Sir Al’s charity turn - Nov05
Sir Alan Sugar has obviously realised that being a millionaire isn’t all about football teams and getting your face on tv, so he’s turned his hand to a bit of charity work - other than those dreadful NS&I ads. Alan’s follow up to The Apprentice, The Sir Alan Sugar Challenge, sees his contestants compete to create the perfect charity party with the results aired on BBC1 and proceeds going to the Save the Hackney Empire Campaign. The first party, organised by Identity One, took place on Halloween and saw all number of no marks turn out to make fools of themselves. see our pictures here.

Biography

The multi millionaire started life in a council flat in Hackney, he attended Brook House School. Today he lives in a mansion in Chigwell, Essex, with his wife Ann, and enjoys the trappings that success and wealth bring: he has properties in Marbella and Florida, a yacht and an 8 seat Citation jet.

At 16 he landed a job as a statistician at the Education Ministry. He soon became bored and started selling car aerials from the back of a dilapidated van. He registered Alan Michael Sugar Trading as Amstrad when he was 21 and went on to make a fortune selling basic, low cost, computer technology to the masses.

In 1990 Sugar bought Tottenham Hotspurs the premier league football club for a cool £7million. He is now one of the wealthiest people in Britain with a personal fortune that is estimated to be over £500m.

In 1999 he was knighted for services to British industry. He recently stepped down as Spurs chairman and sold the club netting him another small fortune.

He is a man who likes to share his good fortune and wealth with the community. Recently donated £1.3million to the rebuilding of the Hackney Empire.
