‘Borgia’ machinations add to Jordan’s wealth

The dramatisation of the machinations of a rich, ruthless Italian clan, the Borgias, has added to the wealth of director and writer Neil Jordan.

The third series of The Borgias, based around the infamous Italian family set in 15th and 16th-century Italy and overseen by Jordan and starring Oscar winner Jeremy Irons, premiered in the US last weekend.

Accounts filed by the Jordan’s Dublin-based firm, Sunwind Enterprises Ltd, to the Companies Office show that the firm’s cash pile topped €1m for the first time in the 12 months to the end of Dec 2011.
