Profil Financier
Michael Ashcroft occupe actuellement le rang #2073 du classement mondial StarFortune (secteur finance & investissement). Fortune nette estimée : $2.0 B (-$15 sur 24h).
Michael Ashcroft's fortune comes from buying and selling a number of companies, most notably home security giant ADT.
He purchased ADT in 1987 then flipped it to Tyco International in 1997 for $6.7 billion; proceeds from the sale still form the bulk of his fortune.
A longtime Conservative Party supporter, he served as deputy chairman from 2005 to 2010, and stepped down from the House of Lords in March 2015.
Ashcroft is also a major investor in Belize and previously served as the Belizean Ambassador to the United Nations from 1998 to 2000.
In 2015 he released "Call Me Dave", a scathing unauthorized biography of Prime Minister David Cameron that included salacious allegations of drug use and snobbery.
He admitted his disappointment that Cameron didn't tap him for a high-ranking post, but insisted that the book -- and its uncorroborated claims -- was not revenge.
