Shares - Hats off to Simon Wolfson, CEO of high street clothing and homewares colossus Next. Under his stewardship, the FTSE 100 retailer has generated a ten-year total return of 487.4%, turning an original investment of £14,600 a decade ago into shares worth £75,450 today. Over the decade, the prodigiously cash-generative retailer has also paid out £10,310 in dividends to take the total return to a staggering £85,760.

Another 60p back to investors in November.

So that is a special dividend of 50p in Feb, 60p in May and 60p in August as said 60p in Nov.
