These are the top 25 richest people in Britain (and none of them are the Queen)

The richest people in Britain more than doubled their wealth over the last decade.

According to the Sunday Times Rich List 2015, the 1,000 wealthiest individuals and families now have a combined fortune of just over £547 billion ($838 billion). Leading the pack is London-based Ukrainian owner of Warner Music Group Len Blavatnik with an estimated fortune of £13.17 billion ($20.2 billion).

While it is perhaps unsurprising that Russian oligarchs, energy and commodity magnates, and families living off inherited assets top the list, the biggest shock may be the fact that the Queen failed to make the top 300 for the first time.
