Each year, the Rich List special edition of The Sunday Times Magazine reveals the wealth of the 250 richest people in Britain.
This year has seen the number of billionaires fall for the third time in three years, from a peak of 177 in 2022 to 156 this year.
There’s still a huge amount of wealth though - the 350 individuals and families on the list have a combined wealth of £772.8 billion.
That’s three per cent down on last year but is still a sum larger than the annual GDP of Switzerland.
In Scotland, retail magnate Anders Holch Povlsen topped the list with a fortune of £7.704 billion - but that was only enough to place him 23rd overall.
He’s got a bit of work to do to catch up with these 11 billionaires - the richest in Britain.
The full list can be seen in the Sunday Times published this weekend, or here.
