Best was born in a caravan at the side of a road in Leicester to a poor Romanichal Gypsy family. He left school at the age of 12 and started his first business at 14 years old, buying and selling cars and vans. In 1990, aged 20, his car business almost collapsed so he got a job at a phone shop earning £70 a week. Three weeks later he started his own mobile phone shop then 18 months later with the help of a bank loan, he had thirteen stores in London. He later sold the business and moved to property investing.

In 2001, he bought his first mobile home park in Romford, Essex, the Lakeview Residential Park. He has since begun businesses in the hospitality, leisure, events, trading and finance industries. In 2018 he purchased a golf course in Herefordshire.
