Ireland's hidden wealth: Who are our richest residents?

Not only do we have a large number of millionaires, but Ireland is ahead of its European neighbours when it comes to 'ultra-high net worth individuals' - those worth over $30m

Patrick and John Collison, co-founders of Stripe, saw their estimated wealth grow by more than $6bn each last year.

A number of weeks ago there was an outcry about the cost of tea and scones at Ireland’s newest five-star hotel. The Cashel Palace Hotel in Tipperary came under fire when an afternoon treat of scones and tea for three came in at €45 with a €4.50 gratuity on top.

People were outraged with cries of ‘sure who’d pay that?’. Who indeed? With international tourists missing from the country for two years, Irish or Irish-based customers stepped in to fill the breach at the country’s top destinations.
