About Me

Brothers David and Simon Reuben built a fortune in real estate and technology. In 2016, they sold 49% of their data center business, GlobalSwitch, to a consortium of Chinese investors for nearly $3 billion. They sold a further 25% of the business in 2018 to a consortium of Asian institutional and private investors for $2.7 billion. The brothers were born in Mumbai and raised in the U.K., where David started off trading metals and Simon imported carpets and bought real estate. The Reuben family owns an estimated 14% of Premier League's Newcastle United F.C. David's son Jamie serves as a director for the football club. Their firm Transworld, a metals trader, invested in Russia and Kazakhstan in the 1990s and was active in trading aluminum.
