See 2022 Rich List of Wealthiest People In The UK

Below is a rich list of the wealthiest people in the UK in 2022.

Gatekeepers News reports that billionaire brothers Sri and Gopi Hinduja are currently topping the annual list of the wealthiest people in the UK.

This was disclosed in the 2022 Sunday Times Rich List.

The duo, who run the Mumbai-based conglomerate Hinduja Group, saw their fortune jump by more than £11 billion to £28.47 billion.

Thereafter, Dyson vacuum entrepreneur James Dyson and his family moved up to second in the list after a £6.7 billion increase to £23 billion.

Property investors David and Simon Reuben followed as the third with £22.26 billion.

However, Ukrainian-born Sir Leonard Blavatnik dropped from top spot to fourth.

Similarly, Roman Abramovich slipped out of the top 20 and fellow Russians Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman dropped down the list after the value of their assets was hammered by financial measures in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Chancellor Rishi Sunak became the first frontline politician to make the list this year. He and his wife Akshata Murty appeared at 222 in the list with the joint forecast of £730 million, driven by Ms Murty’s £690 million stake in Infosys.

According to the figures, the richest 250 in the UK this year are worth £710.72 billion, compared to £658.09 billion in 2021, an 8 per cent rise on last year.
