Meet Zaf Baker, the entrepreneur who’s Instagram only boasts fast cars, luxury clothing and travel and his famous celebrity friends. 

When you were 15 years old, did you spend more time thinking about who to buy and sell on Football Manager or how you were going to make your first million and live a lifestyle most people can only dream about?

Probably the former, but for Zaf Baker, all he ever wanted to do was make money. And boy,  did he manage it.

After setting up his first business in the motor car industry when he was 16, Zaf spent the next two years in the motor car industry, setting up a successful business that made him one of the largest wholesalers in South Africa.

But business acumen isn’t something you’re born with, it’s something you learn, and though Zaf places great importance on education, it’s a slightly different education he received that has helped him get to where he is today.

He told us: “Education is very important, there’s no doubt about that. I always believed that educating yourself and following the rules would make you a living but self-education and experience would make you a fortune.

“I would take advice from successful businessmen and in class the next day, my teacher would have no idea what I’m talking about. There are some things that can’t be taught and you can only learn through experience.”

Wise words coming from the head of a now 26-year-old lad. But it’s not just money Zaf is making. He’s networking to fuck and his Instagram account is full of all the famous people he’s been able to hang around with thanks to his connections.

From Cristiano Ronaldo, to Lionel Messi to the number one pound for pound boxer in the world. Zaf hangs out with some of the biggest names you could think of.

He now spends most of his time in Dubai and the UK furthering his business ventures in the real estate industry but as a young man, also enjoys all the finer things in life… and when you can afford it, why not?

Zaf’s hobbies include Philanthropy, collecting art and Memoribila, attending football matches, Formula 1 events and going to the most expensive clubs and parties the world has to offer. Always wanting the best of everything, Zaf wasn’t happy to settle there.

Zaf also owns a fleet of his favorite cars which includes a Ferrari, rolls royce and Lamborghini.

And before anyone thinks he’s just living off a good inheritance, Zaf assures us he built his empire off one present from his father.

“My father did not help me start myself up. He thought it would be better for me to study first.” And that’s exactly what he did until he could stand on his own two feet.

We could all sit and bitch and moan about privilege and all the rest of it but let’s be honest for a second, we’re just a little bit jealous. I know I am.
