Billionaires fall as King rises in latest Sunday Times Rich List
- The Sunday Times Rich List 2025 shows the biggest fall in UK billionaires with the number dropping to 156 from 165 last year.

- The individual responsible for assembling the Rich List noted a decline in both the number of billionaires and their total wealth, highlighting significant worries expressed by entrepreneurs and long-established family businesses regarding recent tax reforms.
