Patriotic Millionaires UK Media Reactive: Sunday Times Rich List 2025

Responding to the 2025 Sunday Times Rich List, Julia Davies, member of Patriotic Millionaires UK, said: 

Once again this year’s rich list shows the phenomenal wealth that is stuck at the top with a whopping £772 billion in the hands of a mere 350 people. Those wringing their hands about fewer billionaires and the threat of multi-millionaires leaving would be better off focusing on real British problems - like our crumbling NHS - than nursing the niche concerns of the super rich. 

£772 billion, held by just 350 families, would cover the total cost of the UK’s annual healthcare spend three times over. Properly taxing this wealth, to invest in our much loved country, is long overdue. 

Our media and political leaders need to stop focusing on the interests and habits of a small number of people who are hoarding extreme wealth at the expense of us all and instead prioritise the interests of Britain’s true wealth creators - our ordinary hardworking families, small businesses, entrepreneurs, teachers, health and other public sector workers. These people are the backbone of the British economy, many of whom haven’t seen a pay rise in 15 years. Our Government should treat the Rich List as the smelling salt it needs, wake up, and tax the super rich.
