Philip Green (1952-)

He is one of the wealthiest men in Britain, placing 5th in the latest Sunday Times Rich List. He has amassed an estimated 4.85 billion pound (7.13 billion euros) fortune in the clothing business, and has become famous for spending his money extravagantly. Just this May the billionaire businessman flew more than 300 guests to an exclusive resort in the French Riviera last weekend to celebrate the bar mitzvah of his son Brandon.

Green became a millionaire at the age of 33 when he sold the Jean Jeanie chain for 3 million pounds (4.4 million euros) a year after buying it for 65,000 pounds (95,000 euros). He now owns the BHS and Arcadia clothing chains and recently purchased the British branch of Etam. The fashion mogul lives in a house in Monaco with his wife and children, Brandon and Chloe, but spends the week at a London hotel allowing him to control his ever increasing business empire.
