Early life
Ashley Daniel Tabor was born to a Jewish family[1] in May 1977,[2] the son of Doreen and Michael Tabor, who made his fortune through bookmaking, horsebreeding and property.[3]
Career
Tabor-King once worked for Simon Cowell.[4]
In 2008, with cash provided by his father and other lenders, he took over GCap Radio, the group behind Capital Radio and Classic FM, and founded Global.[4]
In 2016 Global launched a new school, Global Academy, to prepare young people aged 14-18 for a career in broadcast and digital media, covering creative, technical and business skills, to help reduce the barriers to entry for young people entering the media industry. On 20 April 2017, the Academy was officially opened by the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry in their capacity as patrons of "Heads Together", a mental health charity. Two breakfast shows from Global radio stations were broadcasting live from the Academy: Heart London Breakfast with Jamie Theakston, and Emma Bunton and Nick Ferrari on LBC.[5]
Honours
Tabor-King was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire in the 2017 Birthday Honours[6][7] and Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2024 New Year Honours for services to media and entertainment.[8][9]
Personal life
Tabor-King is married to George Tabor-King.[10] Tabor-King has lived in The Knightsbridge Apartments complex since 2006, in an apartment he bought for £15 million.[11] In 2017 he bought the next-door apartment for £90 million.[11] In October 2017, Westminster City Council's planning department turned down his plan to combine the two apartments, which would have created a ten-bedroom penthouse estimated to be worth £200 million.[11] Following the rejection of his planning application to amalgamate the two units, Tabor-King submitted a planning application for the installation of two internal doors, creating a separation lobby between apartments.[12] This plan was approved in June, allowing Tabor-King to combine the two units into one larger apartment. A subsequent planning application in February 2019 added further internal doors between the two apartments.[13] Now complete, the apartment consists of 10 bedroom suites, two kitchens, a laundry room, two living rooms, a cinema, a play room and a gym.[14] The apartment is now estimated Шаблон:By whom to be the second most expensive property in the UK, only behind 2-8a Rutland Gate.
Tabor-King also owns a mansion in Los Angeles. The site was purchased from Megan Ellison, daughter of Larry Ellison, for $26.25 million. Tabor-King also owns a $21 million apartment in Barbados.
