Young millionaire's £100,000 Audi vandalised with VERY rude graffiti - but he's not fussed

A young millionaire businessman was "gutted" when vandals covered his £100,000 car in x-rated graffiti - but he shrugged it off and boasted about making “thousands in his sleep”.

Waseem Khan made his fortune trading crypto currency and had left his Audi R8 in Leeds overnight while he was at a meeting in Manchester.

When he got back the next day he found someone had covered his motor in various insults in black spray paint.

Waseem, 20, said: “It just shows, even if you are doing something good in life, there is a lot of hate.

“I don’t really have any enemies, I think a lot of people just can’t see someone young, do good, you know I have a supercar at 20, they can’t put up with it.

“I left town last night, around 11, 12ish. I got called for a business meeting, they said they were gonna pick me up and go to Manchester, so I left my car in the city centre.

“I didn’t think about where I had parked it, came home this afternoon, and I went to get my car and it has been fully vandalised, and I thought it is definitely someone that knows me or something.

“It’s not much of a loss for me, I make £6-7,000 in my sleep.”

The graffiti calls Waseem a show-off and a virgin as well as telling him to die.

Several offensive words were also painted on the car.

Waseem, known as WasKhan online, has more than 80,000 followers across several platforms and millions of views on TikTok.

He added he wanted to warn people of the dangers of being popular on social media.

He said: “I saw it and I was gutted, I thought I could take it off, I took it to the car wash and it was not coming off, that is when I started worrying that it needed a paint job or a new wrap sheet.

“It’s not going to phase me, they did it when I wasn’t there, if I was there I don’t think they would have had the urge to do anything like that.

“The dangers of being on social media is you attract a lot of good people and a lot of bad people.

“I would like the person that did it, to come forward. I would just like to say to them, what you have done is very low and pathetic and childish, you just cannot see someone young doing well, it is just pathetic.

“They could be following their own dreams instead of destroying someone else's.”
