Paul McKenna makes himself rich - and moves to Hollywood

The British hypnotist has bought a £3.4 million home in the Hollywood Hills in a bid to conquer the US market.

He has already helped comedian Ellen DeGeneres to quit her smoking habit and is known to be a friend of the now-established Beckhams.

A builder's son from Enfield, North London he still has an eye for a bargain and bought the Regency-style home for half a million pounds less than the original asking price.

The impressive home is located in an area known as Rising Glen and with 4,529 sq feet of space, five bedrooms, four bathrooms and a pool he will certainly be able to entertain his wealthy neighbours who include actress Brittany Murphy and a slew of film directors and music producers.

The 4-car detached garage will perfectly house his collection of cars which include a Bentley Arnage, Ferrari 575, Range Rover Sport and a Jeep wagon Back in the UK McKenna has treated high profile British names such as the Duchess of York, David Bowie, David Beckham, and George Michael.

In September last year he brought out a book called I Can Make You Rich after talking to successful entrepreneurs such as Sir Philip Green and Body Shop founder Anita Roddick.

Until the 1990s McKenna worked as a radio DJ for Capital Radio, and Radio One among others before leaving to concentrate on hypnosis.
