I work in that line of business and I've always used: 'High Net Worth' is >USD 5M. 'Ultra High Net Worth' is >USD 25M. As I said, not exciting but I'd probably guess Al Qadi is still UHNW.

Your fans were calling him a billionaire within seconds of the takeover, even before the news conference. After the conference it exploded and everyone got carried away, BEP as ever included in their news story forum gossip as fact and Radio Bristol picked up on that article. Then like a badly researched Associated press/ Reuters news bulletin everyone started rewriting the same article with the same errors, the whole time your forums continued to say he was a billionaire and adding to the confusion. Ironically, within minutes on this forum you could already see people questioning his wealth, and starting to do research (that none of the papers did) we came up with his true wealth before the papers and whilst you were all saying you were now one of the richest clubs in the UK/World - one of your own forum moderators was getting so carried away that I couldn't stop laughing at all the things he was coming out with.

Is it that you have a new owner who's worth a few bob? So have we. Is it that you have planning permission for a new stadium*.?? Ours is almost finished. Trips to places like Dagenham, Newport, Accrington?? No, I'm struggling to get what the bottom dwellers think we are jealous of. * I believe it's 5 years in July since Piggs announced details of the UWE stadium. As I recall at the time, Dancing Danny, Pepsi and several other of your deluded few were predicting you'd have left us trailing in your wake by now. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
