Dawson's wealth grows by £475m

PLYMOUTH retail magnate Chris Dawson has revealed how his wealth grew by £475 million in just a year.

The boss of The Range shopping empire saw his net worth soar to £2.5 billion, landing him and his wife, Sarah, at number 70 in Rich List.

Mr Dawson – who says he works “nine days a week, 25 hours a day” – explained to how the smart investments and the fast-rising value of his retail empire contributed to his overall wealth jumping by £475 million.

It included the Wilko budget chain’s value leaping to £100,000,000 – after he paid just £7 million for its brand and intellectual property and reopened about 50 stores at the end of last year.
