Thinking of changing your company's prices or terms? ⚠️
A follower asks: how should I do this without losing business?
Answer: Sample, test, then scale.
Get it wrong with everyone at once and you’re in trouble.
Small experiment now, big headaches avoided later.

Still takes my breath away.
Views as sublime as everything else at #LeProvencal.
This #Caudwell legacy project is the epitome of French Riviera living reimagined.

I'm delighted to be speaking at this year's Copenhagen Democracy Summit on 12 May 2026.

Heywood Hill is much more than Mayfair's independent village bookshop, located on Curzon Street since 1936. This "bookseller-to-the-stars" is also the leading purveyor of bespoke private libraries.
And it will now curate the magnificent reading room at Caudwell's #1Mayfair.
It's a genuine relief to see the world step back from the brink in Iran. But for how long? My thoughts. ⤵️

Are my team trying to turn me ‘woke’? 🤨
Should managers talk less about goals and more about impact? As Female Fusion Network's founder suggests here.
Let’s get real.
Of course, impact matters, but however you try to reframe what you’re doing, goals are *essential*.
I wish I'd known my mother Beryl when she was a girl.
I found these incredible childhood photos of Mum when I was preparing my autobiography and my team has now brought them to AI animated life.
She would have been have been 103 today. 🎂
Miss you, Mum. ❤️
I've shared this on 1 April in the past. But it has never seemed more apt than this year. Do you agree?
How does all this unbelievable and relentless global turmoil affect you? #AprilFoolsDay
I know my children enjoy advantages that 99% of other children never will. But I strive to ensure that they're not spoiled.

After our Rodeo Drive run-in, I sat down #theschoolofhardknocks team for a more in-depth talk about building businesses and wealth.
They seemed particularly interested in how to avoid hiring monkeys, big and small. 🙈🙊🙉
Loyalty versus ability. Which do you value more highly?
"Why does a billionaire drive a 12-year-old Renault Clio?" I hear some of you asking. 🚘
In business and in life, I admire *anything* that's best in class.
So what's best in class about the Clio?
I can only speak for myself, but I find it extremely satisfying. Here's why.
I started work young. And at Phones 4U, our stores often provided teens with their first job.
Today, fewer than 1 in 5 16- to 17-year-olds work. Down from nearly half 25 years ago.
The loss of Saturday jobs is the topic of my latest @cityam.bsky.social column. ⤵️

This year’s #ForbesBillionaires list once again smashes records, but not in the way I wish it would.
I urge all on the list to do two things to help make the world a better place:
1️⃣ Join the Giving Pledge.
2️⃣ Pay your taxes.

I founded #CaudwellYouth in 2022 because I want more young people to fulfil their potential. Mentoring works!
The charity's new five-year Going National strategy aims to expand the programmes countrywide.

#CountryHouseObsession continues an extensive tour of Broughton Hall, my family home in Staffordshire for over 30 years.
Look inside the Great Hall. "Original to the Stuart period house of 1637, it has been modified, extended and gentrified over the centuries." #statelyhomes
#CharityTuesday flashback to last year’s Butterfly Ball at The Dorchester in aid of @caudwellchildren.bsky.social, which assists disabled children and their families.
An unforgettable night with #PalomaFaith and #SisterSledge.
🎟️ Save the date for our next gala: 18 June 2026.
Four years on. 🇺🇦
Incredible to remember how small my son William was at the start of Putin's full-scale invasion.
He's now growing up fast alongside the child of the Ukrainian refugee family we rehomed in Staffordshire. #StandWithUkraine 💙💛
My London home Mayfair House is just a few minutes’ walk from my property company #Caudwell’s super-prime luxury development #1Mayfair. ✨
I’ve always appreciated this rooftop view. 🏗️
Note: I filmed this clip quite awhile ago. Much progress has been made since!
My beautiful daughters. 😍🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️
People ask why I choose stress and sacrifice over an easy life. I saw my destiny at the age of seven – it’s hung like a Damocles sword over me ever since.
🎧 As I told Steven Bartlett on #DiaryofaCEO.
Pushing my limits with this VO2 max test. 🚴♀️🥵
This is the ultimate gauge of aerobic firepower and longevity as I gear up for L'Etape du Tour 2026’s brutal 170km Alpine beast, packing 5,400m of climbing over icons like Col du Galibier.
There are no shortcuts at the age of 73.

How would you caption these graveyard snaps? 🪦
Not dead yet?! 👻
But I’m sure you can do better.

Am I a difficult to work for? Undoubtedly! Though I always strive to be fair and to reward those who achieve.
When building businesses, you have to set incredibly high standards.

A report in medical journal @thelancet.com lays out the scale of the harms that Ultra Processed Foods (UPFs) wreak on public health and they now comprise 50% of household food intake.
In my own home, I try to guard against this, but it's hard.
#CaudwellChildren's brilliant short film "My Potential, My Way", featuring neurodivergent and disabled children, has been nominated for the annual Smiley Charity Film Awards.

What makes someone a “good billionaire”?
How many are there? And how many of them were at Davos last week?! 🤔
I’ll be honest, though I obviously aim to be one, I don’t know many others myself. But they do exist! #AskJC #goodbillionaire
“Greedy scum hoarding wealth"… yet planning to give 70% of it away. Awkward. 😬
If I were global dictator, I probably *would* take more from the rich and give it to the poor – starting with me.
Parasite or philanthropist? You decide.

Broughton Hall, my family home in Staffordshire for 30+ years, is much more than just a house to me. The first time I spied it through the gates I felt like it was calling me.
#CountryHouseObsession visited this week and has produced this stunning snapshot. #statelyhomes
#MichaelDell, the American billionaire and founder of Dell Technologies, has pledged $6.25 billion to help start savings accounts at $250 apiece for 25 million children across the US.
It's unbelievably generous, but I think it's a misguided decision. #CharityTuesday
Would you ever become a cattle farmer? 🐄
I certainly never expected to!! 🤠
This is what happened. ⤵️ And they are beautiful, aren't they? 🐮
