Now Sugar’s made a billion
HE may have just missed out on the top 100, but Lord Sugar is unlikely to be unhappy with his lot after becoming a billionaire for the first time this year.
The 68-year-old businessman was ranked 101 in the Rich List for his £1.04billion wealth.
He was described by the Sunday Times as ‘super-boss and master of the acerbic put-down’ on The Apprentice. The BBC show first ran in 2005, with winners including Leah Totton, who triumphed in 2013, securing Lord Sugar’s backing to open a cosmetic clinic.
Lord Sugar has £700million of real estate, while net profits for Amshold, his holding company, soared to £552m in 2013-14.
