Tom Morris

Tom Morris is the billionaire founder and Managing Director of the UK discount retail chain Home Bargains. He started the business in 1976 in Liverpool at age 21, reportedly using a bank overdraft. He grew it into a multi-billion-pound enterprise with over 500 stores, which he continues to run with several of his brothers.

Known for being notoriously private, Tom Morris comes from a family with three generations of retail history in Liverpool. He still resides in the Merseyside area and has involved his own children in the family business. Despite his immense wealth, he is known for a humble disposition, reportedly driving a Volkswagen Golf.

Unique fact: Tom Morris and his family are worth over £6 billion, making them one of the wealthiest families in the UK, yet he reportedly does not have a private secretary.
