British Entrepreneur ZakPFX Builds Dubai-Based Financial Education Community

Nov 3, 2026

Milton Keynes, United Kingdom, November 3, 2026 -- At just 15 years old, Zak Phillips was kicked out of Ousedale School in Milton Keynes, England. Four years later, the British entrepreneur known online as ZakPFX says he had become a self-made millionaire, having moved to the United Arab Emirates at just 18.

Today, his life looks very different from the one he left behind. From luxury cars to high-rise living, Zak shares glimpses of a lifestyle that once seemed out of reach.

But his biggest ambition now isn’t buying another supercar or reaching another financial milestone.

It’s helping people who feel lost, financially overwhelmed or written off by society discover that they still have opportunities, without charging them to get started.

And looking further ahead, Zak has set himself another ambitious target: within the next 10 years, he wants to own and operate his own hotels and residential properties, building a long-term business presence in the hospitality and real estate industries.

From Being Kicked Out of School to Building His Own Future

Growing up in Milton Keynes, Zak didn’t follow the conventional route to success.

At 15, he was expelled from Ousedale School, an experience that could have made his future feel uncertain.

Instead of allowing that setback to define him, he began looking for opportunities outside traditional education.

With no university degree or conventional career path behind him, Zak pursued entrepreneurship independently, learning through his own experiences and working towards financial independence.

At 18, he took another major step, leaving the UK and relocating to the UAE to pursue bigger ambitions.

By 19, Zak says he had achieved millionaire status.

His journey, he believes, is proof that struggling in school doesn’t mean someone is destined to struggle in life.

From Personal Success to Helping Others

While luxury cars, impressive properties and an ambitious lifestyle have helped Zak attract attention online, he says his priorities are now shifting.

He wants to reach people who feel as though they have nowhere left to turn.

Whether that’s a teenager struggling with education, someone working a job they hate, or an adult facing financial difficulties, Zak wants his story to show that change is possible.

“I was kicked out of school at 15 in Milton Keynes. At that point, nobody could have predicted where I’d be four years later,” Zak says.

“I moved to the UAE at 18, and by 19 my life had completely changed. Now I want to use what I’ve learned to help people who are struggling and don’t know where to start.”

Creating Free Opportunities for People Who Need Them

One of Zak’s biggest goals is to make information and educational resources accessible to people regardless of their financial circumstances.

Through his growing online community, he introduces followers to resources, independent specialists and opportunities they may not previously have known existed.

Most importantly, he wants people to be able to join and explore these resources for free.

He believes that people who are already struggling financially shouldn’t face another expensive barrier simply to begin learning.

Rather than promising overnight success, Zak encourages people to educate themselves, ask questions and make informed decisions about their future.

His own achievements and experiences form part of the story he shares, although he acknowledges that individual outcomes differ and no results can be guaranteed.

“I Want to Be Known for Changing Lives, Not Just Driving Nice Cars”

For Zak, the next stage of his journey is about creating a positive impact.

Having experienced rejection from the traditional education system, he believes there are many talented and ambitious people who simply haven’t found the right direction.

He wants his platform to become somewhere those people can find encouragement, accessible information and a community that supports their ambitions.

“I don’t want people to just look at my cars or where I live,” Zak explains.

“I want someone who’s having the worst time of their life to see my story and realise that things can change. You don’t have to have everything figured out at 15, 18 or even 40.”

While his journey began in Milton Keynes and eventually took him to the UAE, Zak says the message is relevant to people everywhere.

A Bigger Vision: Owning Hotels and Residences Within 10 Years

Despite what he says he has already achieved at a young age, Zak has no intention of stopping.

Over the next decade, he plans to expand beyond his current entrepreneurial activities and establish himself in the hospitality and property industries.

His long-term ambition is to own and operate hotels and residential developments, creating businesses and properties that can grow for years to come.

Rather than focusing solely on personal wealth, Zak wants to build lasting businesses, develop valuable assets and eventually create opportunities for others through his ventures.

