With the recession in full swing and thousands of people being made redundant, isn't heart warming to know that there are some people who doing rather well for themselves?
Take Lord Rothermere. He's the owner of the Daily Mail and the chairman of General Trust. He lives in a huge house set in 220 acres of Wiltshire countryside. He earns a salary of �415,000 and is reportedly worth �825 million.
We should be grateful for people like this because think of all the tax they pay to the UK Government � and let's face it, we need all money we can get nowadays.
So how much tax do you think Lord Rothermere pays to HM Government?
Nothing. Zero.
He's classed as a 'non-domicle'. He owns his newspaper group through tax havens including Bermuda.
