The Sunday Times Rich List 2025 revealed156 billionaires this year, with UK-based Indian tycoon Gopi Hinduja and family retaining the top spot despite a £2 billion wealth drop to £35.304 billion. Their empire spans real estate, healthcare, and energy sectors.
Notable entries include King Charles III, whose fortune grew £30 million to match Rishi Sunak and his wife's £640 million combined wealth.
Amid global market volatility, the list underscores real estate resilience: 50 property moguls strengthened core assets, with leaders achieving growth. The Hindujas' flagship The OWO - a redeveloped former War Office - sold out immediately, validating the "prime location + legacy" formula.
Real estate titans David and Simon Reuben rank second with £26.8 billion through London offices, logistics parks, and northern regeneration projects.
Their success hinges on London's Prime Central London (PCL) logic: when capital markets fluctuate, Zone 1 remains the ultimate safe haven, driving global HNWIs to double down on core London assets.
