2016: New Entry

Much of ex-Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason's fortune is on four wheels. He owns one of the finest collections of classic in the world.

Birmingham-born Nick Mason's collection includes one of 400 Ferrari Enzos, which he was invited to buy by Ferrari.

He also owns a Ferrari 250 GTO - one of just 39 - to be built - which is worth at least £20 million.

He owns, through his company Ten Tenths, several other classic cars and competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in the 70s and 80s.

Nick Mason, 72, was born in Edgbaston, the son of documentary film producer Bill Mason.

After schooling in Surrey he studied architecture at the Regent Street Polytechnic, now the University of Westminster, where he teamed up with Roger Waters, Rick Wright and Bob Klose to form a group named Sigma 6, the forerunner to Pink Floyd.

In 1964 they were joined by Syd Barrett who became the band's front man. After playing several gigs, including at Soho's Marquee club, they attracted the attention of EMI who signed them up.
