George's bully boys: Oozing entitlement, a young Osborne poses with Oxford's infamous Bullingdon Club in a newly discovered
photo. But who were they?

It’s an image dripping with privilege — scions of the wealthy laying claim to their place at the top of the social pyramid.

No wonder Tories have been keen to downplay this new picture of Chancellor George Osborne posing in 1993 with Oxford University’s
elite Bullingdon Club, notorious for its drink-fuelled excess.

Today, we reveal the identities of his fellow members - two MPs, six bankers and ten Old Etonians - who continue to dominate society’s
upper echelons



1. Rupert Cotterell: The grandson of the 6th Baron Camoys, he learnt to fly while studying architectural history at Oxford and was
likened to Biggles because of his appearance.

Described as having ‘boundless enthusiasm’, he returned to his family’s manor house in rural Dorset after graduation and still lives in the
area. Now 41 and married with three children, he helps run the family mail order food business, Cornucopia Foods.

2. Chris Coleridge: He is a descendant of the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, brother of Condé Nast managing director Nicholas Coleridge,
and son of Lloyds of London boss David Coleridge.

Chris studied history at Exeter College where, with financier Nat Rothschild, he launched a racy student newspaper called Rumpus which
featured a topless model, a ‘Page 7 fella’ and a guide on how to steal cars, which was frowned on by the local police.

George Osborne appeared on the magazine’s astrology page, wearing a wizard’s costume. In 2005 Coleridge founded V Water, which
sells vitamin-infused water. It was later sold to Pepsi. The 41-year-old recently moved to the U.S. to pursue a new business venture.

3. Nat Rothschild: The billionaire financier, 41, is the youngest of four children and, as the only boy, the future 5th Baron Rothschild. After
Eton, where contemporaries remember him as an unruly student, he studied history at Wadham College.

To his family’s horror, he met Kate Moss’s friend, model Annabelle Neilson, on a beach in India and when he was 23 they eloped to Las
Vegas and married. They partied hard, but after three years punctuated by explosive rows, they divorced. He later stopped drinking and
turned his life around, and is now tipped to become the richest ever Rothschild.

Already heir to a £750 million fortune, he also ran the Atticus hedge fund, which grew from £60 million in assets to a peak of £13 billion
before it was wound up three years ago.

The tax exile has homes in Manhattan, Paris and the Swiss ski resort of Klosters, and spends 750 hours each year in his private jet.
Last summer he celebrated his 40th birthday with a £1 million, three-day extravaganza in Porto Montenegro at the marina billed ‘the Monaco
of the Adriatic’. The guest list included politicians, such as Peter Mandelson, industrialists and celebrities.

4. Mark Petre: The son of the 18th Baron Petre, he was part of an aristocratic family who made their fortune during the Tudor dissolution
of the monasteries. After Oxford he became the editor of a glossy property magazine, International Homes.

In 2004 he was found dead, age 34, at his family’s stately home, Ingatestone Hall in Essex, while awaiting trial for driving under the influence
of drugs after his Mercedes hit a BMW. The sedative Tamazepam was in his bloodstream ‘in excess of the therapeutic dose’, but his death
was treated as ‘unsuspicious’.

5. Ed Harris: The Old Etonian studied modern languages at Christ Church. He now works in the City and is head of Asian equity sales at
Standard Chartered Bank in London.

6. William Nourse: He trained as an accountant after graduating in experimental psychology from Corpus Christi College. Since 2003, the Old
Etonian has worked for Deutsche Bank and is now based in Hong Kong.

Part of his job has also involved advising the National Bank of Greece. He has two children with his wife Annabel, who is the daughter of Lt
General Sir John Paul Foley.

7. Mani Boni: The Italian polo player has taken part in prestigious tournaments around Europe. He is also a successful entrepreneur who was
a founder of social travel site Roomsurfer.

8. Jo Johnson: The younger brother of London Mayor Boris Johnson, and son of politician Stanley Johnson, he graduated with a first in history
from Balliol College in 1994. After postgraduate studies in Europe, he worked at Deutsche Bank and later as a journalist at the Financial Times.

