Early Life
Fortune Kleous, formerly known as Fortune Oghenetega Ileleji, is of the Urhobo ethnic group from Ughelli, Delta state Nigeria.

Raised by separated parents, he was forced to learn self-sufficiency as well as adjust to the ideals and expectations of both parents. His father's strong belief in the influence of bad peer association on morals resulted in his complete isolation from other kids his age during his younger years. He saw his first computer at the age of 6 and was intensely fascinated by it. Placed on a strict routine from the age of 8, his after school hours consisted of studying school work, reading other books of interest and making his own toys whilst other children played outside.

"I was a very curious child. As soon as I got comfortable with a lot of words and expressions, I began to read every book I could find"

From making his own toys to pulling apart devices around the house and attempting to put them back together, he developed a strong interest in design that would later be the foundation of his love for architecture. At 9 years old, he had developed an insatiable hunger for reading and read every book he could find. At 13, he supervised, together with his father, the construction of their own house. He was raised primarily by his father until his death when Fortune was 14 years old.

Education
After being expelled twice; once from a local community high school in Ughelli because he disagreed strongly with the system of education in that institution and once from University, he came in contact with Rev. Deji Olabode through a friend and from speaking to him alone, a lot of his perspectives about life changed. He dropped out of Saratov State University in Russia where he was studying IT to pursue design so he moved to Milan
