All the despicable greedy scum revealed in the Sunday Times Rich List

[editor]

They get richer while billions starve. Utter filth.

Sir Leonard Blavatnik has topped the latest Sunday Times Rich List, having seen his fortune swell to £23bn.
The Ukranian-born oil and media magnate, who also owns Warner Music, saw his wealth surge by £7.2bn during the year.
He took the title from Sir James Dyson, whose wealth rose by only £100m to £16.3bn, leaving him in fourth place.
There are now a record 171 billionaires in UK, with their wealth rising 21.7% during the pandemic to £597.2bn.

Mr Blavatnik made his fortune in Russia where he owned stakes worth billions of pounds in companies selling metal and oil. He is a notoriously-private man, and holds both US and UK citizenship.
His wealth was boosted by the proceeds of a £1.37bn stake in Warner, which he received when it listed on the stock market in the US last year.

"The fact many of the super-rich grew so much wealthier at a time when thousands of us have buried loved ones and millions of us worried for our livelihoods makes this a very unsettling boom," said Robert Watts, compiler of the annual index of the country's wealthiest residents.

"The global pandemic created lucrative opportunities for many online retailers, social networking apps and computer games tycoons."

Growing fortunes​

Property investor brothers David and Simon Reuben were in second place after their fortune grew by £5.46bn to £21.46bn.
Sri and Gopi Hinduja, who run the Mumbai-based conglomerate Hinduja Group, took third spot after their wealth rose by £1bn.

Steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal, in fifth place, saw the biggest rise in wealth of any billionaire in the past 12 months, with gains of around £7.9bn, largely based on the rise in value of his ArcelorMittal steel-making business.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich was in eighth position after his fortune rose by £1.9bn to £12.1bn.

I don't need to be a billionaire, I just wouldn't mind being a bit more solvent

 

[extra dry]

A quarter billionaire, or a tenth billionaire would do

Where's the line between got some money and might be a twat, and undoubtedly pure evil? Bono has about 0.7 billion I think.

UK rich list but most of them don’t sound born and bred in the UK so how does that work then

They live here in this tax haven

inevitably there's a range of opinions here but surely we can all at least agree that bono's a twat.

Three of them are UK born, Dyson, Weston and Carvalho (foreign sounding name notwithstanding), there's 2 Russian and a Ukrainian amongst the remainder, I wonder if they live here because their cards have marked by Putin

 

[weltweit]

I remember reading somewhere that some get competitive over their position on the list, Saddoes

 

[Humberto]

And yet always grasping from the workers. It needs to be dealt with, to rebalance. Billionaires are poisonous to society.

Billions haven't made the Rauslings particularly the happy. Hans, the brother of the one on the list married another heir to a fortune. She's the one eventually after various drugs charges who ended up dead from an overdose under a pile of coats in their very posh house on Eaton Square One Rule for the Rich: heir to TetraPak empire gets off possessing 52g of Coke!

Abromovich has had the good sense to keep paying his respect/roubles to Putin.

He's an Israeli citizen now IIRC. Russia doesn't recognise dual nationalities.

I’m not sure Uncle Vlad gives much of a hoot to whom he allocates the Novichok. Roman still pays.

Foreign sounding name

I've got a foreign-looking surname which probably makes me a wrong-un. My sister gives a foreign pronunciation which probably makes her even wronger.

Not going to buy it. Many years ago I read it for a couple of years.
The CEO of the company I worked for was listed.

Bono would still be pure evil if his current fortune was 70 pence.

Too much of anything is poisonous, including money.

There's a new king of the hill today:

Bernard Arnault, 72, the chief executive of Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH), saw his luxury goods firm rise by 0.4 per cent during the first few hours of trading on Monday.

I don't understand why relatively poor people buy high-end brands only to make people like this richer.
