Karren Brady – 85M GBP
Karren Brady was the Small Business Ambassador during the time of former Prime Minister David Cameron. She was also the Birmingham City Football Club manager once. Now, she is the vice-chairman of another football club: West Ham United. After learning that she grew up next to a football field in London, it is no wonder she is so passionate about the sport. She had to fight sexism to make a name for herself in the past. When a player said something sexist about her body, she sold him to another team!
