'ONLY forty million?' asked Owen Oyston when the news reached Wymott Prison that The Sunday Times had downgraded him in its annual list of Britain's1,000 richest people.
The paper that put him 289th richest in 1995, 387th richest in 1996 has now dropped him down to joint 461st in the list.
They reckon his fortune has been static for the last three years, at £40 million.
But thanks to Oyston's present predicament, his wealth has just been recalculated - and the word in Wymott is that it's jumped, 'Up to more than £100 million'.
