Tony Murray and his family topped the US Rich List this year with his wealth for 2021 being valued at £2.3bn, no change from his valuation the previous year.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, was born in Lancashire but lived in Hull until he was 18 years old, is valued at £6.33bn.

The 76-page special edition of The Sunday Times Magazine reveals the wealth of the 250 richest people in Britain in its 33rd annual edition.

Mr Murray is one of four billionaires from US among a record-breaking 171 billionaires in the UK recorded this year, up 24 on last year, a year-on-year increase that is also a record.

The combined wealth of the 171 UK billionaires is £597.269bn, up £106.582bn, or 21.7 per cent, on the total wealth of the billionaires in last year’s Rich List.

Mr Murray is chairman of Elland-based London Security plc, the fire protection business. Now aged 101, he is the oldest person in the Rich List.

The Healey brothers have closed the gap on the Murray family by £200m over the past year, largely due to the expanding Wren kitchen business, run by Malcolm Healey, which is now valued at £600m.

Eddie and Malcolm Healey saw their wealth rise by £200m and they are now valued at £2.2bn.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, was born in Lancashire but lived in Hull until he was 18 years old, saw his value fall by £5.82bn. The owner of chemical company Ineos slipped from number five on the list to 25.
