Rich list suggests UK richest seeing funds recovering

[Gerald]

The UK's wealthiest people have rebounded from the recession increasing their worth by 18% in the past year, the Sunday Times Rich List says.

The economic crisis wiped £155bn from collective wealth of the 1,000 richest people in 2009, but they are now worth £395.8bn, according to the survey.

The number of billionaires in the UK now stands at 73 - up from 53.

It includes its first self-made woman billionaire, Specsavers' Dame Mary Perkins.

The 67-year-old is worth - along with husband Douglas and their family - £1.15bn, a 42% increase from last year.

There are now 108 women among the 1,000 richest - the first time the proportion has surpassed 10%.

Jim, are you on this list, :hmmm:

[Armistead]

One thing good about a recession, if you're rich, you can usually get much richer.

It's actually a good time to build, buy property, get work done on your house, etc...

[the_tyrant]

I hear pawn shops usually profit a lot during recessions

[Gerald]

Yes they live in people's difficulties, some of cockroaches.

[STEED]

The country would have to go under for them to feel it, just. :rolleyes:

That one big fleet carrier you got.

[krashkart]

That is the handiest bed I've ever seen. Would be perfect for a studio apartment. :)

[nikimcbee]

So you keep the body underthe aeroplanes:haha::03:.

sweet jeebus, do you buy/sell them or just collect them? My "ex" blew a gasket one time when I bought a buch of napoleonic figures to build and a pewter cannon.:shifty:
