#67 Sir Tom Hunter - Scotland's First Billionaire Gives All Away

Sir Tom Hunter is a Scottish businessman, entrepreneur and philanthropist. From the back of a van he founded Sports Division which he sold to JJB for £290m when it became Europe's largest retailer. Alongside his wife Lady Hunter he is the founder of The Hunter Foundation.

He is huge driver for Entrepreneurialism in Scotland so much so The University of Strathclyde have named their Entrepreneurship Faculty after him. He is a recipient of the Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy.

Tom became Scotland’s richest man and first billionaire. However, Sir Tom asked to be removed from the Sunday Time’s Rich List as he aims to give most of his wealth away.

In this episode expect to learn:

Sir Tom Hunter’s origin story from the mining town of New Cumnock, Scotland.
Tom’s lessons from scaling a business from market stalls to millions of pounds.
What it feels like to become a billionaire
Tom’s most extravagant purchase
What the “millionaire’s menopause” is and how Tom found a new purpose after exiting his business
What is like to partner with Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Leonardo Di Caprio and George Clooney on charitable initiatives.
Tom’s greatest fears

AND - what a BILLIONAIRE has for dinner!

Tom is an idol for me so this episode is very full circle!

Thanks Tom.
