Rich list suggests UK richest seeing funds recovering
 

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:

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...

I hear pawn shops usually profit a lot during recessions

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

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

and the rich get richer...

I should be but I've half my fortune registered in the wifes name :03:

If the rich wife is called a Dame... Is the poor husband called a "Damit" ? :p2:

You mean in the wives names?:har:

You naughty little boy.:03: You piss of one of 'em, she might seize your aeroplane collection.:o

Then she'd have nothing to sleep on :DL

Well, as long as you can get 2 out 3 wives to approve of your airplane model purchase, you're okay.

I can see it now, Parlament in the Buna household.:hmmm::03:

Lord Buna motions for the purchase of a new Corgi Spitfire, how does Parlament vote?

Jane: Nay, you already have one of that model.
Eleanor:Nay, you never buy me anything nice!
Mildred: Nay, You broke the last one I bought you playing with it(the aeroplane):03: in the bathtub.

Parlament decline the purchase of the new spitfire yays=0 nays=3; Jim sleeps on the couch.
