These are the 10 richest people in the UK. But The Sunday Times Rich List has revealed that Britain’s super-rich have lost more than £54 billion in the past two months amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The combined wealth of the UK’s 1,000 richest people has plummeted for the first time since the financial crash, with some billionaires counting losses of up to £6 billion since last year, it adds.
The list says that a number of billionaires have also sought to use the Government’s emergency furlough scheme. The scheme sees staff paid 80% of their salary by the state up to £2,500 a month and was recently extended by Rishi Sunak.
