Owner Evans 167th Richest - Ipswich Town News
Town owner Marcus Evans is the 167th richest person in the UK with his wealth having remained static at £765 million, the same level as the last two years, according to the 2017 Sunday Times Rich List.
Last year that sum put Evans 146th in the annual Rich List, which is based on "identifiable wealth"; land, property, publicly-quoted shares and other assets, but not bank accounts but not bank accounts to which they don’t have access.
Town sources have previously dismissed Rich List estimates of Evans’s wealth, which was claimed to have risen by £65 million between 2014 and 2015, as highly speculative.
Earlier this week, Evans sold TV company World Productions, which makes Line of Duty, to ITV Studios.
