About Philip Green
  • Philip Green and his wife Cristina Green sit atop the embattled British retail empire Arcadia Group.
  • The once thriving business was forced to sell most of its best-known brands--including Topshop, Top Man and Dorothy Perkins--after it fell into bankruptcy in 2020.
  • The Greens have been vilified in Britain for their role in letting home retailer BHS collapse, which put pensions for 19,000 workers at risk in 2016.
  • Parliament voted to strip Green of his knighthood over a pension deficit scandal. However, he is still a knight; the vote was symbolic.
