The recently published Green Rich List the the Times Online puts forward 100 names of people who are rich and “green”:

The Green List has unearthed 100 tycoons or wealthy families worth £200m or more who have made either serious investments in green technology and businesses or hefty financial commitments to environmental causes. In total, the Green 100 are worth nearly £267 billion.

Where I found this list interesting is that many of the Chinese who are mentioned are not mentioned because of their investments, but because they are almost all involved in solar power.