The ambition represents a new chapter in his entrepreneurial journey, moving from building personal financial independence towards establishing a long-term business portfolio.

For someone who was kicked out of school at 15, the idea of owning hotels and residences once might have seemed impossible.

Now, it is part of his 10-year plan.

What’s Next for ZakPFX?

At 19, Zak Phillips is focused on growing his online presence while building a community centred around helping others improve their circumstances.

Alongside his ambition to eventually own and operate hotels and residential properties, he wants to continue making educational resources and opportunities accessible to people who may not know where to begin.

From being kicked out of Ousedale School at 15 to relocating to the UAE at 18 and claiming millionaire status by 19, his journey has been anything but conventional.

And while his plans for the next decade are ambitious, Zak believes his greatest achievement would be using his success to help others change the direction of their own lives.

He was once a teenager whose future seemed uncertain. Today, he’s planning a future in hotels and real estate, while trying to open doors for people who feel their own futures are out of reach.

Rookie Lendeborg scores 37 as Warriors beat Clippers

LOS ANGELES — Rookie Yaxel Lendeborg poured in 37 points as the Golden State Warriors shrugged off the absence of Stephen Curry to beat the Los Angeles Clippers, 124-112, on Sunday (Monday in Manila). Lendeborg, who was picked 11th overall in the 2026 NBA Draft, racked up the highest points tally yet of his fledgling career while also providing six assists and grabbing four rebounds, as the Warriors snagged a fourth straight win. His 37 points were the most by a Warriors rookie in a game since Curry had 42 in 2010. Curry, now a 38-year-old veteran, had averaged 33 points over the past three games, including 44 against the Timberwolves on Wednesday, but missed Sunday’s game to manage his troublesome right knee. With Draymond Green also out, 24-year-old American-Dominican forward Lendeborg was the linchpin of a Warriors attack that has bounced back emphatically from losing its opening three games, after missing out on last season’s playoffs. “I’m gonna just continue to try to keep playing with a smile on my face. Maybe throw little dance moves like Steph in once in a while, but I’m gonna just keep trying to find my joy,” said Lendeborg. Coach Steve Kerr praised Lendeborg for adapting so quickly to the NBA. “He’s playing this way and he really doesn’t know the NBA game yet ... The game is still really fast for him. But he’s so skilled and so talented that he’s making all kinds of plays out there,” said Kerr. “I think he’s going to get a lot better ... But it’s remarkable the impact he’s making on these games in the first couple weeks of the season.” Elsewhere on Sunday, Luka Doncic racked up 45 points and 15 rebounds as the Los Angeles Lakers bested the Toronto Raptors, 131-125. The Lakers took the lead early in the first quarter and never surrendered it, even as the Raptors rallied from a 26-point deficit to create a few late nerves in Los Angeles. As Toronto’s Jamison Battle scored 15 points in the fourth quarter, Lakers coach JJ Redick was forced to sub his starters back into the game in the final minute to close out victory. The Boston Celtics racked up a fifth straight win, beating the Orlando Magic, 108-97. Celtics star Jayson Tatum led the scoring, with 32 points and seven assists. Some wayward Celtics shooting allowed a 15-point lead to evaporate in the third quarter. But Boston’s defense stayed resolute, forcing 18 turnovers for 21 points to pull clear again down the stretch. Paul George had 17 points, eight assists, two steals and two blocked shots. The Brooklyn Nets finally bagged their first win of the season, beating the Indiana Pacers, 98-90. Michael Porter Jr. top-scored for the Nets with 23 points, plus nine rebounds, as Brooklyn moved to 1-5. Their win leaves the 0-6 Sacramento Kings as the only remaining winless team in the NBA. Also on Sunday, the NBA suspended Atlanta Hawks guard Kingston Flemings for one game without pay for intentionally elbowing New Orleans Pelicans guard Bryce McGowens in the head. The incident, for which Flemings was ejected, occurred late in the Hawks’ 121-99 loss to the Pelicans on Saturday.

