"Britains richest have doubled their wealth in the last 5 years"

Britain's richest people have managed to DOUBLE their wealth in the five years since the financial crash with a combined fortune of £519billion.

The fortunes of the 1,000 richest men and women in the UK rose by 15.4 per cent compared to last year, when their combined wealth stood at £449billion.

It also means that total wealth has doubled since 2009, when the top 1,000 were worth a measly £258billion.

Billions: Virgin tycoon Sir Richard Branson is worth £3.6billion.

Topping the table are industry and finance tycoons the Hinduja brothers, whose combined fortunes of £11.9billion usurpsed Arsenal FC shareholder Alisher Usmanov.

The figures were revealed today in the Sunday Times Rich List, with Philip Beresford, who compiles the rankings, saying: 'I've never seen such a phenomenal rise in personal wealth as the growth in the fortunes of Britain's 1,000 richest people over the past year.

'The richest people in Britain have had an astonishing year.

'While some may criticise them, many of these people are at the heart of the economy and their success brings more jobs and more wealth for the country.'

Meerkat: The man behind comparethemarket.com gained £50million this year.

Other familiar faces in the billionaire category include Virgin boss Sir Richard Branson, and Sir Philip Green, while the list noted a rise in online millionaires, with creators of games such as Candy Crush Saga and the Grand Theft Auto series making it onto the list.

South African Douw Steyn, who is the money behind the wildly successful, meerkat-synonymous Comparethemarket.com saw his wealth rise by £50million to £600million.

The Queen meanwhile added £10million to her personal fortune over the past year and ranks 285th with her £330million.
