What's the story?

It's been said that although they're not an obvious match, they are well suited.

It does seem the shaven-headed former Scottish sprint star-turned-uberbanker Roger Jenkins and his new girlfriend, the former supermodel-turned-businesswoman Elle Macpherson, below, are mutually attracted.

Perhaps they share a love of megabucks. Jenkins, 56, who in his youth represented Scotland and Great Britain from 1973 to 1978, is one of the world's wealthiest men, said to be worth around £300 million. In his former role as head of Barclays' tax-planning business he earned £49m a year and a reputation as being the saviour of the ailing bank after jointly brokering a deal to bring £8 billion of Middle Eastern investment. He later joined BTG Pactual, Brazil's largest independent investment bank, and his stake in its stock market flotation last month was valued at a whopping £195m.
