With that, Sir Elton John. 10 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: Really well, we've got eight hundred of them in England, 11 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,480 Speaker 1: but I don't know why they don't come to Australia. 12 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 2: How do you become a lord? How did you become 13 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 2: a lord? 14 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: Gordon Brown? The Prime Minister made me a lord for business, 15 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: you know, generally to become a business czar to assess 16 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: small businesses. Yeah, in the UK, because I read about you. 17 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 3: You started off selling aerials for cars, radio aerials for cars. 18 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 3: Now you're a billionaire Lord. How do I get some 19 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 3: of this action? How do I get to that? 20 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 2: What happens in the middle bit? 21 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: Well, my uncle died and left me five hundred million pounds? 22 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: That was it? Really? Is that true? That was it? No? 23 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,639 Speaker 1: Is that joke? I share the British humor. 24 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, so comedy is not your bag, but that you're 25 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 3: a being there, so that's good. 26 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. 27 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 2: So you didn't know any of the celebrities coming into this. 28 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 2: Did that make it easier for you or how different 29 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 2: was that? 30 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: No? I think it was actually actually it was an asset. 31 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: Now I'll tell you for why, because the thing is 32 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: is that if someone comes in to do the Celebrity 33 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: Apprentice and they are in awe of the so called 34 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: celebrities and a little cautious or not wishing to upset them, 35 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: or always always admired them and always loved them, I 36 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: didn't have a bloody clue any of them were right, 37 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: which kind of helped me really in the sense that 38 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,959 Speaker 1: this process is all about working on their business acumen 39 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: to see how much money they can raise for charity. 40 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: That's what it was all about. So there was no 41 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: favorites as far as I was concerned. Everybody was judged independently, individually, 42 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: and so it was somewhat of a Yeah, it was 43 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 1: an advantage. Apart from Ross Noble, of course, and now 44 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: I knew of him and I wondered what he was 45 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,399 Speaker 1: doing in Australia. I thought he was on I thought 46 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: he was on witness protection. But anyway, so. 47 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 3: Who would you be in Rosay? For example, Prince Harry 48 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 3: is one of your apprentices. Would you sack him or 49 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 3: would you keep him on? 50 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 1: Well, poor old Harry, I mean he's been getting a 51 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: lot of stick. I think he's a very nice, charming 52 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: young man. And let me leave it at that. I 53 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: don't want to be talking about his wife. 54 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 3: To be honest with him, Sure, sure, but say you 55 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 3: would you sack him or just would you have him 56 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 3: stick around? 57 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: Now? Why would I sack him? I don't know whether 58 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 1: he'd come on to my show? What would he I mean? 59 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: I mean he's been in the Nave, always been in 60 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: the Army, he's been in the Air Force. So he's 61 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: obviously a resourceful chap. He's quite fit. So it depends 62 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: if he would if he would have passed, or the 63 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: all the issues that we put in front of these 64 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: people to make him actually raise some money. Could imagine 65 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: he raised a lot of money. Very much doubt, very 66 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: much doubt he would come on. 67 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 3: You became a billionaire in twenty fifteen. When you became 68 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 3: a billionaire, does someone say, hey, Lord Allan, you are 69 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 3: now a billionaire. Do you get like something from the bank, 70 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 3: Does something cool happen? What goes on there? 71 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: No? No, no, not really no. No, you don't get 72 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: a billionaire's badge. No. And the thing is, of course, 73 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: there's a list published by the Sunday Times in England 74 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: about some of these people that are supposed to be 75 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: billionaires or whatever. And I think you have to take 76 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: a little bit of it, of a pinch of salt, 77 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: because my gauge on people is and I said this 78 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: once to Piers Morgan when he was when he's comparing 79 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: me to Donald Trump. I said to them, well, look 80 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: I'll challenge Trump. I can write a checkout for one 81 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: hundred million pounds and it will get paid. Can he 82 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: do that? See? People talk about their wealth, but you 83 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,359 Speaker 1: know what is their wealth? It's their wealth. There is 84 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: their opinion on some of the assets that they think 85 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: they own, you know. So no, certainly I'm a billionaire 86 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: when it comes to Japanese yen, there's no question of that. 87 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: Maybe even a billionaire with Australian dollars and possibly you know, 88 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: a billionaire in US dollars, maybe in the UK. I'm 89 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: not quite there yet. 90 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm like a millionaire in Bali. Like with Rupiah, 91 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 3: I do very much. You think you track back, I 92 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 3: can't walk the streets. 93 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: About makes you feel good? Feel it does? 94 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 3: It does well, Lord Alan Sugar, thank you for being 95 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 3: our first Lord.
