Wealth Breakdown

  • Property Empire : Amsprop (run by son Daniel) drives most gains, with £102 million in sales (2021-2022) and London holdings appreciating.
  • Tech Legacy : Built Amstrad (sold for £125 million in 2007); now Amscreen digital media (son Simon).
  • Media & TV: The Apprentice yields endorsement deals and investments in winners' businesses; he donates his BBC fee to charity.
  • Other : Sports (ex-Tottenham chairman), private equity, minimal high-risk bets for stability.

How He Built It

From East London market trader in the 1960s, Sugar bootstrapped Amstrad into a consumer electronics giant (think word processors, early PCs). He embodies self-made grit—selling from a van, no formal education, now a peer of the realm. The Apprentice since 2005 amplified his brand, turning "You're fired!" into cultural gold while scouting investments.

"Sugar’s conservative investment strategy and asset-backed wealth give him insulation from economic volatility."

Forums buzz about his 2026 outlook amid UK property rebounds post-2025 dips. Some speculate Tottenham regrets cost him, but most hail his discipline—net worth up ~8% yearly. No major scandals; focus stays on empire tweaks like digital out-of-home ads.

£1.2B now, eyeing £1.25B —property kingpin with TV flair. Figures vary by list (e.g., Sunday Times vs. projections), but trajectory's upward.
