This year’s Sunday Times Rich List has seen new celebs enter the list for the first time and one music icon earn £385m more than King Charles.
For the first time, there has been the largest fall in the number of billionaires in the guide’s 37-year history, going from a peak of 177 in 2022 to 156 this year. Those making it onto this year’s list needed to scrape by on at least £350million.
Topping the list is Indian-born British businessman Gopi Hinduja and his family, with a wealth put at £35.billion. King Charles made it to 238rd on the list, with his estimated fortune risen from £610million to £640million.
In the world of showbiz, five big names made it ahead of the King. As co-founder of the Virgin Group, businessman-turned-celebrity Sir Richard Branson and family raked in an impressive £2.419bn, putting him at number 72 on the list.
It makes him the highest earning big name and Richard is closely followed by motorsport star Bernie Ecclestone and his family with £2bn income.
Heading down the list to number 145 sees Lord Sugar as The Apprentice star and businessman has a cool £1.101bn to his name. Just six spots down from Lord Sugar, sees the first music star.
Sir Paul McCartney and wife Nancy McCartney have hit the billionaire status as they have a staggering £1.025bn. Entering into the millionaires, sees Harry Potter author JK Rowling at spot number 169 with £945m.
Now for those falling under the King’s wealth, Victoria and David Beckham had a good year as they hit the £500m mark. The Spice Girl-turned-fashion designer and football icon have had a tough time of late with their ongoing public fallout with eldest son Brooklyn.
