He moved to Jersey the day he sold the Workmate to B&D. From memory
he got £3 million but if he'd stayed here he would have lost a lot of
it in taxes.



if you had 3m would you stay put ?

The trouble is that £3M isn't enough to lead a millionaire's lifestyle
these days. OK, you could retire and lead a comfortable middle-class
existence, but you wouldn't be rich, rich, rich. Especially if you had
to buy a house out of the £3M.


Could you actually buy much of a house in Jersey for £3M?

Yebbut Hickman did it 30 years ago..
