AIG stakeholder and former underwriter Sir Edwin Manton was the highest placed insurance industry figure in The Sunday Times' rich list published on

Sunday, with his wealth estimated at £386m.

Next down was Benfield chief executive Grahame Chilton worth £128m - one of five Benfield multi-millionaires featured.

Only Goldman Sachs featured more millionaires in one company.

Just below Chilly and worth £120m is Axis founder John Charman. And sandwiched between the two is David Bowie, also worth £120m.

Of course, Chilly's fortune is only worth about £20m now, according to the rich list - the rest hangs on Benfield's float later this year.
