Some of Britain's richest men are some of the biggest land owners in Mallorca. If they were to sell their Mallorcan properties and land their fortune would increase considerably. Sir Richard Branson's Son Bunyola estate in Banyalbufar has 200 hectares. In fact, the Virgin tycoon owns a sizeable slice of the municipality of Banyalbufar which, as a joke, was dubbed Virgin town when he first bought the property and extensive land.

Branson has made significant investment on the island which will continue to grow when he opens a new hotel on the same site in two years' time. Branson has a fortune of about two billion pounds which naturally includes his Mallorca assets.

The Reuben Brothers.