He is married to social affairs journalist Amelia Gentleman and they have two children. Johnson, 40, became a Tory MP in 2010 and is tipped for
fast-track promotion.

He declined to comment on the Bullingdon photograph — or why he is the only member of the club wearing grey trousers — and suggested
that all queries should be directed to George Osborne’s office.

9. Christopher Egerton-Warburton: He has been described as the ‘picture of worldly success’, ‘charming but ruthless’ and a rare example that
‘bankers can be a force for good’.

The descendant of a Baron, Egerton-Warburton read biochemistry at Christ Church and worked for Goldman Sachs for 14 years before
co-founding an investment banking firm specialising in sustainable projects in Africa and developing regions.

He was involved in the establishment of one of the largest charities in the UK which funds immunisation programmes in partnership with
government, and is a trustee for several charities.

He has described himself as lucky to be alive after breaking his neck when he was knocked off his bicycle last year. The married 41-year-old lives
in Pimlico, central London, and has two children, including a daughter with the middle name Lettice.

10. Lord Alexander Hope: The 41-year-old is the son of the 4th Marquess of Linlithgow. After graduation he became a merchant banker then
quit to join the art world. He worked at Christie’s and last year became director of the Art Inventory company.

His friend, Tory MP Louise Mensch, acknowledged his help in her 1999 chick-lit novel, Venus Envy. In 2008, he was named by Tatler magazine in
the top 100 most invited power partygoers alongside Boris Johnson and David and Samantha Cameron.

11. James Axtell: He attended Oxford’s exclusive Dragon School and Radley College, then took a degree in materials science, economics and
management at Trinity College. He worked in venture capital before helping to set up the Sainsbury’s Nectar loyalty programme. He is now a
director of a renewable energy company.

12. Dan Higgins: Son of Baron Higgins, a former Tory minister and Olympic athlete, and Dame Rosalyn Higgins QC, the ex-president of the
International Court of Justice and a senior legal adviser on the Chilcot Inquiry into the Iraq war.

Dan, 41, studied Politics, Philosophy and Economics at Oxford and later worked in wealth management for Merrill Lynch before becoming a partner
in hedge fund Fauchier Partners. The father of two lives in Notting Hill, a few streets from David Cameron’s townhouse.

The Prime Minister was in the Bullingdon in 1987, six years before Osborne. In 2009, with his TV producer wife, Jacqueline, Mr Higgins was invited
to a Conservatives’ premier political dinner at the Carlton Club, described by one newspaper as the ‘New Tory power brokers’ dinner.

13. paul Higgins: He attended Manchester Grammar School before studying at Trinity College, Oxford. Called to the Bar in 1996, he works in
Manchester specialising in personal injury and fraud cases.

14. Luke Bridgeman: second son of the 3rd Viscount Bridgeman, he became heir after the death of his older brother. He was educated at Eton and
graduated from New College with a double first in Classics and Russian. Now 41, he’s married with two children and works for private equity firm
Dawnay Day, running assets worth over $4billion.

15. Harry Mount: The son of baronet and Conservative politician Ferdinand Mount and a cousin of David Cameron, he initially worked as a banker
after graduating with a degree in classics from Magdalen College. He retrained to be a lawyer but quit and wrote a book, My Brief Career, on his two
years as a pupil barrister.

Formerly the New York correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, Harry, 41, is currently a freelance journalist who writes for the Mail among other papers.

16. George Osborne: The Chancellor, 41, is the eldest son of baronet Sir Peter Osborne, the founder of wallpaper merchants Osborne & Little. His
real name is Gideon but he has used his grandfather’s name George since the age of 13. He graduated with a 2:1 in modern history from Magdalen
College, Oxford, and also edited the university magazine Isis.

One issue was printed on hemp paper, made from the stems of cannabis plants. He is married to the novelist Frances Osborne and they have two
children, Luke and Liberty. Osborne has admitted regrets about his ‘Bully’ past: ‘It’s embarrassing looking at photos of yourself dressed up like a
penguin.’
