The Tower Limited Company is owned by Nathan Kirsh, a billionaire South African property developer, who donated £500,000 to lead Remain campaign Britain Stronger in Europe. It was the biggest corporate donation to the campaign since February 1.
Mr Kirsh, now 84, was ranked 21st on the Sunday Times Rich List with a £4.4bn fortune from his profitable stake in Jetro, the US cash and carry operator. He bought the London skyscraper Tower 42 for the princely sum of £280m back in 2011. [1]
