Retailers make it into the rich list

Last Sunday saw the release of the Sunday Times Rich List and it held good news for retailers.

While there were some expected names such as Philip Green (4.1bn) and Mohamed al Fayed (650m), it seems other retailers are also making their mark and moving their way up the list.

Julian Dunkerton, owner of Supergroup, and Dame Mary Perkins and her husband, owners of Specsavers have both made progress with fortunes of 180m and 810m respectively.

It might seem like pie in the sky to many of us but if what you want is to make a huge success (and some cash) it may be worth taking some tips from these people.

The full Rich List will be online from next Sunday but you can read more about it on the Times Website by clicking here
