Big rise in people earning more than £1m a year
Big earner: Adam Crozier
12 April 2012
The number of people in Britain earning more than £1 million a year has reached a record 14,000.
Latest official figures published today show that even the credit crunch and the worst post-war recession could not slow the increase in the ranks of the "annual millionaires" in 2008.
Those lucky enough to be able to boast of a
"nine figure salary" will include a mix of
City bosses such as Barclays chief Bob Diamond, Premiership footballers and a handful of
public servants, including departing Royal Mail chief Adam Crozier.
At least half are thought to live in and around London.
The total earning at least £100,000 also hit an all-time high of 643,000.
