Being one of Mallorca's biggest landowners could be a recipe for financial success as brothers David and Simon Reuben and family rose to second place in the Sunday Times rich list in Britain with a fortune of 26.87 billion pounds.
The two brothers own 1065 hectares (2,632 acres), of sea frontage totalling around 20 kilometres in Mallorca. The holdings are located within Manacor, Capdepera, Arta and overlooking the Bay of Palma. They made their purchases on the island about five years ago. With the increase in property and land prices on the island it appears very likely that the two billionaire brothers have made a good investment.
