Inventor Sir James Dyson is the richest person in the UK for the first time, according to the Sunday Times Rich List.

The Brexit-backing entrepreneur saw his wealth grow by £3.6 billion over the past year, climbing to £16.2 billion.

In February, it was expected the number of billionaires would rise to nearly 160, but it fell by four to 147 as the coronavirus pandemic took hold, the Sunday Times said.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe was also on the list (Martin Rickett/PA).

Rich List 2020: The coronavirus pandemic has wiped £54bn from the wealth of Britain’s super-rich in the past two months, the Sunday Times Rich List reveals today

Discover the full list, extended profiles, graphics, facts and figures on our website nowhttps://t.co/MggSQGS4pc pic.twitter.com/OAeBhCSq9O

List compiler Robert Watts said: “Ever since the financial crisis of 2008-9, Britain’s wealthiest people have become richer and richer.

“Covid-19 has called time on their golden period. This year’s rich list paints a picture of Britain on the brink of calamity – two months after lockdown and already billions of pounds have been wiped out.

“You may not like the super-rich, but it is hard to deny that our economy will need the jobs they create and the taxes they and their companies pay if we are to escape a prolonged recession that causes further misery to millions.”

The full list covering the wealthiest 1,000 people in the UK will be published on Sunday in a 136-page edition of The Sunday Times Magazine.
