Sebastian Grigg, head of UK investment banking, Credit Suisse

Captured in white tie and tails alongside the prime minister in the infamous photograph of Oxford's Bullingdon club, Grigg, 45, is best known as a member of David Cameron's inner circle. Born the Hon Edward Sebastian Grigg, son of the 3rd Baron Altrincham, he fought unsuccessfully to win a parliamentary seat near Rochdale for the Conservatives in the 1997 general election. Lately, he has fundraised for fellow Bullingdon member Boris Johnson.

Since joining Credit Suisse as head of UK investment banking in 2007, he has worked cross-sector and alongside government. He earns a place in our top five for his decade at Goldman Sachs, where Goldman's private equity funds made several forays into media.
