    Worth noting that Bernie Ecclestone is only on the list as he got caught fiddling his taxes & so had to pay a fine of £650 million.

    Gotta love Bernie.

    The other surprise is how many of those 10 invest in the High Street.

    We are always told that it's impossible to make a profit there. Not so-for some, at least.

    I didn't know until this came out that he named the pub chain after a tea total teacher who told him he would never come to anything.

    About the only thing faintly amusing about the chap IMHO.
