Jerseybean Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 According to the ST Rich List Steve Lansdown, who co-founded financial services firm Hargreaves Lansdown, was the fifth richest in the CI with £1.16 billion, down £11m. Jersey-based Glenn Gordon has two good reasons to raise a glass in celebration – firstly he’s the chairman of the Grant’s whisky business and secondly he and his family are the richest residents in the Channel Islands with an estimated wealth of £5.619 billion. And he perhaps may want to make it a double, as the family’s fortune increased by just over £1 billion since the 2023 list. Chris and Sarah Dawson, owners of homeware store The Range finished a relatively distant second, with £2.5 billion. Simon Nixon, the founder of price-comparison website moneysupermarket.com was the third-richest Channel Island resident, with an overall wealth of £1.88 billion – up £55m on the previous year. Guernsey’s Douglas and Dame Mary Perkins, owners of Specsavers, were fourth with £1.5 billion (up £21m). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted May 17 Admin Report Share Posted May 17 Random question but I assume this is the value of assets they have, rather than cash in the bank? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 Fair play to Chris Dawson (The Range). He took a massive gamble years ago and bought all of MFI`s stock when they went bust including ship loads of the stuff that was stuck in mid-ocean. He ploughed every penny he had (and a lot he didn`t!) into the venture and it`s good to see it pay off long term. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
