David And Frederick Barclay
Sir David Rowat Barclay and Sir Frederick Hugh Barclay (both born on 27 October 1934) are British businessmen. The identical twin brothers have very substantial business interests primarily in media, retail and property. The Sunday Times Rich List of 2012 estimated their wealth at £2.25 billion. They have earned a reputation for avoiding publicity, and are often described as reclusive. Sir David's son Aidan Barclay manages their UK businesses.
Their Press Holdings company owns The Business and The Spectator magazine. The Telegraph Group Limited titles are controlled via a wholly owned subsidiary, Press Acquisitions Limited.
In 1993 they bought the island of Brecqhou, off the coast of Sark.
