Robert Watts, compiler of The Sunday Times Rich List, said: “Our 40 under 40 list showcases many of the country’s brightest stars from the worlds of tech, fashion, music and sport. Almost all of these people built their fortunes themselves and their number includes some who left school with few, if any, qualifications.
“A third of our list didn’t attend university. At least 11 of our entries were born overseas, underlining the draw our country continues to hold for ambitious, talented young stars to build their reputations and businesses.
“We know many of our readers find the stories inspiring of how the entrepreneurs featured built their ventures. It will be fascinating to watch which of this year’s line-up will prosper in the years ahead.”
Meanwhile, the overall Rich List showed David and Victoria Beckham now have a huge £500 million fortune.
For the fourth year in a row, Gohi Hinduja and family topped the list, though the investors shared net worth of £35.304 billion is down by £1.892 billion from last year’s survey.
The family were followed in the list by real estate moguls David and Simon Reuben, with an estimated wealth of £26.9 billion, investor Sir Leonard Blavatnik, entrepreneur Sir James Dyson and shipping tycoon Idan Ofer.
Just 156 billionaires made this year’s list, a drop from the 177 who were named in 2022.
The 350 richest people in the UK are identified through assets such as art and racehorses, shared in public ompanies, identifiable wealth like land and property, but the data does not include bank account figures.
