The new Sunday Times Rich List has identified 50 of Northern Ireland’s richest people
in its latest listing. The total estimated wealth of Irish people who make the list
is nearly £30 billion. 
Topping the list is Sean Quinn from Fermanagh who is estimated
to be worth £810 million. Second, but way behind Quinn, is Edward Haughey who owns
Norbrook, an animal pharmaceutical business.

Wealth from pharmaceuticals and property/construction form a large part of the list,
with one company, now trading as Warner Chillcot, providing three of the top names.

Dr Allen McClay in third place with wealth estimated at £255 million has been a 
big contributor to Queen’s University in Belfast.
