Thomas Hopkins NPG 3212

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Sir Godfrey Kneller, Bt

The financier Thomas Hopkins made vast sums of money by giving loans to needy noblemen and by charging very high rates of interest. This made him very useful to the Whig party. They appointed him Commissioner of the Salt Duties - which allowed him to increase his fortune still further. When he died he was worth over two hundred thousand pounds, about twenty five million pounds in today's money.
