Inside the home of the entrepreneur behind Poundland
  • Steve Smith, the man who founded Poundland, lives in a 13-bedroom Shropshire mansion - which has its own pub and snooker room as well as an indoor pool, a dining room that easily sits 18, and an entrance hall that's as big as most London flats.

  • The clever businessman opened his first Poundland in 1990 in Burton upon Trent. He sold his share of the business in 2002 for £50million and bought his luxury home.

  • The property is one of three owned by Smith - with another in Florida and the third in Majorca.

  • Mr Smith's luxurious home is a big step up from his modest background. 

  • Smith, 51, is now living the life of luxury in his decadent living room which has its own jukebox.

  • Despite having enough money in the bank to retire, Mr Smith didn't want to stop working just yet.

  • Smith is now working on an online pound shop called poundshop.com. Like the stores themselves, it will sell everything from food and drink to stationery, tools, party-ware and home and beauty.
  • Smith is convinced he can carve out a niche through sourcing different products and pricing them all at £1.
