Waterford Millionaires

PTH2009

Just wondering are they many Waterford Millionaires living in the city or outside ??

John O Shea, Daryl Murphy, Gilbert O Sullivan, Waterford Current and ex tds would be close to millionaires.

I'm one.

I'm just wondering what their mothers maiden name was and the name of their first pet, first room mate, favourite colour...
Any ideas?

The Bowling Alley

I wouldn't say any of those people are millionaires tbh.

O'Shea is certainly a millionaire.

GOS successfully sued his manager/producer for 7 million quid back in the 80s.

Daryl Murphy would not even be any bit close to being a millionaire.

John O' Shea's contract up to May this year was a salary of £1.3 million. That'd be going well, well down now one would presume. Obviously he'd get bonuses on top etc. but that gives a general idea.

I would think there are plenty of millionaires around the city. Some farmers, doctors etc would have lots of cash money.

Theres a few lotto winners hiding in the bushes as well

Plenty of them around depending on how you are assessing the criteria. If it's someone with net assets of €1million it's not a stretch. Take a home with no debt, decent pension after years of paying in, business value, other assets picked up over the years(second home, stocks etc) and you can see plenty who would be in this position. Typically individual/ couple in 50/60s who is not saddled with housing debt

We usually feature well on the tax defaulters list along with Cork which is usually a sign there is plenty of loot in the hands of someone. There are plenty of millionaires in the city and area no doubt about it.

The more interesting thing for me is how many millionaires are rich as a consequence of innovation and business acumen rather than inherited wealth. I would expect like most places it is dominated by the usual farmer,landowner,doctor,combination of all three and local gombeen oligarchy....

Local gombeen men voted in by their peers!

John O'Shea is listed at €16 million recently.

Daryl would be close, I'd imagine he is. you need to remind yourself of how much footballers earn. he's been at some big clubs so on top of his wages alone which would be very high, signing on fee's, boot deals and off the field sponsorships.

Exactly I'd be more interested in how people became millionaires to try and take inspiration from them rather than worrying about who exactly is a millionaire.

Average salary for players in the Championship is about £300,000 fwiw. I'd be surprised if his take home pay after all bonuses etc is >£400,000 pre-tax.

In fairness he's a striker who get paid more than average players, and he was comfortably the top scorer in the division in 2014/15. He's been at a Premiership club who are well known for paying above the odds for players, and been through a few transfers - to the likes of Celtic for example.

The rumour mills of late claim he's attracted bids of between £3m and £4.25 in the last couple of weeks.

yeah he mentioned he had to take a paycut to join Celtic, who play Champions League football. so that tells you the kind of money he was on at Sunderland. certain he's a millionaire. fair play to him, not long ago he was earning pennies at Waterford Utd.

A few lads from my class are now millionaires, they head insurance companies or work as actuaries or doctors. They all left Waterford after finishing school.
