I've never managed to figure out how Power makes his money. Historically, you knew how chairmen/owners/directors earned their crust, even before the wonders of the internet age. So, Wilf Castle, loaves and lardies; Eric Lane, chops and chitterlings; Piggy Williams, farmer; Dick Mattick, teacher and porn star; Brian Hillier, Calne based unisex hairdressing salon; Willie Carson, jockey and annoying little shit; Bob Holt, old colonial fixer, handy v Mau Mau. SSW, married into money; Andrew Black, Betfair; Callum Rice, Bourne Supremacy and did the cruises. But Power Woah... back up a little bit.... Dick Mattick, teacher and porn star?

Lee Power - Investments. Symptom of the modern age, if you have money you can make money. You don't need to produce anything or have any talent just put the money in the right places.
Like Panama, The Cayman Islands, Bahamas etc much loved of leading Tories. Also dodgy film investment vehicles, much loved of STFC's local MP, Robert Buckland.... http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/news/uk_news/National/article1516677.ece?shareToken=7dce6c941e3af81d49a201a58a2a1d60I guess Power is a Switzerland man.....football and The Gnomes of Zurich seem to go together like Blatter and Platini.

Money can come from unexpected sources, I know somebody who 30 years ago ran his own one-man band cleaning company and didn't have two pence to rub along with - in fact he got a reputation for rubber cheques!! Ten years ago an elderly relative died and he inherited 10 properties in North London - now they have his and hers range rovers, expanded the business greatly and managed to persuade the National Trust to sell him two tumble down farm cottages and 10 acres of land!! He now lives in a superb house set in 10 acres of land in deepest Somerset!! He'll tell you his biggest achievement was persuading the NT to sell those cottages and land, even if he did have to convert them as to their specifications!

But Power Don't forget he is big muckers with Charlie Richardson - the odd bank job here, jewel heist there. It all adds up.

Eddie Richardson was the "gangster" seen with Lee Power at the Millwall game. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3285132/Riddle-Clive-Oliver-s-County-FA-exit-Jose-Mourinho-persists-dodgy-ground.html

has he? where are they based?
He quite often frequents Lambourn he used to have some horses at a yard in Lambourn but I think it went bust not too sure what happened, he is still friends with the landlord of the George in Lambourn and that is where you will find him now and again.
