5: Steve Morgan, £400m
REDROW founder Mr Morgan made his fortune from the housebuilder – and has now made a dramatic return to the recession- hit company after nine years away as he bids to rebuild its fortunes.
Housebuilders have been hard hit by the recession and Redrow lost 85% of its value in 18 months. But Morgan’s return to the board – he will become chairman in June – shows his confidence that Redrow will grow again once the good times return.
Morgan is also chairman of the Bridgemere Group and leads the charitable Morgan Foundation. The ardent Liverpool fan failed in attempts to buy the Reds but in 2007 bought Wolverhampton Wanderers for a nominal £10.