Carlos Alcaraz dominates 2026 Vienna Open  

VIENNA — Seven-time Grand Slam winner Carlos Alcaraz beat Alex de Minaur, 6-1, 6-4, to win the Vienna Open on Sunday and defeat his opponent for the seventh time in as many meetings. Alcaraz has beaten the Australian on grass and clay as well as on indoor and outdoor hard courts. He sealed his latest victory with trademark panache. Alcaraz drew his opponent to the net with a sliced backhand drop shot. De Minaur retrieved it but Alcaraz lobbed him with a backhand and, after the Australian volleyed that shot back near the net, clipped a cross-court forehand that landed just in. The second-seeded Spaniard looked jubilant and cracked a broad smile after clinching his fourth title this year — including the Australian Open for a career Grand Slam — and his 28th overall. The fifth-seeded de Minaur was looking for his second title of the year. He advanced to the final of the ATP 500 event with a semifinal win against Alexander Zverev, who goes top of the rankings on Monday. Alcaraz beat Daniil Medvedev in the other semi. Meanwhile, Alcaraz’s former coach Juan Carlos Ferrero is joining Ben Shelton’s coaching staff for the 2027 season. “Huge addition to my team for this upcoming season,” the 24-year-old Shelton said Sunday on social media. “Excited to get started and put in the work this offseason.” Former world No. 1 Ferrero helped guide Alcaraz to his first six major titles before their partnership ended last December. Ferrero will be joining Shelton’s father, Bryan, in the coaching setup. The fourth-ranked Shelton won a career-best four titles in 2026 and reached his first major final at the US Open, losing to Alexander Zverev. “Ben has extraordinary talent, power and character,” Ferrero said. “I’m very happy to join Bryan and the team in this exciting new chapter.”

LIONEL MESSI SENDS INTER MIAMI TO SECOND SPOT  

FOXBOROUGH, Massachusetts — Lionel Messi’s late strike catapulted Inter Miami above New England and into second place with a tense 2-1 comeback victory over their MLS Eastern Conference rivals Sunday (Monday in Manila). Messi’s typically crafty effort after scurrying through three defenders in the 83rd minute was enough to secure three points, with an own goal by his teammate Ian Fray four minutes later ruled out for a marginal offside. The 39-year-old Argentine superstar also provided an improvised assist off the back of his head for German Berterame, after Daniel Gazdag had put New England in front early in the second half. Victory sent Miami a point clear of the New England Revolution with one game left, meaning a win against Charlotte on Saturday will guarantee home advantage until the Conference Finals. It also secured Miami’s spot in next year’s Concacaf Champions Cup. “It was such an important occasion ... they’re a very tough team — really difficult — so I think it was a tremendous effort,” said Berterame. After a goalless first half, New England’s Peyton Miller slipped down the right flank to the byline in the 53rd minute. His cut-back pass was backheeled by Ilay Feingold to Gazdag, who smashed the ball home. Miami came close to equalizing soon after the hour, as Berterame followed up on a Messi effort saved by Matt Turner, only to have his shot cleared off the line by Brooklyn Raines. In the 69th minute, Telasco Segovia flicked a ball high into the box toward Messi, who was racing forward between two defenders but somehow headed it blindly off the back of his head to Berterame, who scored. Messi got on the scoresheet himself in the 83rd minute, collecting the ball just outside the D, spinning and skipping past three tackles before wrapping his left foot around the ball and sending it low into the far corner past US national team goalkeeper Turner. New England thought they had been gifted an equalizer with three minutes remaining. Fray inexplicably headed a hopeful Luca Langoni cross into his own net despite no pressure, but the New England substitute was ruled offside on video review. The Eastern Conference’s final playoff berths were also determined Sunday. Columbus Crew and Orlando City both qualified after 10th-placed New York Red Bulls lost 3-2 to runaway leaders Nashville.
