Theodore Lerner

GREEN RANKING FOR 2009
Ranking: 29=
Worth: £1.7bn
Green investment: Green sports

In 1952 lawyer Theodore Lerner borrowed $300 from his wife to start his Lerner Enterprises property group. He made a fortune building huge shopping malls in the suburbs of Washington DC. Today he owns large tracts of land around the US capital and Dulles airport. He also owns the Washington Nationals baseball team, which moved into a state-of-the-art green stadium last year. Lerner is also buying wind power tax credits and moving his business into a new “green” headquarters in Maryland. Forbes put his fortune at £2.4 billion last October. We cut that back to £1.7 billion in today’s difficult climate.
