THE wealthiest residents in North Yorkshire have been revealed.
The Sunday Times Rich List for Yorkshire says that brothers Eddie and Malcolm Healey remain second in the list with a combined fortune of £1.648 billion. The duo hit the headlines last year after they outbid both Sir Elton John and Sir Mick Jagger to purchase a ‘flamboyant’ mansion in Pocklington.
UKIP donor and Ripon businessman Paul Sykes retains his spot as the fifth richest man in Yorkshire. Mr Sykes, who developed Sheffield’s Meadowhall shopping centre, has an estimated fortune of £770 million.
In sixth place is William Morrison and Eleanor Kernighan.
The Morrison family, who own the supermarket group as well as Murton Grange farmhouse, have reported assets of £700 million.
Technology tycoon, Peter Wilkinson, from Harrogate, is in 12th place with a reported fortune of £390 million, whilst Businessman Alan Lewis – who owns the Jacobean Sheriff Hutton Hall and made much of his fortune from the Crombie clothing company – is 15th on the list with a value of £294 million.
York’s Shepherd family are the final name on the list. The family – whose Shepherd group encompasses Portakabin – have an estimated value of £262 million.
