Duke of Westminster becomes richest young person
The Duke of Westminster has become the richest young person ever after he inherited £9.3 billion from his late father.
According to the Daily Mail Online, 26-year-old Hugh Grosvenor inherited the fortune after his father's sudden death last year.
Grosvenor became the 7th Duke of Westminster and joined a host of fledgling aristocrats whose families made their fortunes from property, horseracing and breweries.
Hugh Richard Louis Grosvenor is a British aristocrat, billionaire, businessman and landowner.
He is the third child and only son of Gerald Grosvenor, 6th Duke of Westminster and his wife Natalia Phillips and was styled as an Earl before inheriting the title of Duke.
He is no stranger to the highlife.
In 2013 Grosvenor attended the Christening of William and Kate's first born, Prince George at the Chapel Royal in St James's Palace in central London.
After university, the then Earl Grosvenor worked in estate management at Wheatsheaf Investment from 2013 to 2014, and the Grosvenor Group from 2014 to 2015, before becoming Accounts Manager at Bio-bean, a green energy company, in January 2016.
He received attention in August 2016 regarding inheritance taxes.
