The Sunday Times Rich List 2015 represents the 27th consecutive annual compilation of the wealthiest individuals residing in the United Kingdom, released by The Sunday Times on 26 April 2015.
According to The Guardian, the aggregate fortune of the UK’s top 1,000 richest individuals has more than doubled over the previous ten years, surpassing £547 billion, with a threshold net worth of £100 million required for inclusion.
This year’s list notably excludes Queen Elizabeth II from the top 300 for the first time since the survey began in 1989. She had previously ranked first in the original list, with an estimated net worth of £5.2 billion, which encompassed state-owned assets.
