Michael Anthony Ashcroft, Baron Ashcroft, KCMG, PC (born 4 March 1946)[1] is a British-Belizean businessman, pollster and politician. He is a former deputy chairman of the Conservative Party. Ashcroft founded Michael A. Ashcroft Associates in 1972[2][3] and was the 132nd richest person in the UK, as ranked by the Sunday Times Rich List 2021, with an estimated fortune of £1.257 billion.[4]
He was created a life peer in 2000, and sat on the Conservative benches of the House of Lords until resigning in 2015. The Cabinet Office stated that he would take up permanent residence in the UK for tax purposes,[5][6] but it was reported a decade later that he had not done so.[7][8]
Ashcroft holds dual British and Belizean nationality, and is a belonger of the Turks and Caicos Islands.
