The list has revealed the largest fall in the billionaire count in the guide’s 37-year history
The Sunday Times Rich List for 2025 has been released today, May 16. The list reveals the wealth of the richest people across the nation.
The list has revealed the largest fall in the billionaire count in the guide’s 37-year history. There are 350 people included on the list, with the minimum entry level flatlining at £350m. This means the number of billionaires has dropped for a third successive year.
The list consisting of the UK’s 350 most wealthy people, holds a staggering combined wealth of £7772.8bn. Included in the list of 350 are Sir Christopher Nolan, Sir Mick Jagger and Sir Elton John – among many other famous names.
Billionaire Hinduja family has topped the Sunday Times Rich List for the fourth consecutive year, despite a decline in their fortune. Gopi Hinduja and his family are behind the Indian conglomerate Hinduja Group. They recorded a wealth of £35.3bn.
Home Bargains billionaire Tom Morris remains the richest Scouser to have ever lived, according to the latest Sunday Times rich list. Tom Morris and family are the third richest people in the North West with wealth of £6.99bn, ranking them 26th nationally.
The discount Home Bargains chain that has given the Morris family their wealth began with one store – then called Home and Bargain – which opened in Old Swan in 1976. It was established by a then-21-year-old Tom, the son of a Scotland Road shopkeeper.
Regionally, Manchester United part-owner and chemical company INEOS CEO Sir Jim Ratcliffe is the richest person with £17bn, despite seeing a decrease by £6bn in the last 12 months.
New entrants this year include Tom and Phil Beahon, the brothers who launched Castore, the sporting brand worn by England’s rugby and cricket teams. They started the business from their parents’ Liverpool home, and have hit £350m.
The number of billionaires on the list fell from 165 to 156. Robert Watts, compiler of the Sunday Times Rich List, said: “The Sunday Times Rich List is changing. Our billionaire count is down and the combined wealth of those who feature in our research is falling. We are also finding fewer of the world’s super rich are coming to live in the UK.
“This year we were also struck by the strength of criticism for Rachel Reeves’s Treasury. We expected the abolition of non-dom status would anger affluent people from overseas. But homegrown young tech entrepreneurs and those running centuries-old family firms are also warning of serious consequences to a range of tax changes unveiled in last October’s budget.”
