This year’s list marks the largest drop in billionaires in the guide’s 37-year history, with just 156 making the list compared to its peak of 177 in 2022.
The list reveals the country’s 350 richest individuals who share a net worth of £772.8 billion, a three per cent decrease from last year.
It evaluates factors including identifiable wealth like land and property, assets like art and racehorses, as well as shares in publicly quoted companies.
It does not include bank account figures.
David and Victoria Beckham have made the list after amassing a net worth of £500 million.
After marrying in 1999, the Beckhams have remained in the public eye with regular public appearances.
The pair amassed their wealth across their successful entertainment careers, with David Beckham’s high-flying football career matched by Victoria Beckham’s thriving music group as part of the Spice Girls.
In the years since, David has continued as a prominent voice in the football industry, owning Inter Miami with a group of investors since 2020.
The club’s value soared to $1 billion according to Forbes after they signed World-Cup winning legend Lionel Messi.
He also has an income source from his stake in Authentic Brands, the world’s largest sport and entertainment licensing company which owns Reebok, Juicy Couture and Ted Baker, as well as the rights to the estate name and image of celebrities like Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe and Mohammed Ali.

After Authentic bought a 55 per cent stake in David’s brand management firm DB Ventures in 2022, he was thought to have made £160 million, plus stock in the company worth £80 million.
His remaining 45 per cent stake in his own brand is worth around £200 million.
He has also become an ambassador for brands like Tudor watches, EA Sports, Adidas and Nespresso, as well as the controversial 2022 Qatar World Cup.
Victoria, known as Posh Spice during her girl group years, has launched a successful monikered ready-to-wear fashion and beauty brand.
After 14 years of losses, the fashion label began to turn around in 2022 as a decline in losses meant the company made revenue of £58.8 million, a 44 per cent increase on 2021’s £40.9 million.
Sales further improved in 2023 according to investor Neo, with a 50 per cent increase, making Victoria’s goal of reaching £100 million in revenue seem more viable.

The pair also regularly appear in adverts, including the Uber Eats advert broadcast during the Super Bowl in February 2024.
Their collective property portfolio is worth around £90 million and includes a £50 townhouse in west London, a mansion in the Cotswolds and a five-bedroom penthouse in Miami designed by Zaha Hadid.
In addition, they own a superyacht named Seven after David’s number on his Manchester United and England Shirts, which is worth around £16 million.
The family have been in the public eye again recently following rumours of a feud with son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola.
The feud apparently began when Brooklyn did not attend David’s 50th birthday celebrations – as Brooklyn in turn was unhappy that his younger brother Romeo’s girlfriend Kim Turnbull was invited.
LIVING LARGE
For the fourth year in a row, Goji Hinduja and family have topped the list, with the investors sharing a net worth of £35.304 billion.
They suffered a fall of £1.892 billion from last year’s survey.
The minimum entry level for the list flatlines at £350 million.
The Hindujas were followed in the list by real estate moguls David and Simon Reuben, who moved up to second after increasing their wealth to £26.9 billion.
They were followed by investor Sir Leonard Blavatnik, entrepreneur Sir James Dyson and shipping tycoon Idan Ofer.
The 2025 list also features the King, who is up by £30 million to an estimated wealth of £640 million to match Rishi Sunak and his wife, Akshata Murty, who are on their way down.
Other celebrities who made the list include Ellen Degeneres, Charlotte Tilbury, Ed Sheeran and Brewdog Founder James Watt.
The biggest faller in 2025 was Ineos founder and Manchester United part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe who saw his wealth decline by around £6 billion for the second consecutive year.
He is seventh on the list with a wealth of around £17 billion
Meanwhile, the biggest risers were the Russian-born brothers Igor and Dmitry Bukhman who built a fortune on mobile games such as Gardenscapes and Fishdom, who saw their wealth almost double to £12.5 billion.
