Four entries into this year's Sunday Times Rich List have connections to North East Lincolnshire.
As reported, pioneering Grimsby-born businessman David Ross has soared to number 114 in the new Sunday Times Rich List - which was officially unveiled today.
Mr Ross, 48, has seen his fortune rise by £182 million in the past year.
With a fortune of £892 million, up from £710 million in 2013, Mr Ross has climbed eight places in the list dominated by royals, pop stars and business tycoons.
Mr Ross started Carphone Warehouse with Sir Charles Dunstone.
His stake is said to be worth £562 million and he is said to have a £105 million property portfolio.
Though he left the board in 2008, Mr Ross holds a 9.79 per cent share in Carphone Warehouse, which recently announced a £3.8 billion merger with Dixons Retail, the owner of PC World and Currys.
Last year, Mr Ross bought out the workwear division of his grandfather's company, Cosalt after the firm collapsed with debts of £17 million.
His David Ross Foundation gave £2.1 million to a Nottingham project helping disadvantaged children, says the rich list entry.
Michael Cornish and his family are also prominent members of this year's rich list.
With a fortune of £500m, Lincolnshire's Michael Cornish and his family are ranked equal 199 on the rich list.
Cornish, 60, has fallen 26 places from last year.
The rich list entry says that the family fortune came from selling Louth packaging giant LinPac for £860 million in 2003.
He now owns a 50 per cent share of Oak Ridge Hotels, owner of the Brackenborough Hotel in Louth and the Ashbourne Hotel at North Killingholme.
The list also ranks the Duke of Westminster, the former owner of Freshney Place in Grimsby, as the richest Briton.
The duke, 62, has, however, slipped from eighth to tenth place since last year.
His wealth has increased by £700m to £8.5 billion.
His property company Grosvenor sold the Grimsby shopping centre to F&C REIT Asset Management in 2013 as part of a deal totalling nearly £250 million.
One wealthy local landowner who has slipped out of the rich list is Charles Pelham, better known as the Earl of Yarborough.
Last year, he fell 24 places to feature at number 919, with a fortune said to be £84 million.
He runs the big Brocklesby estate and owns some property companies. He is thought to have been left £67 million in his father's will.
