The founder of fashion retailer Pretty Little Thing has placed his staff into furlough - despite being worth £1bn. Tycoon Umar Kamani, 32, has put 86 members of staff at his Manchester-based company into furlough, while he enjoys a lavish lifestyle in Dubai.
Umar is one of many businesses who have decided to use the government's scheme which uses taxpayers money to pay 80 per cent of their wages.
But Mr Kamani doesn't appear to be phased by the lockdown or the decision to furlough his staff when he posted a photo on Instagram of his Dubai home, along with his girlfriend Nada Adelle, 26, on April 18, with the caption 'isolationship'.
