George Robinson (financier)
George Edward Silvanus Robinson (born 29 November 1956) is a British millionaire financier and Conservative Party donor. He was appointed a Trustee of the right-wing think-tank Policy Exchange on 10 November 2004. The 2009 Sunday Times Rich List states:
Robinson, 52, fulminated against the government’s economic record in the Financial Times last year, yet London hedge fund Sloane Robinson saw profits soar from £202.8m to £340.7m in 2007-08. Robinson co-founded it with Hugh Sloane (qv) and their stakes in the £400m business are worth £100m apiece. Past payments add £95m. [1]
