This 22-year-old is pretty much the envy of every guy on the planet, after he dropped out of university and become a millionaire by being absolutely amazing at online poker.
As reported by the Mirror, Charlie Carrel now enjoys a lavish lifestyle and parties around the world, just two years after he deposited a mere £10 into an online gaming account.
Now, the youngster has revealed that his earnings have hit an incredible £1.5 million, and he regularly plays at tournaments in places like Malta, Monte Carlo and Las Vegas.
However, he’s also admitted that had he not ‘got lucky’ on his first venture into the world of online betting, when he won £30, he probably would have given it up altogether.
After his initial success, Charlie – who went to university with four A* A-Levels under his belt – was inspired to quit Warwick Uni after just ten weeks, and instead moved to Jersey to live with his grandmother and concentrate on his game.
Now, he’s bringing in the big bucks and is a respected player around the world, securing his biggest win last May when he netted a whopping £806,000 at the European Poker Tournament High-Roller Grand Final event in Monte Carlo.
In September, he was also crowned Poker Listings’ Rising Star.
