This week, the billionaire property developer Nick Candy announced that he had been appointed as Reform UK’s new treasurer and pledged to donate a “seven figure sum” to Nigel Farage’s party.
Candy, until now a long-term Conservative party member and donor, made his fortune redeveloping luxury properties with his brother Christian Candy. Together, they are worth an estimated £1.5 billion, according to the Irish Sun, with Candy’s wealth around £880 million.
