UK Rich List 2025: Fortune of King Charles rises £ 30 million, the benefits of Infosys dip dent Sunak; Hindujas, reubens lead a shrinking billionaire pack

King Charles III and former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak have found himself together, not in politics, but in pounds. Both now worth the estimated £ 640 million, earning 238th position in the 2025 Sunday Times Rich List released on Friday. This list, which tracks the UK’s 350 wealthiest individuals and families, reveals a dramatic reshuffle at the top, and indications of financial disturbance through the elite.At the age of 76, King Charles climbed 20 spots from the previous year, raising profits from the Crown Estate Wind Farm Deal, which doubled the returns and promoted the sovereign grant that gives money to royal activities. Nevertheless, most royal property, including Buckingham Palace, stay away from books because they are “owned by the Crown”, not individually. His personal money includes Balmoral and Sandringham Estates, as well as an investment portfolio inherited by Queen Elizabeth II.Meanwhile, Sunak’s political exit has not put his bank balance too much. The former PM has played a part -time role at Stanford University and has joined the attractive Washington Speakers Bureau. His wife, Akshat Murthy, continues to draw dividends from Infosys, last year, £ 7.5 million, although the recent slide of tech stocks shaved at some value. Despite this, the couple’s fate became enough to pursue them from the 245th place of last year.Indians dominate the topThe Hinduja family holds the crown at the top for a fourth straight year, with an estimated £ 35.3 billion, even after a dip £ 2 billion. He was followed by another Indian -origin pair, David and Simon Ruben, who climbed number 2 with £ 26.87 billion.Lakshmi Mittal, Steel Magnet, no. With 8 £ 15.44 billion, Anil Aggarwal of Vedanta Resource sits at number 25 with £ 7.5 billion. Also in the list: Prakash Lohia (No. 31, £ 6.02 BN), Mohsin and Zubar Isa of Asda and Easy Group (No. 32, £ 6BN), and Naveen and Varsha Engineer (No. 48, £ 3.45 BN). Arora Bhai and Lord Swaraj Paul are also among the top 100.Billions in retreatBut not everyone was included in it. The 2025 list saw the fastest decline in billionaire numbers in its 37 -year history, which was from 165 to 156 last year.“It was one of the most difficult versions to compile,” List Compiler Robert Watts said, Donald Trump’s tariff and market volatility. “This is the third straight year of decline of collective money, and we have ever recorded the biggest decline in UK billionaires.”In a rapidly unstable economy, it seems that the richest is also not immunity. But for now, a former PM is holding his land on the wind farm, Indian billionaires and lecture circuits.
