A fun little new book has come out about the richest 250 Britons ever.
He heads a list of 250 people in a new book, The Richest of the Rich, by Philip Beresford, who compiles the Rich List, and Bill Rubinstein, a professor of history at Aberystwyth University. The list excludes monarchs. Their study stretches back to the Norman conquest of 1066 and includes medieval barons, moneylenders and monks as well as modern-day billionaires. Mittal just scrapes into the top 20 at number 20; Abramovich is at number 59 with £10.8 billion, a few ducats behind Cardinal.
