Profil
D'origine Britannique, Joseph Lewis est à la tête de Tavistock Group. L'homme d'affaires britannique supervise un portefeuille d'investissements de 170 entreprises dans plus de 15 pays.
De cette journée mémorable de 1992 où la livre britannique dégringole, on ne retient que le coup magistral de George Soros. Pourtant, il n'est pas le seul à avoir fait sauter la banque d'Angleterre. D'autres ont empoché des sommes colossales en spéculant sur la chute de la livre, parmi eux, un certain Joseph Lewis.
A 15 ans, Joseph Lewis quitte l'école pour rejoindre l'entreprise de son père qu'il a développé rapidement pour créer le Grand Hanover, un groupe spécialisé dans la restauration pour les entreprises.
En 1979, il vend l'entreprise familiale et part s'installer aux Bahamas. Depuis son île de New Providence, il mène des opérations de trading aussi audacieuses que confidentielles. Il augmente sa fortune sans monter au premier plan en faisant appel à des mandataires de confiance.
En 1998, il possède de nombreuses résidences de luxe aux quatre coins de la planète, des clubs de football, des actions dans le constructeur automobile haut de gamme Bristol Cars et jusqu'à 30% de la maison de vente aux enchères Christie's revendue depuis au groupe PPR.
En 2007, alors que la crise frappe le crédit aux États-Unis, Joe Lewis investit près de 900 millions de dollars dans Bear Stearns, l'une des cinq grandes banques d'investissement de Wall Street. Ses actions ont perdu plus d'un quart de leur valeur en raison de l'exposition de la banque aux risques élevés des prêts hypothécaires.
Mais qu'à cela ne tienne, Joe Lewis continue à multiplier ses investissements dans différentes banques, dans des sociétés de jeux et de paris sportifs, dans la distribution... un déploiement qui permet au milliardaire britannique d'être classé 8ème plus grosse fortune de Grande Bretagne en 2011.
