Mark Coombs is a British businessman who has a net worth of $2.3 billion. Mark Coombs made his way up the billionaire circles after he founded fund management firm Ashmore Group, which makes investments in bonds, equities and currencies in various emerging economies like in Latin America and Asia and among others. A Cambridge law graduate, Coombs embarked on his career at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group.
