Robert Watts, compiler of the Sunday Times Rich List, said: "This year’s Sunday Times Rich List suggests Britain’s billionaire boom has come to an end. Many of our homegrown entrepreneurs have seen their fortunes fall and some of the global super rich who came here are moving away.

"Thousands of British livelihoods rely on the super-rich to some extent. We’ll have to wait and see whether we have now reached peak billionaire, and what that means for our economy.

"These may be harder times to create wealth, but The Sunday Times Rich List continues to unearth entrepreneurs building fortunes in diverse and often surprising ways. This year’s new entries include people who have made money from artificial intelligence and virtual worlds as well as plumbing supplies and teaching aides.

"We know many of our readers find such people — especially those from humbler backgrounds — very inspiring."
