His attitude to money is in stark contrast to his DFS co-founder, Robert Miller, the 293rd richest person in the world, who has a $6bn fortune. Miller has luxury homes in Hong Kong, New York, Paris and Gstaad, Switzerland, as well the 14,500-hectare (35,800 acres) Gunnerside estate country park in Yorkshire. Miller has three socialite daughters: crown princess Marie-Chantal of Greece, Alexandra Miller, and Pia Getty.
Miller and Feeney have not spoken since the latter sold his stake in DFS to luxury goods firm LVMH in 1996. A dispute with Miller over the sale led to Feeney’s once-secret philanthropy being exposed in the run-up to a court challenge. DFS Group operates more than 420 duty-free boutiques at 11 international airports.
