TheSunday Times Rich List is a list of the 1,000 wealthiest people or familiesresident in the United Kingdom ranked bynet wealth. The list is updated annually in April and has been published as a magazine supplement by British nationalSunday newspaperThe Sunday Times since 1989.

The Rich List is not limited to British citizens and it includes individuals and families born overseas but who predominantly work and/or live in Britain. This excludes some individuals with prominent financial assets in Britain.
The editors estimate subjects' wealth from a range of public information, based on values in January each year. They typically explain their actions by stating: "We measure identifiable wealth, whether land, property, racehorses, art or significant shares in publicly quoted companies. We exclude bank accounts—to which we have no access... We try to give due consideration to liabilities."
