| Foreign exchange specialist Cruddas, 50, who left school at 15, saw his family-owned CMC group grow rapidly after investing £30m in software for a real-time trading system. Cruddas, who lives in Monaco, is now reaping sales in lucrative markets such as China. Hertfordshire-based CMC, which is also involved in spread betting, made £6.9m profit on £25.7m sales in 2002-03 after Cruddas took £6.8m salary. It is easily worth £300m. Property and past salaries add £20m.
