Alan Michael Sugar, Baron Sugar is an English business magnate, media personality, and political advisor. According to the Sunday Times Rich List 2015, Sugar has joined the “billionaire’s club" with an estimated fortune of £1.4bn, and is ranked as the 101st richest person in the UK. In 2007, he sold his remaining interest in the consumer electronics company Amstrad, his largest and best-known business venture.
ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. It has been established for 189 years, aiming to promote debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.
Don't get why people are so surprised at the stupid questions, just because you're academic doesn't mean you're a general all rounder or wise at life. Look at Lord Sugar, dropped out of school but he's an incredibly smart man
Very refreshing to listen to someone who is nothing like they are on TV. He's extremely calculated and precise, has a vast wealth of knowledge not just about business and a very open mind. Thoroughly enjoyed the talk with him.
Tax Dodger, total hypocrite
Kind of a shame as getting an hour to interview Alan Sugar you'd think there is a lot more of interest than just The Apprentice, glad Alan picked up on this and changed the subject early on. The interviewer in this situation doesn't deserve to hold this interview his questions where dry and clearly did no research. To bring politics and Tinder into this Q&A is a bit embarrassing considering all the amazing topics you could go through.
Seriously I can't believe some of the really childish and petty questions. Alan Sugar was inspirational direct and clear as always.
He's a great guy. He talks sense and he's witty with it. If every British politician was as decent as him we'd all be better off for it. Now, if Trump can be the president of the USA surely Sugar can be the Prime Minister of the UK.
Very clever well balanced man before this footage I found him hard to listen to because of tv but take my hat of to him and hope he can inspire many young people into his way of thinking , more so weekend time was family time and admire him for that
Alan Sugar always gives good clear advice. He is a man worth listening to for tips on how to apply yourself. My only gripe with this session is nobody asked him a question about the property business.
Yeah and dodging taxes
He is like a rich version of Sid James
Hahaha in the style of u know
but sid james was talented and loveable
Great isn’t it...
Ha!! Love it!😂💢
Had the same thought years ago. I remember seeing Sid James in a comedy play called ‘The Mating Game’ in a Blackpool theatre when I was a kid.
Very smart man. The host asked some stupid questions though
Yeah really did not expand anything either ask for dates or specifics... terrible host
Impressend by his honestly and his hard work
If Alan Sugar shouted at me I would feel crushed. If Donald Trump shouted at me I would laugh.
I can see what you're saying...
John Bush All to do with respect I guess
I'd laugh at either to be honest, he knows how to make money but beyond that.
Sure, makes sense, Alan Sugar has a brain and a heart--he's a person. Trump, I don't know what Trump is.
meanwhile Sugar is a billionaire loudmouth of the UK (a 3rd rate power) while laughable Trump is the president of the world's lone superpower....hmmmm....keep making fun
Lord Sugar's explanation of the experience of members of the House of Lords is the very reason we should consider increasing its role. It contrasts well with the House of Commons whose members are mostly wannabes.
I would like to see an elected House of Lords
Well done for being open for comments thanks 🍒
I worked for Alan for 7 years. He’s a real character that’s for sure.
Induxvideos it’s always some moron who’s never actually met him that has that impression of him.. grow up you salty wanka
Induxvideos lol grow up you jealous loser. Stick to your UFO videos lmao.
Induxvideos lol what an angry little man you are
@Induxvideos No i get it, you've got some weird thing about lord. Just don't get why it makes you so angry lol.
If you had a doctorates degree, would you want to be addressed as dr? It is very similar to that, unless you didn’t earn the title Lord. He definitely did.
a nice easy interview for mr sugar.lightly entertaining
Allen Sugar ,is of the old school, he is shred, a hard worker for himself which is good , but not oxford educated, but a honest man
That has worked his way up the hard way ,through graft and perseverance .
God bless you hedgehog person.
Hedgehog? What do you mean?
I met Lord Sugar many years ago at an exhibition at Alexandra Palace and have such respect for his work ethic. He doesn't suffer fools - but neither do I.
