Mark's prize was valued, in 1995, at around £22.5 million, a amountvery tall. This amount was shared with his friend and business partner Paul Maddison.
According to Mark, it was at that moment that “hell began”, because, checking the lottery ticket, an acquaintance called the local press to witness what happened.
According to the British Journal, Mark no longer has contact with Paul, a friend of his who lives virtually in reclusion and lives in a mansion in Scotland with six bedrooms. He claims that other friendships have drifted apart over time, which is why he now prefers his small group of friends.
Furthermore, he stated, “Nobody talks to me. Having so much money made me suspicious of people's intentions. It's horrible, but when someone is being nice, it crosses my mind why they're having that attitude, if it's really genuine or is it interest, ”he said.
He also told the newspaper that he was married four times, but that, in 2004, he separated from his last wife and chose never to marry again.
Mark currently owns two homes in Barbados and has luxury cars. With his fortune he also bought two football clubs, a cruise ship and boats.
