The list is based on an estimate of the minimum wealth of the richest 1,000 people or families in the United Kingdom as of January of that year, and is compiled by Philip Beresford.
As in previous years, the Rich List was widely previewed in the UK media and extensively covered on the day of its publication.
[3][4] The top four places in the Rich List were unchanged from the previous year.
[3] Notable changes in rankings include: Uzbek-Russian Alisher Usmanov, up to 6th from 18th; Canadian Galen Weston and family, rising to 7th from 47th; and Indian Anil Agarwal, moving to 10th from 70th.
In addition, one new entry to the list, Chinese property tycoon Joseph Lau, immediately landed just outside the top 10, coming in at 12th.
