A follower asks: How would I like to be remembered?

I’d hope people will remember me with admiration and respect. If that’s the case, I’ve achieved everything I wanted.

As for my tombstone? 🪦🎥 Watch to find out.

Happy Halloween! 🎃👻💀

Flashback to a spooky Halloween party we held two years ago. Can you recognise Modesta? Or our two little pumpkins?! 🎃🎃

Are you going to any parties this weekend? What are you dressing up as?

A follower asks: Do you get better at business as you get older?

Well, speaking for myself, yes.

But...

Could I (would I?!) be able to build a business empire again? That’s a different question.

And one I answer honestly here. #AskJC #business

It’s heartening to see rare scenes of joy and relief from both Gaza and Israel today.

I hope that this ceasefire will lead to lasting peace.

Credit must go to Trump and his team for leveraging US power for good here.

🕊️ Are you feeling hopeful about what happens next?

British racing driver and disability advocate #NicolasHamilton, younger brother of #LewisHamilton, is so inspiring.

Modesta and I look forward to reuniting with Nicolas at Butterfly Ball Monaco, which he's co-hosting this year for @caudwellchildren.bsky.social. 🦋💜 #charity

Any Below Deck fans? 🛥️

Here’s a trip below deck with the crew of my superyacht Titania, one of the world’s most successful charter yachts.

And the crew are rewarded handsomely for their efforts.

Could a career in yachting be right for you?

"And you may ask yourself, 'Well, how did I get here?'" 🎶

(Can you name the song and band?)

Look who I encountered in London's Grosvenor Square the other day... and guess who he reminded me of? 🇺🇸🇬🇧

🎥 Watch to hear the poem I once wrote about the Ronald Reagan-Margaret Thatcher alliance.

How different do you think current affairs would be if those two leaders were in charge now?

I reached this point many decades ago, but I think the realisation becomes ever more poignant in our current turbulent times.

My condolences go out to all those in Manchester, Gaza, Ukraine and elsewhere who are grieving and suffering today.

💔 if you agree.

It’s still eight weeks to go until the Autumn Budget, but speculation is rife, especially with Labour Party conference this week.

Is the UK economy reaching a tipping point? Or should we expect long-term stagnation?

I shared my prediction with @skynewsrss.bsky.social 📺.

What an extraordinary turnaround from Trump! 😯

I welcome it, of course. I’ve been saying for 3.5 years we must support Ukraine until they win. 🇺🇦

It's the only way to deal with a bully like Putin.

Will strong words now lead to strong actions?

Can you guess which of my organisations this photo relates to? 👷‍♂️

Unless you follow me very very closely on social media, you may be surprised...

More news soon.

In the meantime, any witty caption suggestions to raise a smile?

Will you get rich if you just stop drinking and get nine hours sleep? 🍻😴

My team tell me @iman-gadzhi.bsky.social is a very successful guy and, at just 25, already a committed philanthropist - which I applaud. 👏

As for this piece of advice, I’m living proof that it’s nonsense!

🌅 Tune into @lbc.co.uk at 7.40am when I'll talk to Nick Ferrari ahead of tonight's public launch of the new #CaudwellStrongBritain research report, written by @mannvirdee.bsky.social from @congeostrategy.bsky.social.

The aim? Attracting more investment into 🇬🇧.

Ahead of the public launch at Parliament on Monday, @congeostrategy.bsky.social and I held a private reception at my London home Mayfair House to launch the latest Caudwell Strong Britain report.

This year's research, written by Dr Mann Virdee, looks at how to attract more foreign investment to UK.

With Russia's overnight drones into Poland, we are closer to World War III than we've ever been since the Cuban Missile Crisis, or maybe even since Hitler's invasion of Poland in September 1939.

Should they stay or should they go?

Is the millionaire exodus really happening? And what’s the morality behind the decision for a wealthy individual?

📞 I discussed on my recent LBC phone-in with Tom Swarbrick.

For the record, I have no intention of leaving! 🇬🇧

What do you think when you see this photo? 🇷🇺🇨🇳🇰🇵

One of the many extraordinary scenes from Beijing this week.

What does it mean for Western governments and economies?

Great Conde Nast coverage for #Caudwell's Le Provençal and the five-star concierge services, private beach and Michelin dining access that residents receive through our partnership with our esteemed neighbour Hotel Belles Rives.

This year's Budget is now confirmed for 26 November. What do you want to see coming out of The Chancellor's red box? 🟥

✨ In property, space planning isn’t just about making things *fit* - it’s about making them work. And it's the foundation of great design.

This hotel I came across in China is a masterclass in how NOT to do it.

At my property company Caudwell, we obsess over every detail.

What would you do?

You have the chance to renegotiate terms totally favourable to you with one of your main distributors, a household name retailer that just lost contracts with your two biggest competitors.

Do the deal and make a fortune? 💷
Or walk away?

💷 Is billionaire a dirty word?
💷 Do rich people primarily hoard wealth or create it?

Versions of this question came up a lot during my @lbc.co.uk phone-in with @tomswarbrick.bsky.social.

While I agree the rich-poor divide needs rebalancing, our attitude to wealth in the UK really holds us back. 🇬🇧
