The son of the UK’s richest gypsy has revealed that his billionaire dad would think he had “gone doolally” after converting to Islam.
Alfie Best Jr., son of billionaire gypsy Alfie Best Snr., revealed that he had made the massive religious change in September after riding his dad’s £4.5million Aston Martin helicopter from London to Cornwall for lunch at a five-star hotel.
One of his mates, who is white, told the group that he had to get back to London early because his mum was attending a mosque for The Shahada – declaring her faith in one God, Allah.

“We were going for food afterwards so it was either sit outside in the car or take my shoes off and go into the mosque. My friend cried as he watched his mum take her Shahada,” hetold the Sun.
“And I felt something I haven’t experienced before in any religious place. As a gypsy, I’ve been in a lot of churches and I believe in God.
“It made my whole body tingle, like this is right for me.
“Something was trying to either contact me or something was trying to reach me.
“It was very, very strange but in a good way. I felt I belonged there.”

“He said, ‘no, because you weren’t a bad person anyway but it has enhanced you as a person’, which I think was a beautiful and brilliant way to explain it.”
