LONDON — David and Victoria Beckham and Charlotte Tilbury saw their net worth soar in 2025, according to the latest Sunday Times of London 2025 Rich List, which ranks Britain’s wealthiest 350 wealthiest people or families who live and work in Britain.
The Beckhams were some of the biggest risers on the chart, which looked at net worth between November 2024 and April 28.
The couple, whose businesses reach across fashion, sport and lifestyle, saw their estimated net worth rise by 45 million pounds to reach 500 million pounds. They are number 273 on the list.
Beauty entrepreneur Charlotte Tilbury, meanwhile, has benefited from the lipstick effect.
She entered the Rich List for the first time, landing in 345th place with an estimated net worth of 350 million pounds.
Since Puig’s 1.2 billion pounds acquisition in 2020, her eponymous brand has more than tripled its net sales. Last December, the two extended their partnership, whereby Puig will progressively assume full ownership of the brand by the start of 2031.

Gopi Hinduja and family, despite a 1.89 billion pounds loss due to stock market turmoil, remained in the number-one spot of the ranking with 35.3 billion pounds.
Hinduja’s daughter-in-law, Anu Hinduja, is a fashion designer. She runs An-Y1, one of Bollywood’s go-to brands for resortwear, alongside her sister Nandita Mahtani.
James Dyson and his family, the maker of luxury hairdryers, fans and vacuums, saw no change in their estimated net worth of 20.8 billion pounds due to a lack of fresh financial data, according to the Sunday Times. Dyson is the fourth richest man in the U.K. this year.
The Weston family, which owns Fortnum & Mason, Primark and a variety of other retail businesses, saw a 3.25 billion pound gain in their estimated net worth due to a 40 percent rise in shares in their Canadian businesses.
The family ranks sixth in the 2025 Rich List with an estimated net worth of 17.85 billion pounds.

Controversial retail magnate Mike Ashley’s net worth dropped by 679 million pounds to 3.12 billion pounds, taking his ranking to 52 on the list. The drop was caused by a significant fall in the value of shares at Frasers Group and the Labour government’s hike on taxes paid by employers.
River Island owner Bernard Lewis saw their fortune rise by 13 million pounds to 2.72 billion pounds, while Bestseller and Asos owner Anders Holch Povlsen saw his estimated net worth increase by 974 million pounds to 7.70 billion pounds.
Launched in 1989, the Sunday Times Rich List bases its estimates on “identifiable wealth,” be it land, property, racehorses, art or significant shares in publicly quoted companies. Private bank accounts and small shareholdings in a private equity portfolio are excluded from the calculation.
Missing from the list for the first time is the power couple François-Henri Pinault and Salma Hayek.
The Sunday Times explained to WWD that they stopped including them this year because they no longer spend much of their time in the U.K. or have a significant asset here.

Last year, their estimated net worth stood at 6.14 billion pounds.
Kering‘s share price has halved in the past year, dropping from 340 euros a year ago to 177 euros.
The drop was mostly caused by the weak performance of its flagship brand Gucci, which accounted for 63 percent of Kering’s operating profit in 2024. In the first quarter of 2025, the brand’s sales dropped 25 percent on a comparable basis, slightly worse than the last three months of the year.
During Kering’s annual shareholders’ meeting last month, Pinault said the company is “fully mobilized” to fix the brand, and expressed faith in Gucci’s new artistic director, Demna, who will pick up the reins at the ailing Italian megabrand in early July, after parading a final couture collection for Balenciaga.
