Alex Beard – 1.36B GBP
Alex Beard had a minority stake in Glencore, an energy company, and this has turned him into one of the richest men in England. He joined Glencore in 1995 and then took over the mining operations of the company. It was under him that Glencore joined forces with one of the largest mining companies out there. He made millions from this deal and is now considered a pillar in the oil and gas business. He is presently a non-executive director on Chemoil and on the board of trustees of Shakespeare’s Globe.
Hilton Schlosberg – 1.45B GBP
Do you like or hate Monster Energy drinks? Whatever your answer is, it is Hilton Schlosberg responsible for that. He has been the president and COO of the company since 1990. His leadership has truly turned it into a monster in a good way! Schlosberg started Monster with a friend and slowly bought out rival soda makers before whipping up the Monster Energy killer formula. The drink became very popular after it entered a partnership with Coca-Cola in 2014. This is just like water to most university students!
