East Midlands Tycoons Top UK Rich List
Description
The latest Sports Direct boss, Mike Ashley, tops the East Midlands wealthiest, with a fortune surging to £3.437 billion. Derbyshires John Bloor follows at £3.11 billion, while Tony Langley of Langley Holdings rounds out the top three at £2.144 billion. Nationally, the list shrank, with foreign billionaires leaving and Brits heading overseas, potentially impacting jobs and taxes. Other regional risers include the Duke of Devonshire, the Kirkland family, housebuilder David Wilson, and Dr. Martens developers Stephen Griggs and family. In the under-forty crowd, Leicesters Nizam Bata leads at £120 million. The minimum wealth to make the list dipped to £340 million, reflecting subdued gains from AI, crypto, and everyday goods.
