I'm not sure that's his own personal wealth but more likely the combined wealth of all his businesses?

I'm not sure either but when the rumours were flying round about who was buying Notts from The Trews, a figure of him being worth £80,000,000 was mentioned and seemed to be a reliable quote. Perhaps he was worth that then, but spent the difference of £25M on paying off Nolan and Sheridan, improvements to the family stand, re-turfing the pitch, a new tannoy in the Kop, free T-shirts, buying new players... have I missed anything?
I would take all of these figures with the proverbial pinch of salt. What they're worth on paper based on company assets doesn't mean they have anything like that money at their disposal, or that it's remotely accurate (it's all guesswork based on data in the public domain, which doesn't begin to tell the full story). There's also a lot of rich people on that list whose clubs aren't exactly rolling in cash - Blackpool, Bradford, Stevenage, Swindon and Colchester to name just the ones nearest our owner in the list.
I'd hope AH would have a look at the list and have a good laugh at it.
