An entrepreneur who left school with no qualifications has bought a $337K Lamborghini - telling young people: "Anything is possible!"

Matt Fiddes, 43, says he failed all his exams - but posted a video showing him picking up his new supercar.

Since leaving school with no qualifications he spent more than two decades building a global martial arts brand and amassing a net worth of around $150 million.

Now the business tycoon has dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars on a supercar - a Lamborghini Aventador.

Matt, from Devon, UK, said he only shared the photographs of his new ride to inspire young people, telling them "You can make your own successes in life".

He posted to Instagram: "I didn’t know whether to share these photos and video but I’m proud of my achievements and want young people to know that you may get knocked back, struggle with learning, fail to get the grades you want, go through tough times, trolled or bullied for being different.

"But, you can make your own successes in life. I still can’t write and failed all school exams!

"I’ve built up a global business and property empire with an incredible team around me just with pure passion and determination! Anything is possible!

"So, I’m showing off my new car which I’ve worked very hard for. I hope to motivate you all!"
