Malcolm Walker, founder of the Iceland frozen food chain, had an estimated fortune of £265 million, according to a 2019 Sunday Times Rich List report. He continues to be involved in business interests, including food manufacturing and property, as of late 2024.
He has three grown-up children and eight grandchildren, and lives near Chester. Malcolm has many other business interests ranging from food manufacturing to restaurants and property. Outside work, his greatest enthusiasms are for his home, garden and family, good food and wine, ski-ing, sailing and shooting.

Iceland saw it profits increase 0.6% to £317.6m in the financial year ending in March, down from 24% in the year prior. The frozen food retailer's revenue remained flat year-over-year at £4.2bn, despite sales rising by 3%, according to a report by The Telegraph.