Any old iron any old iron my old man's a dustman and knees up mother brown. Alan the spiv has some right old dodgy crap to sell you and no mistake.
I imagine that people who are proud that they 'don't suffer fools', are afraid of looking foolish themselves, so try and dominate, control and diminish others, before they can be made to look foolish.
Lord Sugar, I made The Apprentice better, and he did.
@30:00 Please correct me if I am wrong… as I recall from an interview with Alan Sugar many years ago, his involvement with Sky TV was that he won the contract to build the satellite dishes. He managed to find a contractor that could make the metal dish at a very competitive rate… that contractor manufactured dustbin lids. Where there’s muck there’s money.
You are the best man on the world!!! no, no... of the Universe! AMSTRAD ❤❤❤❤
His deflective answers on The Apprentice prove, to me at least, that the show is set up to some degree to include a couple of candidates who are good-for-TV and nothing else.
Gareth M I agree, I’m going to be taking business studies soon but I know I could do better than 3/4s of the candidates at the very least
It makes good tv an he makes more money it’s just another job to him but he is a clever man and well balanced
I hope they listened and followed such Good advice...... he has risen now so high in my estimation..... !
Lord sugar was waiting to shake his hand in the end but the guy never reached out he just made a jester like "right get up its time to go"
I thought that too, haha!
‘gesture’
Lord Sugar
Empolyees, are ever more vulnerable now than before.
Alan Sugar certainly knows his stuff. How come there is an underlying uneasiness about this interview?
Some people don't feel comfortable doing interviews I get that but this doesn't make him a bad or indifferent
@@juliansimmonds4912 I am not saying he is bad or indifferent btw...
Alan Sugar’s always come across a bit like he has a chip on his shoulder. Constantly refers to his working class background which suggests that he feels a bit like he doesn’t fit in around people he might think of as old money or privileged, which a lot of Oxford is
I wish someone had asked him his thoughts on Philip Green.
Hope Amstrad comes up in this!
very enlighting :)
the 'you're fired' thing i can totally relate to. my name is Alexa and i was born way before this became popular, you think you're the first to make an Amazon joke, you think I have not heard it all? come up with a new and funny bit, i dare you! i am sure he feels the same way.
I loved this bloke in the carry on films
He is so cool.
What an incredible example in life!
Thank you for the inspiration.
He's an impressive guy!
+RocCity Plowing & Lawncare your easily impressed
mcrayfourd your and idiot
on the contrary turbin head I was preparing my self to forgive you
+mcrayfourd and here we have a WASTEMAN
5:55 Whoa the passive aggressiveness
Oxford students asking 3rd tier university type dumb questions
young people on the doull, untapped potential, people with brilliant ideas that get beaten to the mark. how can we sort out the employment rules to improve the quality of life in the UK on a community basis?
Huge respect for M'lud Sugar. To go from Barrow boy to Peer of the Realm. A lesson for for all young people on how to succeed.
I like how he stopped listing the winners before he reached Stella
Lord Sugar saving the nation from Piers Morgan's bullshit.
alan is a legend, pers still looks down on him, snob prick, alan came from the poorest area in London, to one of the richest men, its not about money, its about the sale....
Question to Lord sugar, Lord Sugar what do you think about sugar Tax, ANSWER Lord Sugar,why are they picking on me,what about Google Tax ,Starbucks Tax and Ebay Tax
edward french wow. Great joke I am lol’ing my knickers off
Knickers are now off
Lord Sugar is a better version of Donald Trump,less selfish and less aragont
Finnigan 204 cos Lord sugar knows hard work he was never born with a silver spoon
Trump is clueless in virtually everything. His money was inherited and blew it so many times
What is that dangling from Lord Sugar's shoes... Is it a mic?
Top guy....no silver spoon either..!
And Silver Spoon is a brand of sugar.
could anyone tell me the name of the watch he is wearing in this please!?
