The unidentified wealthiest guy in Britain is valued at £14 billion
His estimated net worth is £14.3 billion, but his identity is still a mystery, according to British media.
The wealthiest individual in Britain is Michael Platt, 56, whose enormous wealth even eclipses that of well-known billionaires James Dyson and Sir Jim Ratcliffe. However, despite his staggering wealth, the millionaire Preston native remains mostly unknown—so much so that the receptionist at his own business isn’t even familiar with his name.
BlueCrest Capital Management was created in 2000 by Michael and businessman William Reeves. In contrast to most hedge funds, it functions as an individual investment vehicle for its senior partners and staff rather than serving external clients. It has generated billions of pounds in profits for the affluent Michael. Despite his quiet demeanor, not even the receptionist at BlueCrest London offices is aware of his identity due to his low-key appearance. Michael was last publicly interviewed more than ten years ago, and it’s said that he ignores communications addressed to him.
He also dislikes photo sessions and paparazzi. When The Times interviewed Michael and William back in 2006, they vehemently objected to being photographed. “They guard their privacy fiercely and detest their regular appearances in newspaper rich lists,” said financial editor Patrick Hosking.
