Sunday Times Rich List 2025

The Sunday Times Rich List 2025 is the 37th annual survey of the wealthiest people resident in the United Kingdom, published by The Sunday Times online on 16 May 2025 and in print on 18 May 2025.[1][2]

The list was edited by Robert Watts who succeeded long-term compiler Philip Beresford in 2017.

He noted that "The Sunday Times's annual examination of the finances of Britain's most affluent individuals and families has been one of the toughest to compile due to Trump's tariffs and the ensuing stock market turbulence. The result is a stark reflection of the state of UK wealth. Falling fortunes have led many to drop off the list and others are no longer eligible, having fled Britain after Labour's non-dom crackdown."[1]

The list was widely reported by other media.[3][4][5]
