A sex entrepreneur heads the list of the wealthiest people in Britain, and Queen Elizabeth doesn’t even make the top 50, according to Business Age magazine.
Paul Raymond, who owns an empire of sex magazines and clubs, tops the list. He has $2.3 billion.
Ex-Beatle Paul McCartney is the top entertainer with $642 million, and John Lennon’s 18-year-old son, Sean, tops the under-30 list at $72 million.
What about Queen Elizabeth’s paltry $229.3 million?
“We used criteria for . . . her personal wealth,” said Olivia Warrington, a Business Age spokeswoman. “There are lots of ways of assessing royal wealth.”
