More on Mike Ashley
Description from Wikipedia:
Michael James Wallace Ashley (born 1963 in Burnham, Buckinghamshire) is an English billionaire retail entrepreneur, in the sporting goods market. He is also the owner of Newcastle United after paying around £135 million to buy the club.
Ranked 54th in the 2008 version of the Sunday Times Rich List with estimated wealth of £1.4 billion, Ashley was seen as an intensely private person, who never attended industry functions or gives interviews. Philip Beresforde, who compiles the annual Sunday Times list, said neither he nor his staff have ever managed to contact Ashley, and describes him as "easily Britain's answer to the late Howard Hughes." However, since Sports Direct International Plc went public, and his purchase of Newcastle United where he has taken to sitting in the stands with fans, Ashley has taken on a more public and accessible persona.
