    Martin Lewis: from Simply Money to loads of money





    Martin Lewis no longer needs to exercise his money saving expertise, having sold his website for ?87m to Moneysupermarket.com.

    Just a decade ago Mr Lewis was a little-known presenter on a 24-hour satellite television channel Simply Money. The channel was fronted by Angela Rippon, but it was Mr Lewis in his two minute slot on personal finance that caught the industry's eye.

    While he was still at the Express, in 2007, he was rumoured to have been approached by Lloyds TSB who offered him ?5m to buy the site. He turned it down on the basis that he "did not trust banks", and would worry about losing editorial control.

              Had this before, serach for it, LONG time ago.

              there is a website, you punch in link and it tells you what website is work.

              it's shite, can't remeber the figure *THINK* it said DK is ONLY worth ?80,000 - what a load of crap, DK is priceless.

              Then that goes the other way, how can Devilfish insure the worlds bestwebsite if he can't put a figure on it.

              Susspose will have too put on form "MAXIMUM"

                              good luck to him. i first heard him on Radio 1, he had a 2 minute slot once a week a few years back. i think he started the court case against the banks who made people take out unnecessary insurance on personal loans which resulted in a lot of ripped-off consumers getting a decent amount of their money back.
