Sunday Times Rich List

[tiger76]

I know it's your highlight of the year so here it is.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52694459

I'll be honest i only recognise 4 of the top 10.

James Dyson being top of the rich list should trigger a few of the usual's on here

[Taffy on the wing]

Is he another who doesn't pay his fair share?

Will just be the usual hot air.

I thank you !

Watched a film last night, Steve Coogan in Greed.

The richest 26 people in the world have more wealth than the poorest 3.8 billion.

Good film by the way.

James Dyson is really rich? You’re shitting me??

The Lad Bible of UTC strikes again.

[MACCA]

Shame Mr Dyson doesn't fancy buying a northern working class town team, Burnley would be a great addition to his portfolio I think...

That's because I use a pseudonym on this Forum

It's all relative. For instance, if you have assets of £70,000+ you are in the top 10% of the worlds wealthiest. So someone in the bottom 10% would probably regard me as a rich bztd.

Don't think there is a more deserving member of that list. Used his brain to create products for us to use rather than sitting at a desk moving money around the World selling short, wrecking a country's crumbling economy like George Soros. At one stage before his designs started to take off he owed £1 mill to the banks. He has also brought employment to many around the world.He and family paid £128 million in tax in 2017-18 and his company remains (I think) listed here

I suppose one of the sad things for these mega ri h is that you can't take it with you when you go.!!!

[claret2018]

Baffling how he’s so rich. His vacuum cleaners are useless

[Blackrod]

Haven’t looked as not interested in now much wealth in monetary and asset terms others have. Has it ever been less important. I agree with the comments about Dyson though. He has done well for himself, used his brain and been innovative.I like entrepreneurism but over adulation of the numbers once it becomes obscene is not my bag.

[evensteadiereddie]

My Dyson isn't useless at all.

[claret2018]

Maybe I’ve been unlucky, but I’ve had 2 which required new batteries every year, didn’t really pick anything up and would need taking apart to stop them cutting out every few weeks

How come evensteadiereddie didn't make it to the list

[Claretforever]

The two brothers from Blackburn who own Euro Garages are both worth over £1 billion.

Another Lawrence Cotton, Jack Walker scenario in a few years? They (Rovers) do seem to find wealthy benefactors every few generations to buy them some silverware. It’s always been boom and bust with them.

You were right about the triggering, Damo. Didn't take long for the Bosstwat to crawl out, did it ?

As for not making the ST Rich List, I know but the top 10% will do me, thank you very gladly.


Glad to see your jealous, dickhead-like obsession with me is still alive and well, lads. No worrying playground fantasy this time from Bosscat,just good ol' boys unable to help themselves.The other two pricks will no doubt be along shortly.

Not weird at all.

The Issa brothers are far too sensible to invest in that

[pushpinpussy]

Dyson is the richest person in the UK. Well that sucks.

Like shelling peas Damo lad.

We could quickly hoover up some trinkets if he did.

he moved the company HQ to Singapore last year - not, he said, as a result of Brexit, of which he was a huge supporter and campaign benefactor, but to future proof the company!

Good one, lads
