The businessman, dubbed The Boss, has a multi-million pound seafront home on the Caribbean island, where he spends much of his time despite recently acquiring the Sutton Scotney Estate in Hampshire, which includes 23 houses and 4,200 acres of land, for an estimated £52m.
Magnier is married to Susan, the daughter of Irish racehorse-trainer Vincent O'Brien, and they have five children.
He has a property portfolio that stretches from a £30m beach-front pad in Marbella, which was once rented to former Manchester United, Real Madrid and England star David Beckham, and the 18th-century Cashel Palace Hotel in County Tipperary, which he bought for an estimated £2.25m.
Magnier also has an interest in the exclusive Sandy Lane Resort in Barbados.
He also has a stunning art collection, including a £70m Modigliani painting and a £25m Sir Joshua Reynolds portrait.
