Earlier this month, Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary became Ireland’s latest billionaire, earning himself a place on Forbes’s annual billionaire ranking.

The long-time chief executive of the airline is estimated to be worth $1.1 billion (€886 million), with the bulk of his wealth coming from his holding in the airline. He is the third-largest investor in the listed group with a 3.91 per cent stake.
