The Sunday Times Rich List 2026 is the 38th annual survey of the wealthiest people resident in the United Kingdom, published by The Sunday Times online on 15 May 2026 and in print as a magazine supplement on 17 May 2026.
The list was edited by Robert Watts who succeeded long-term compiler Philip Beresford in 2017. He noted that "The 38th edition of the rankings show the UK's 350 most affluent individuals and families share combined wealth of £784 billion — a 1.4 per cent rise on last year and a sum equivalent to a quarter of UK GDP."
Notable changes from the 2025 Rich List were "an exodus of wealthy individuals leaving the UK in the wake of tax changes unveiled by Rachel Reeves, the chancellor." New entrants included Christopher Harborne and Emily Eavis.
The list was widely reported by other media.
