Goldman have 425 MDs, it's not like what you're thinking of as an MD of a traditional company. It is the step below Partner. He will be loaded, but nowhere near rich enough to buy a football club with his own money.
Billionaires are reserved for: Owners and shareholders of global companies. Heads of state in countries with vast mineral wealth... Or corrupt business men from the east, who have either taken control of companies or laundered huge sums. Or people with parents who fit the above. A rich banker is just rich, not super rich.
Believe me MD at GS does not mean the top dog - it means you run a division, albeit often a large one. There have always been loads of MD's at GS. Don't get me wrong, he's obviously very smart and has been successful and no doubt made a few bob (a few million) but I'll bet my bottom dollar he individually is not anywhere near as wealthy as the Allam's. What he is is a facilitator/deal maker for HNWs, PE groups and VCs and that is where the real money behind this rumoured take-over approach rests.
Same applies, dipshit. Banks aren't usually owned as a model that compares with tech companies or produce, manufacturing, or resource based concerns.
If the rich banker owns a global bank is he super rich or rich? Just need it clarifying, thanks in advance
From what I heard from a 'reliable source' Mr Allam has/had a serious condition from which few people recover, therefore his recovery is not only good news, but unexpected. Good luck to him.
Oh I know that, I was just refuting the statement that he was definitely a billionaire. He probably has a personal net worth in the tens of millions but not football club money.
FFS, look. If someone whether an individual or a consortium/company or whatever, has to pay the Allams £100m, then it goes without saying they have a shedload of money. They are ****ing loaded. Which kind of makes some of the anal bickering on here, ****ing pointless and dumb. They're certainly richer than the dick headed Allams as there is no way the Allams would have paid so much to buy us. FFS!
