Homeless man who slept on park benches becomes millionaire 

Nick Mocuta, now 37, moved to the US from Romania with nothing but £367 - a gift from his grandmother - in his pocket when he was 21.

The business graduate moved to Los Angeles without being able to speak much English and was unable to find an apartment, leaving him to sleep on benches in public parks and was barely able to feed himself. Nick is now a US citizen and has bought homes for his family thanks to the success of his e-commerce ventures.
