Millionaire's Son Sells Trainers on eBay to Buy First Car

As of November 18th, 2025, it has been revealed that one of Andrew Lloyd Webber's children had to resort to selling a pair of trainers on eBay in order to save up and purchase their first car. The renowned composer, estimated to be worth a staggering £500 million, appears to have instilled the value of money in his five children from an early age.

This surprising revelation came from Ben Forster, a star of Webber's musical "Jesus Christ Superstar", who recalled an incident where he witnessed one of Webber's children discreetly selling items online to fund their first vehicle. Forster was taken aback, saying "I was, like, 'Andrew Lloyd Webber is your dad and you're saving for your first car!'"

Despite their father's immense wealth, it seems Webber's children have been encouraged to adopt a more frugal and self-reliant approach to their finances. This approach appears to have paid off, as the young person was able to save up and purchase their first car through their own efforts.

The article also touches on the tragic loss of Webber's eldest son, Nicholas, who passed away in 2023 at the age of 43 after a battle with gastric cancer and pneumonia. The composer was said to be "shattered" by the loss, and even received a letter of condolence from King Charles.
