He's a very astute businessman with a portfolio of profitable companies like Deckchair (which he later sold)

He's not worth 1.2 billion. Some muppet on wikipedia put that in.
More reasonable ranges discussed here.

I met him at a gig in London years back, Mercury Rev it was, and he couldn't have been nicer. He took me calling him "Sir Bob" and trying to pass him a joint in very good humour.

If I'd have known he was so rich I'd have tapped him for a few quid.

Made him properly famous. His profile allowed him to get rich.

Well he didn't get rich from the time he was flogging stuff in London's Camden Market.

Bobs a very shrewd businessman... he's been involved in some very successful internet start-ups and travel companies... These days he is primarily a business person, secondly a celebrity and thirdly a musician...

Wacker The Attacker

Its a rat trap and he was caught
