Mike Ashley’s 29-year-old future son-in-law has earned more than £10 million from Sports Direct in two years, making him better paid than most FTSE 100 chief executives, despite the chain halving in value over that time.
Michael Murray, who is engaged to Mr Ashley’s daughter, Anna, was hired in 2015 as a consultant to run the company’s property division and is now in charge of its “elevation strategy”, designed to make the discount retailer more appealing to younger shoppers.
