So who makes the Rich List?

The Duke and his family, who last year sold a stake in one of their Mayfair portfolios to Norwegian investors, are worth £9.8 billion according to the 2025 edition of The Sunday Times Rich List.

Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe was named the richest person in the region overall, despite losing over £6.4 billion this year. The Ineos founder and chairman is still worth a staggering £17.046bn.
