Rich kid who flew to school in helicopter and left in Ferrari expelled for cheating

The teenage son of a tycoon worth £160 million learned the hard way money can't buy everything - when he was booted out of his final exams for cheating.

Swaggering Victor Micula, 18, turned up for the exam resit in a black £160,000 Ferrari, boasting to local reporters in Oradea, western Romania, that he was "confident and well prepared."

The Ferrari was then driven off by a minder, but just an hour later a scowling Micula emerged, and he dashed into a waiting Mercedes S class limo, refusing to say a word.

But the reason for his fury emerged days later when the results of the test posted on the school noticeboard revealed he had been removed from the exam for cheating.

But, he is still young. There is still hope.

Let's hope he matures and grows up to be of service to his family and his country. I can think of people who did that.

I need help here. I read the article and sure he is a spoiled brat, but it does not explain what he did wrong. Cheat? Was it a crib sheet? Arriving in a Farrari? What? Very unfinished story.

'micula' appears to be Romanian for 'bush'.
