2020 was the year that everything changed. The COVID-19 pandemic spiked through the world, leaving none of us untouched. This programme takes a deep dive into the Sunday Times Rich List to find out which of Ireland’s super-rich made the most money during these challenging years, and who lost out.
The second Rich List programme features STATSports, a sports technology company that’s become a sports stars’ favourite, delving into why it’s on course for ‘unicorn” status (a new company on the way to a billion-dollar valuation). We meet David Henderson of Tobermore, a man who’s built a fortune out of bricks. And, in Oranmore, Co Galway we’re finding out how drones are changing the way people shop and why ordering a coffee may never be the same again.
Programme two looks at the Rich List’s biggest winners and biggest losers in Connacht and Ulster.
