The Sunday Times Rich List for 2024 which estimates the personal wealth of the richest at least notionally UK based people suggests that in global Big Beer the personal fortune of the owner of Heineken is doing rather less well than the owners of ABInBev.
Of course both are public companies so the personal wealth of the owners, while interesting, and concerning to many,does not particularly reflect how Heineken and ABInBev are doing
Charlene De Carvalho-Heinken and Michel De Carvalho have dropped from eighth to fourteenth in the Top 350 with a personal wealth of £11.751bn down £1.371bn on 2023 but roughly where they were in 2022.
Meanwhile Alejandro Santiago Domingo and Lady Charlotte Welleseley who are associated with ABInBev have risen from 80 to 78 with a personal wealth of £2.2bn up £33m on 2023
The Earl of Iveagh and the Guinness Family is at 192 down from 179 with wealth of £916m down £67m on 2023. The Earl also owns the Norfolk Estate that supplies the King’s Christmas tree at Sandringham
Big Beer is still very good business, for the owners anyway
