Britain's mystery richest man is worth £14billion - but his own staff don't even know who he isHe's reportedly worth £14.3billion - and yet his identity remains shrouded in mystery. Michael Platt, 56, is the richest person in Britain and his immense fortune even surpasses well-known billionaires Sir Jim Ratcliffe and James Dyson. But despite his eye-watering net worth, the Preston-born billionaire stays largely under the radar - so much so, that his own company's receptionist doesn't even know his name. Back in 2000, Michael and businessman William Reeves co-founded investment firm BlueCrest Capital Management. Unlike most hedge funds, it uniquely operates as a personal investment vehicle for its employees and senior partners, instead of external clients, and has racked up billions of pounds for wealthy tycoon Michael. He isn't a fan of paparazzi or photoshoots either. Back in 2006, when Michael and William were interviewed by The Times, they refused to be photographed under any circumstances. Financial editor Patrick Hosking wrote:"They guard their privacy fiercely and detest their regular appearances in newspaper rich lists." www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/britains-mystery-richest-man-worth-32597966

My first thoughts are that he looks really happy and healthy.
Some people don't want the fame that goes with great wealth.
It's understandable. But looks like he's losing the battle, seeing as his pic is plastered all over the internet now.
