Sir David Rowat Barclay and Sir Frederick Hugh Barclay (both born 27 October 1934), commonly referred to as the "Barclay Brothers", are British businessmen. The identical twin brothers have very substantial business interests primarily in media, retail and property. The Sunday Times Rich List of 2014 estimated their wealth at £6 billion. They have earned a reputation for avoiding publicity, and are often described as reclusive.Sir David's son, Aidan, manages their UK businesses. Their businesses have been accused of tax avoidance, by placing assets under ownership of companies registered abroad and controlled through trusts. Their Press Holdings company owns The Business and The Spectator magazine. The Telegraph Group Limited titles are controlled via a wholly owned subsidiary, Press Acquisitions Limited.In 1993 the brothers bought the lease of the island of Brecqhou, off the coast of Sark.