'Harry'
Well done Fred
Alan Sugar, Is Quilty, He Is Always Hontest U Chould Lot Of Life Lessons Of Him,
He’s always entertaining
Lord Sugar's, brand new sock or shoe or pant (Right Leg) tag is dangling, I'm surprised no one from crew pointed it out.
this was a really weird interview haha
Smart, honest man. Can’t say the same of the rest
sugar loves his play boy magazines but the ring is lined on the shelf.
Only clicked it bcs it feels utterly compelling seeing Tywin Lannister prfct health in power and unable to do a notch vs powers waaay above.
Lord Gammon, Sir Alan Ham
That clown clegg, fantastic
Sid James brother?
Stupid question about why apprentices only there for 2-3 years. Good bosses know if your best employees can do better outside, you have to let them go and they will never go to your competitors because they will be giving them the same opportunities (unless they become one by starting up themselves). This is how you expand and sustain your business networks.
What did Piers Morgan say at around 3:02? "You might have seen he responded saying I suspect that's a little...." What's the word there?
"I suspect that's as full as it'll get."
@@londontrada thank you mate
Redundancy? I guess he hasn't worked for an agency in a while. "You're fired" by SMS.
too true. not to mention zero hour contracts. employees are not as safe as he was eluding to.
Corbyn was never anti business. But he was for rewarding the people who make the stuff which makes the likes of Sugar wealthy. Comparing him to Scargill is disingenuine. Never has there been such a gap between the rich and poor. Where are we all now with the strikes and inflation. If Corbyn had become PM the likes of Sugar would have said I told you so.
He still has a price tag on his boot.
What is dangling from Sugar's Shoe?
a bag of tea
i know just Brown Sugar!
Marching out the world to take its territories from the Wadi of Egyst to the Euphrates River 🍒.. from me the queen of love 🍒
Alan sugar is all about money only. He does care about what happens to the country. He is ok whatever the eu referendum outcome is.
I enjoyed this
Is it me or did he not take the price tag off his shoes 8.47
Hahaha wth! There is!
who cares
genius, shame, wasted on pampered children
I remember the days when he was bankrupt and his crappy Amstrad computers never worked properly
AS: “I wasn’t blueyed”
Some of the smartest minds in our generation: “hahahaha”
Alan - Yeah some of my best friends are women…. Like the Yes Minister episode
TRUST ME AND THEY WONT GOMISSING
And, am I right, this guy would like to have the old times bag.
+Hans Franz what would be in there?
Shuger Daddy
He is Alan Lord Sugar not 'Lord Alan Sugar' Think Alfred Lord Tenyyson. It's pretty poor that the Oxford Union would make this mistake.
You asked him about Tinder? What
HEY LORD FITZROY THIS LOOK LIKE DIANA I THINK
He is so tunnel visioned to a fault, whereas he can only focus on the things that directly effect him. His level of empathy is so low he doesnt even remember influential figures names... Goes to show his thinking if you were working for him, its not about you, or your kids - the second you become useless to him you'd be gone. A tough character... interesting to listen to, but would I ever want to meet him... probably not.
The host shook his hand at the start and did not at the end very rude after sharing his experience which tells me he is a Tory fecker
What a bunch of rude clowns trying to ask him so many derisory questions.
This guy is a one hit wonder. He was there at the right time and executed well with the Armstrad home computer. Apart from that he did not accomplish much.
That's complete nonsense!
You can't have been listening at all!!
He explained how his initial Amstrad Business virtually collapsed & he had to rebuild many different business ideas
. This Q&A didn't even mentioned his huge Property success!!
In fact I'm not sure if you even watched this at all 😂
I was going to watch this but then I realized that they got Alan Sugar's title wrong. He is either Alan Sugar, Baron (Lord) Sugar or The Baron (Lord) Suger. This is Oxford, there the british created there the system and don't understand it. They are a joke.
Only the ones who work for him whom does not need union representation as he does not employ doctors and nurses.

U Can Be Famous On U Tube Thease Days,
27.30.... you would have to.
