Following the huge success of last year’s countdown shows, Joe O’Shea once again dives into the Sunday Times Rich List in this two-parter to find out who in Ireland has been busiest counting their millions over the last year.
This time the programme will concentrate on two specific categories from the list;
Ireland’s Top 20 New Entries which will give us a sense of current spending trends, this year’s newcomers include a recycling tycoon, an outspoken pugilist and the creator of an internet estate agency
Ireland’s Top 20 Richest Women – in the centenary year of women’s suffrage, we countdown the country’s wealthiest women, who are the women who have managed to succeed in this very male dominated world and how did the new entries manage to get so rich?
With features about spending trends and analysis from Matt Cooper, Nick Webb, Gerald Kean, Bibi Baskin and many others, these compelling countdowns will have viewers glued to their armchairs to see who’s in and who’s not.
Each programme will also have shorter features based on research from the list: some up and coming hotshots, what the superrich are spending their money on and what star sign is most common with millionaires?
Ireland’s Rich List, 30th August on RTÉ2 at 9.30pm.
