[Arthur] Edward Rory Guinness, Earl of Iveagh 4th
Edward was born on 10 Aug 1969.
In 1992, Edward, Lord Elveden, became
Earl of Iveagh, after the death of his father. During the later part of the 90's
and into the new millenium, he topped the richest under 30 year old list.
In 1999 he was estimated to have been worth £2.2bn.
The development of the
Elveden Estate throughout the 20th century has been dominated by a single
recurring theme: That is the acceptance of the need to change to meet
contemporary need. The willingness and commitment of successive generations
of the owners, managers and communities of the Elveden Estate to embrace
change, is probably the single most important reason why this Estate remains
intact and thriving to this day.
Edward lives
predominantly in England and in late 1999 the family mansion in Dublin was
sold.
