Even though Arsenal football club has refused to win any trophy in a long while, one of the owners of the club is now the richest man in Britain. Alisher Usmanov took the top spot from the previous Rich List number, one Lakshmi Mittal.
Mr Usmanov, who has a near-30% stake in Arsenal, is worth £13.3bn, putting him into the top spot of the 25th annual Sunday Times Rich List.
Researchers found the 1,000 richest people in Britain have wealth totalling almost £450bn.
There are now a record 88 billionaires among the country’s wealthiest 1,000 individuals and families, up from 77 billionaires in 2012 and just nine in 1989.
The combined wealth of the top 200 people in the 2013 Sunday Times Rich List is £318.2bn, a more than eightfold rise on the £38bn for the combined wealth of the 200 people featured in the first Rich List in 1989.
In 1989, the Queen was Britain’s richest person.
Don’t you think Arsenal needs to purchase good players now that they have the richest man to themselves?.
