MONEY

Stories like these are meat and drink for writers. The figures seem extraordinary, as though Harry Potter has waved his magic wand over their bank accounts. A couple of minor points. Do the workers in these businesses earn above the minimum wage? If not are they also on benefits, in which case the taxpayer is subsidising the industries. How much tax is paid? Why do I get excited when I read stories like these...and why, oh why, did I not train as an investment banker? That's the really big question.
