Seumas Dawes, the London-based Australian merchant banker, sits in equal 859th place with a £90 million worth on the latest Sunday Times Richest 1000 list.
Dawes was in 821st in last year's list. The list, now in its 25th year, was released on Sunday.

It reports that Dawes, 56, sold £17 million of Ashmore shares and retained a stake worth £75 million in 2006.
Dawes held a number of positions in the Australian public sector including three years as a senior advisor to Paul Keating, the then treasurer of Australia.