36:30 He is full of shit right here. This is a classic mistake that either the super rich believe, or some academic people or middle class people that do not actually live in that situation. He claims that people in Britain simply 'do not want these jobs' and therefore it is done by foreigners because we are all to lazy. That is simply full of shit. He claims British people think it is not cool 'carrying a load of bricks'. Well excuse me, not everyone wants to sit in an office and some of us like doing things which are physical. I also work super hard and I am one of those people who 'carry bricks'. However, it is not that the British are lazy but the fact that many Polish went in the building trade and worked for next to nothing. Many came here and stayed with like 7 to a room and saved a tiny bit of money. They then took that money back to Poland where it was worth much more. A classic case of the failed EU ideology where you can't apply things like the same interest rates to two completely different countries and economies. Anyway, the Middle Class or rich like it because they can pay workers less. However, that puts British people out of jobs. I went to a guy I met who started his company and he wanted me to work for 10 hours for £30. Now Sugar thinks I am being lazy not accepting that. Really? The guy then said he just gets such cheap labour with the Polish. Just another case where Sugar thinks he is right but is living in a bubble.
Ouch man and that is the main work issue in business, be it in the building trade or any other form of trade. Another company or another group of people come in and offer the very same service/product at a much lower rate than what the normal 'trusted' 'allocated' companies are offering and all of a sudden your forced out of business as who the hell would pay someone more for the very same quality job at a lower price.
The polish who clean the cars near where I live do a very impressive job on my car for £10 inside and out, and everything looks brand new. IF I went to another smaller uk car cleaning firm THAT same job would be about £25 as I've checked so it's not polish peoples fault.
dude, understand britian is being systemically destroyed, you the british are being demographically replaced, this is the neo liberal global state agenda hard at work to undermine a population.
I do agree, shamefully that he stated english people dont want the work, but also a slither of truth, most english people feel more than low wages, they are pampered and spoilt in general. but this is a complicated subject, however the reasons things are this way are due to a hidden hand. i encourage you to look into demographic replacement, u seem to be on the right track . god bless
I would have asked him "did your Jewishness, having been born a Jews, make you proud of Israel's achievements or disapprove of how Israel has treated the Palestinians?
This is a business meeting with Oxfor union. Not hamas v Israel. Clear off with your propofanda. Nobody cares
are barrow boys allowed in to Oxford,does he wash.
Don't be silly Barrow boys is what Oxford needs to be lectured by - surely they can learn nothing from the Duke of Westminster or the duke of Devon.
What's your point. Who stated Oxford was for just rich. Your jealousy shows. He is successful. And it shows.
is he a cartoon?
I think he needs to buy a sense of humour with his billions.
He is a very funny & entertaining guy
Unlike Trump, Lord Alan Sugar actually MADE his fortune. Daddy didn't leave it to him.
By copying Trump's TV programme.
He had a fortune before that with Amstrad and still does with his holding company Amshold, which oversees his other companies, Not to mention his property firm.
What's hanging off the sole of his shoe?
it's just a light shadow
Money!
people in Poland, Slowakia etc. they did not become "european" by joining EU, these areas are and were always european... Europe is a continent, going as far as up to Ural, as the european supcontinent of Eurasia. would be verry nice if people could use the terms EU, european and Europe precicely.
Do you know where I put the Tattinger in the 🏠...🤷
who's the girl @27 minutes in hottie
Jumped up barrow boy !
He loves , indeed demands people call him Lord , what a complete ladies front garden.
You really show your thick uneducated view. He may be a barrow boy to you but he worked hard for it. Have you made it as tough as he had to you absolute pleb.
He didn't like the MC. To state the obvious...
Alan Sugar spews the same right-wing talking points as Ronald Reagan. Greed is good. Millionaires are so oppressed. The merchant prince deserves admiration and praise. No wealthy person/corporation pays the going tax rate. That's why they have accountants, barristers, and off-shore tax havens like Jersey -- where Sugar likes to fly his private jet. He made money the old-fashioned way: taking the lion's share of the profits generated by the labor of his workers.
Get Tommy Robinson on. 😂😂
He's already been on.
Wtf was that shouting?
