Hm, while I see that your point might well have some validity (I'm fairly cynical) I seem to remember it being valued at likely much more than the £50m price tag, were it to go to auction.
Maybe the chap needs the money (on some level at least), not all these titled folk have as much as one might think, often it is all tied up in inherited Grade I listed real estate which they can't fix up because they have no readies. Until I hear otherwise I'm giving a little benefit of the doubt.
