Asylum housing businessman and Euan Blair break into UK rich list

Graham King, the founder and majority owner of a business empire that includes Clearsprings Ready Homes, which won a 10-year Home Office contract for housing thousands of asylum seekers, was yesterday named alongside King Charles, Paul McCartney and the former prime minster's son Euan Blair on the Sunday Times rich list of the wealthiest people.

King, 56, is estimated to have amassed a £750m fortune from "holiday parks, inheritance and housing asylum seekers for the government". Clearsprings Ready Homes made £62.5m in profits after tax for the year ending January 2023, more than double its profits of £28m the previous year.
