was selling the jeans and the shirts. I just wanted to buy one pair of jeans and one pair of shit but when I saw the prices, 30 and 20 pounds, I offered him 20 pounds and 15 for the shirt and I put it at the back of my boot and I was selling it for 50 and 40. So, I started making money from the boot but I fell into the streets because I already understood what business was. At that point, business was me from where I was coming from,” Nana Kwame Bediako recounted.
