Michael Platt, who runs BlueCrest Capital, is Britain’s richest hedge fund manager with a fortune of £2.1bn, up £600m on last year, according to The Sunday Times Rich List 2016 – the definitive guide to wealth in Britain and Ireland – published this weekend. Platt, who lives in Geneva, earned more than £500m from BlueCrest Capital in 2015.
The 2016 Sunday Times Rich List – the definitive guide to wealth in Britain and Ireland – was published on Sunday, April 24. The 148-page special edition of The Sunday Times Magazine is the biggest issue of the Rich List ever published since it first appeared in 1989. It charts the wealth of the 1,000 richest people in the UK and the 250 richest in Ireland. The list is based on identifiable wealth, including land, property, other assets such as art and racehorses, or significant shares in publicly quoted companies. It excludes bank accounts, to which the paper has no access.
