Wensley Haydon-Baillie, born ca. 1953, the son of a surgeon from Worksop, Nottinghamshire, was once one of the 50 richest men in the UK〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= thisismoney.co.uk )〕 after working his way up in the pharmaceutical industry. A company he invested in, Porton International, sold at high prices when it seemed it had a cure for herpes. It collapsed when it turned out it did not and the company wound up selling at a discounted price to Ipsen Pharmaceutical. He owned a collection of Rolls-Royces and an aviation museum housing and restoring many Spitfires.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Touchdown Aviation )〕 He also owned Wentworth Woodhouse in Yorkshire – one of the largest private homes in Europe with an assumed 365 rooms. In the 1980s, he invested millions in a firm that claimed to have a cure for herpes but it never materialised and in 1998 he admitted to debts of £13m. In 1994, Wensley Haydon-Baillie married Samantha Acland, a secretary. Prince Michael of Kent was best man.〔 He is the current owner of the two largest passenger hovercraft in the world, the SRN4s, and also one of the fastest boats in the world, the ''Brave Challenger''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Payout for boat damage caused by Spinnaker Tower building work )〕 Wensley Haydon-Baillie is also one of the few surviving descendants of Jeremiah Coghlan the heroic Royal Navy officer (). ==References== *(thepeerage.com ) *(Wedding Photos ) * ''(My doomed love affair with England's greatest house )'', Transforming Network Infrastructure, February 16, 2007. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wensley Haydon-Baillie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
