UK billionaire wealth explodes amid devastation of the working class
Sunday Times Rich List. This is the biggest jump since 1989, when the
Sunday Times began cataloguing the fortunes of the UK’s super-rich.
The Rich List comprises the 1,000 wealthiest people or families resident in the United Kingdom ranked by their net wealth. The list is not limited to British citizens and includes individuals and families born overseas but who predominantly work and/or reside in the UK.
