Britain's flashiest playboy shows off his toys.

With £25m at his disposal, the loudest car in Britain as his ride and a fleet of leggy models on speed dial - Danny Lambo is Britain's self-styled 'flashiest playboy'.

The 37-year-old hotelier says he is part of a new generation of self-made millionaires ditching traditional English humbleness in favour of flaunting their wealth.

What makes the Croydon-born entrepreneur even more remarkable is that he left school with no qualifications and was told by his headmaster that he would fail in life.

THE FLEET OF CARS THAT COST £100,000-A-YEAR JUST TO MAINTAIN 

Purple Lamborghini Diablo £150k

Orange Lamborghini Murcielago £90k

Yellow Lamborghini Aventador £375k

Yellow Ferrari 458 £250k

Red Aston Martin DB6 £500k

Black Range Rover £90k

Red 1951 Mercury Custom £150k

Orange Pontiac £50k 

Despite his ostentatious ways, Danny says he is a good person with a kind-heart who is just enjoying life.

And having grown up in a normal household, says he knows the value of money and is just enjoying some harmless fun.

'I'm not going to hide my wealth, I don't know why I should. I've worked hard for this. I wasn't born with a silver shoe, so why not flash it?

'I became a millionaire when I was 22 and I'm the type of person that if I have money I'll spend it.

'I'm not going to take it to the grave with me.

'When I'm dead and dusted I'll leave what I have left to charities, friends and family, but while I'm still here I'm going to spend it.'

Danny, who owns a £100k Chopard watch, says he is well-liked by the established wealth in London, in spite of his flash ways.

He grew up in a normal household with one brother and two sisters in Croydon, south London.

Both his parents were teachers who encouraged him to get a full and rounded education - but Danny says he aspired to be something brighter and bolder.

'We weren't working class. Both my parents were teachers so we had a teacher salary, which wasn't the best,' said the father-of-one, whose two-year-old son lives with his ex in Moscow, Russia.

'We had a reasonable house. It wasn't anything grand but, you know, my father couldn't afford to give me a Lamborghini like I could for my son.'

The self-confessed daydreamer left school aged 16 without any qualifications - thanks in part to a chance encounter with a Japanese music producer.

'People do stereotype playboys. People will say, 'oh look, he's flash' but I know I've got a good heart and I share my happiness.'

Despite approaching his forties, Danny is in no rush to find a full-time Mrs Lambo and is planning to remain Britain's flashiest playboy for several more years to come.

'I think the most important thing in life is to be happy, whether that's with money or without money. If I lost it all tomorrow I would find something else that makes me happy. Today, it's money, tomorrow it could be a woman or another career.

'One day maybe I'll settle down if I find the right woman but until then - why not be a playboy?'

'We were offered a record deal and so I literally walked out of school before my final exams and headmaster said: 'Hey, Danny where are you going?'.

'I said, 'I'm going to Japan to become a pop star'. He replied 'you're going to fail in life'.

'I told him to get lost and we walked out and went to Japan.'

Over the next four years, Danny toured girls' schools and other venues in Asia, Australia and New Zealand, living out of a suitcase and spending most of his time rehearsing and performing or living in hotels.

When the band finished, Danny was forced to turn to the one thing he did know after several years on the road.

'The hotel kind of became my world outside of the music,' said Danny, who was the lead singer in the group called Jealous.

'For 21 hours of the day we'd just be hanging out in the hotels. It was all I knew. My best mate would be the concierge and I'd be dating the chambermaids.

'So when I got out of the music industry when I was 21, having sent every penny I'd saved back home, the only thing I knew how to do was run a hotel.

'I didn't have any qualifications but I could make a bed with my eyes shut, I knew how the concierge ran and I knew how the reception ran.'

On his return he bought a 30-room B&B in Paddington and with the help of his interior-designer older sister converted it into The Pavilion hotel - and it soon became a celebrity hotspot.

'We had all the big bands staying with us like Morrissey, Duran Duran, Pete Doherty. And, of course, where the rock stars go, the fashion models follow.

'So we had Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss come in and all the supermodels of the time would come for photo-shoots.'

The hotel later became known as The Pavilion Fashion Rock 'n' Roll Hotel due to its themed rooms and celebrity clientele.

This success was then followed by more hotels and property investments, which make up the bulk of his £25m wealth.
