Every year The Times releases a list of the richest people in the UK and surprisingly a lot of our favourite entertainers make the cut. However, singers and actors aren't the only ones who appear on the list!
Rishi Sunak is at the top of the list
The current Prime Minister and his wife are part of the top 3 richest people in the UK. However, don't be tricked into believing that this is thanks to his high profile political role. No. According to The Guardian, his wealth comes from his former career as a 'hedge fund manager' as well as the fact that his wife is an heiress.
His wealth has raised questions about his ability to relate and therefore make the right decision within a cost of living crisis.
He responded:
I think in our country, we judge people not by their bank account, we judge them by their character and their actions. And yes, I’m really fortunate to be in the situation I’m in now, but I wasn’t born like this.
One Direction still brings in money
Part of the Top 20 are two former members of the popular boy band One Direction: Harry Styles and Niall Horan. Both artists have released their own music with a lot of success. Indeed, Styles finished his world tour on 22 July after months of traveling around the world. Multiple moments of the tour have gone viral leaving fans wanting more!
