The overall wealth of the 350 richest in the list is greater than the gross domestic product of Poland, but the number of billionaires in the UK has dropped. While some leave, others join - among them Sir Paul McCartney, who is now Britain's first musician in the billionaire club.

Rishi Sunak has overtaken the King in the latest Sunday Times Rich List. The personal fortune of the prime minister and his wife Akshata Murty has soared by more than £120m over the past year - to a total of £651m, according to the newspaper's calculations. In contrast, the King's wealth grew from £600m to £610m over the same period.

Among those falling out of the billionaire club is Stephen Fitzpatrick, who owns OVO, one of the biggest energy firms in the UK. The Sunday Times reports he made a £1.3bn loss since last year, while his shares in his flying taxi venture are down 60%.
