Optician Becomes Billionaire. Yes with a B!

"Specsavers founder Dame Mary Perkins has become Britain’s first self-made woman billionaire.
Dame Mary, who set up the High Street opticians with husband Doug Perkins in 1984, has seen their wealth grow to £1.1billion this year, ­according to the Sunday Times Rich List." That's the post on the British newspaper the Mirror. "The fortune of Mary, 67, and Doug, 68, shot up 42 per cent in the past year, putting their Guernsey family among Britain’s 73 billionaires."
