Multi-millionaire kitchen magnate and North Yorkshire resident Malcolm Healey has been named Britain's 33rd richest man in a national newspaper's rich list.
Healey has a fortune of £740 million, according to the Rich List published by the Mail on Sunday.
He made his first fortune with his father and brother Eddie when they sold Hygena Kitchens to MFI for £200 million in 1987.
He invested most of that in the US venture Mills Pride, which was sold for £800 million two years ago.
He is now 66 and lives in York with his wife Angela, 44.
He also owns Warter Priory estate, 11,000 acres of land, near Pocklington, worth £75 million.
His brother Eddie Healey, 62, is in 49th position with £490 million.
He picked up £420 million from selling his 60 per cent stake in Sheffield's Meadowhall. He lives in Hull and has a £17 million home in Barbados.
Supermarket owner Ken Morrison, of 'more reasons to shop at Morrisons' fame, was rated 20th with a fortune of £1.12 billion.
Last year he was 30th with a fortune of £710 million.
The Bradford-born lad still rolls up his sleeves and stocks up the shelves in his supermarket.
He is a father of four and lives with his wife, Lynne, on a magnificent estate and sheep farm in Myton-on-Swale, near Boroughbridge.
Paul Sykes, the property developer and leading Euro-sceptic, was rated 65th with £425 million.
The self-made Yorkshire tycoon pledged £20 million to the Anti-Euro Democracy Movement. Aged 57, he is a coal miner's son who left school at 15. He developed Sheffield's Meadowhall shopping centre.
