How is the list worked out?
The Sunday Times Rich List calculates the fortunes of the wealthiest people who predominantly live or work in Britain.
It is figured by using the estimated wealth of each subject from a range of public information based on values in January each year.
The newspaper clarifies the calculations by saying: "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."
In 2015 Queen Elizabeth was not ranked among the list's top 300 for the fist time since it began in 1989 - when she was number 1 on it.
