Sir David Yule, 1st Baronet (4 August 1858 – 3 July 1928) was a Scottish businessman based in British India.
David was educated in Britain and went into the family business, which was trade with India, then the "jewel in the crown" of the British Empire.
Among his other business interests were directorships of Midland Bank, Mercantile Bank of India, Vickers Limited, the Royal Exchange Assurance Company and ownership of the Daily Chronicle newspaper, which he purchased from Lloyd George.
The New York Times reported that his daughter inherited $100 000 000 on his death,[4] equivalent to $1.6 billion in 2022 money.
In 1925, the two women commissioned, as their family home, Hanstead House in Bricket Wood, Hertfordshire.
