She paid herself £220,000On another note as I'm going through some articles ( so obvious they paid for most of them ), but how the F you are trusting with this sad excuse of a ceo about your own business since the genious already started by failing- pushing to opening café and deli just to close it with loss.
And now doing the same effing thing with pushing products that yes gave profit in 2018...but it was in fucking 2018. We are now in post pandemic inflation recession world conflict mess...I just don't get it! How you can voluntarily create your own failure
.mind blowing.

Her Dad was once famously the only Labour MP with a butler. Her Mum bought her a 1.75million flat upon leaving university. They own multiple properties, including a large country estate and multiple properties in London.The Sainsbury’s family sold their share in the business a long time ago and her mother or her are not directly involved. She has a trust fund and decent inheritance but no actual income or influence from/on the business itself
Yes all of this, from her message all you get is “I am a middle class girl whose ancestors started something big but we haven’t got much to do with that”.Her Dad was once famously the only Labour MP with a butler. Her Mum bought her a 1.75million flat upon leaving university. They own multiple properties, including a large country estate and multiple properties in London.
They also got married in Mustique where, again, her family own property (to point out this is a private island and renting a property there is in the $50,000-100,000 range per week.
Futhermore the Sainsbury family do not run Sainsburys anymore, however, they do still own large amounts of shares in the company.
So yeah. Her message there is to try and make herself look like the girl next door. She isn’t. She’s massively privileged beyond anything we can imagine.
I mean it’s blatantly obvious she asked that question herself and it’s clear she has been reading these threads based on her latest changes in posts and stories and her personal branding.Her Dad was once famously the only Labour MP with a butler.

The toxic positivity is strong with her!Spoken as someone who doesn’t have to worry about paying their bills, the rising cost of living, a long commute and getting to childcare in time…
She is a Sainsbury’s heiress though, as she’s an heir to the Sainsbury’s fortune.I mean it’s blatantly obvious she asked that question herself and it’s clear she has been reading these threads based on her latest changes in posts and stories and her personal branding.
Where they both come from is very relevant, but she does have one point: saying she is a Sainsbury’s heiress is wrong. Yes the family is rich and part of that is previous generations money made from Sainsbury’s. The family, altogether own very little of the company at this point. I looked into this briefly once because I was interested in what her mom is doing with her time.
Btw Labour MPs and their wealth… look at Corbyn… Woodward didn’t join Labour because he agreed with their politics but because he disagreed with the Tories at the time. If you check what the issue was, it’s not surprising.
Edited to add this: the Sainsbury’s family really does not hold large amounts of shares. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sainsbury_family
These issues with them are far more relevant than their connection to Sainsbury’sAnd is it a coincidence that her product range appeared in sainsbury market chain ?
For me whatever she says or tries to imply, she is privileged AF . They are both detached from reality and struggles of everyday life. And sorry Ella to ruined your delusional dreams bit your fake arse "creamy" yogurt is not a revolution for "healthy living".
Gloryfing 24x7 work either. They are both the epitome of what's wrong with privileged rich society.
The only reason he was a Labour mp was because he famously left the tories in protest about their stance on gay rights,in no way was he actually a Labour supporterHer Dad was once famously the only Labour MP with a butler.

And this was literally the only move to make without ending his political career… because taking a stance is only acceptable to these people if it doesn’t actually hurt them or impact their livesThe only reason he was a Labour mp was because he famously left the tories in protest about their stance on gay rights,in no way was he actually a Labour supporter
She is completely disingenuous. She knows exactly what that question was really driving at, and tries to wriggle out of it on a technicality. I used to like ella, but the level of inauthenticty and duplicity is staggering. Her bars are so unhealthy (Nakd bars are much better, nutritionally), her family is rich beyond measure (anyone in Sunday Times Rich List is obviously so much more than 'privileged'), and also find her smugness deeply irritating. Not everyone has the household staff, money, and means to simply have a day with no plans and a bath in the morning, Ella. For someone who complains how little time she has to spend with her kids, I also find it interesting how often she just plonks them in front of the telly (they always seem to be watching Peter Rabbit when they're with her).Is she seriously trying to insinuate her mothers name / the family connections haven’t opened doors. Let alone the advantage she’s had in eye-watering wealth and privilege she’s been raised with.
It’s really irrelevant that the supermarket chain isn’t still in family hands.
Exactly, not even acknowledging that her career wS only able to start because she had a beautiful home to film in as a background. In just a very basic sense she would never have been able to become as successful as she was initially. Matt seems like the kind of boss who would be like Elon musk, not letting his workers wfh even when it clearly is possible nowadays, no pay rise while he and Ella earn god knows how much, making a show of working all hours, even on holiday, to imply he is so important he cannot step away at allShe is completely disingenuous.

I don't think she is at all oblivious, her replies are very thought out. As people have said, she acts as if she has grown up in comfortable middle class family, rather than someone whose family are in the times rich list. Or is this her view of what "comfortable" means? Especially now comfortable is basically just being able to pay rent and bills, and at some pont this winter putting on the heatingPlus as we know, wealth begets wealth, that’s why these mega-rich families have different branches with various sources of wealth. Eg Getty Images is hugely successful in its own right but would not have been started without the family wealth and connections.
In any case Ella has carefully worded the question in a leading way ‘a supermarket giant heir’ - ok she’s not a Sainsbury’s plc heir but she is a Sainsbury heir, no question.
I’m simply amazed she didn’t make it clear that it’s the Qataris who control Sainsbury’s now. How did they get the controlling share? Someone must have sold it to them right? So how did the Sainsbury family become so philanthropic they could “give away” billions of pounds? (“Give away” - set up wings of the National Gallery, Tate etc and name it after yourself)
Her obliviousness to the unbelievable advantages she’s had in life is off the scale (despite trite proclamations of being ‘very lucky’ - what an understatement). If she had one iota of how many people live they would start by treating their employees so much better.
She probably has a reputation management / PR firm involved. Her last few Q&A’s were all “manufactured”I don't think she is at all oblivious, her replies are very thought out.
