Is it that easy, if you have hundreds of millions of pounds, to evade detection?

He doesn't exactly seek publicity, does he? I can't imagine it would be that hard to stay out of those lists if you wanted to.
Mr Bloom has earned $3'337'271 playing poker since 1994 to 2014 according to http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=26
If Mr Bloom is as rich as all Albion fans would like to think where has he made his fortune?

Investing in property.
Yeah that's a faIr comment! However the rich list is drawn up by Forbes who pretty much have a good clue who has earned what.
Besides Lord Bashford isnt exactly a media magnet either and he is top of the list for the uk.
Come to think of it, have you ever heard of Gina Rinehart?
Nope me neither..........but she was the worlds richest women in 2012 but has now dropped to 4th richest. But you already knew that because that list is full of people telling the world about themselves and there wealth.
I think he made his first fortune selling an online betting website he'd devised/designed to one of the big boys, then I think he did something similar again. After that I understand it was property develpment in the UK (Sussex) and a lot of property develpment in Australia. The poker playing is a hobby.
So his wealth could be easily determined as selling a company and buying property is relatively transparent even if he has done it via a company or investment fund?
I'm wracking the old braincells for where I heard/found out, but the first online thing may well have been back when these organisations were based out of Gibralter (was to avoid UK taxation laws I think), possibly the second one was out of there too, could explain the lack of transparency?
