Sir Ridley, 73, directed last year’s epic £90m version of Robin Hood. Since 1977, his films, including Gladiator and Hannibal, have grossed about £1.5 billion. Tony, 66, his brother, has since 1983 grossed about £500m by making films such as Top Gun and Enemy of the State. The two Hollywood superstars, from South Shields, also mix advertising work with movies. Ridley Scott Associates, known for its Hovis ads, was set up more than 40 years ago and achieved sales worth £21m in 2009. The pair have properties in London and Los Angeles.
