Internet Millionaires on the UK Rich List 2011
Blogging for money is just one kind of potentially profitable internet businesses. The richest internet business people demonstrate the extent of possibilities. The owners of IT and internet companies on the Rich List 2011 featured prominently throughout the list, with brothers David and Simon Reuben, who own a large data center company, securing a spot above Sir Richard Branson on the list. However, the entrepreneurs behind some of the biggest UK software companies didn't perform as well, especially when compared to their US counterparts.
The first UK software company owner to appear on the UK Rich List is Mike Lynch, who secured the No. 162 spot with a total worth of 396 million pounds. He was closely followed by Niklas Zennstrom, who founded a well-known internet telephony company. He is also a big investor in the Finnish developer of the popular smartphone game Angry Birds. Other software notables on the list include Graham Wylie, Jan Hruska and Peter Lammer.
