Lavish lifestyle that came with the job
GARY Mulgrew and his closest lieutenants enjoyed a lavish lifestyle from their lucrative relationship with Enron in Houston, Texas. The high living and womanising was even fictionalised in a book written by one of them, entitled The Pursuit of Happiness - Overpaid, Oversexed and Over There.
Mulgrew was one of a party of 30 whom Enron flew to Chamonix in the French Alps for a ski-ing holiday punctuated by drinking sprees. His employer Greenwich NatWest, now part of Royal Bank of Scotland, returned the favour by taking Enron executives to a Houston lap dancing club.
Mulgrew, 40, is a six-foot Glaswegian who once worked as a bouncer. He is the son of Tricia Godman, a member of the Scottish Parliament, and stepson of Norman Godman, the former MP for Greenock and Inverclyde. He took a team of 30 with him when he moved from Greenwich to Royal Bank of Canada.
He is reported to have spent lavishly entertaining at the Carnegie Club, the exclusive retreat based at Peter de Savary's Skibo Castle near Dornoch in Sutherland.
Giles Darby, who lives in a £1m home in Broxbourne, Herts, now works with a small Wiltshire firm, Bohan Engineering. He declined to comment today: 'I would just refer you to the RBC statement,' he said. David Bermingham has a £2m home in Goringon-on-Thames and is said to work in film finance.
