What does my main character's rich husband do in London?

[rosewool]

Other than a banker or a politician ?

CEO of construction company.

I’m finished now! That’s all the wealthy people I know IRL

Architect

One more, cryptocurrency trader/mover

Private equity.

Portfolio career, various NXD posts, property and stock speculation.

Oh wow loads of ideas. Some which I didn't know were jobs

Youngish, old money but has a job that means he has to stay in London part time (which maybe I should have put in the op, sorry)

Software developer. TV producer.

Corporate law then. International deals mean has to work overnight to deal with different time zones.

Venture capitalist

art dealer (often old money, part time, lots of nice lunches in clubs etc)

A specialist surgeon?
Hair transplant
Plastic surgery

A business advisor?
Growth or exit stratagist

In building?
Architect
Cost consultant

Train / tram driver. They receiver way more money than you probably think

Partner in the big 4

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned just a generally very rich CEO or Chairman of whatever comment?

Property, media, logistics, finance. Take your pic what type of company.

*of a whatever company

Pimp
Drug lord

Plumber! Has private income, doesn't really need to work. Enjoys getting hands on and flirting with customers in WC1. More likely, estate agent.

For all these you can be any age as I've met/know/worked for people who actually do these:

• Owner/director of small insurance company. You can choose some random niche.
• Owner/director of technology company that uses mines others data. The technology is then used by other companies to flog things to people. You can choose something random like supermarkets, clothes retailers or whatever as the main users of the technology.
• Owner/director of technology company that puts adverts every where online. You can choose a particular type of annoying ad.
• Owner/director of a video gaming company. You can then make up some random title that sold millions worldwide on different formats.
• Owner/director of match betting company.
• Owner/director of energy (gas/electric) company - you could then make him go bust.
• Owner of ready meal company, certain type of snack food people eat everywhere or well-known coffee chain shop. In London along the railway tracks going into central London there are bakeries, food production places and coffee roasters. Also this type of business allows him to be in multiple locations as head office in central London, production somewhere else in London and having to source materials/ingredients and meet clients all over the place.

The kind of estate agent that does those candid columns in the Saturday Telegraph or Sunday Times.

Well, what does the plot need him to do? And do you want to write him as a Shoreditch start-up millionaire or a Harley Street plastic surgeon or a hedge fund manager or a rapper with a massive string of hits?

Private equity or Investment Fund Manager

Auctioneer in old family firm

A stockbroker

Something you know about, so you can write about him in a believable way.

Partner in a Private Equity/ Hedge fund. They invest in pharmaceuticals primarily though dabble in green energy
