Clooneys and Beckhams: the 31 celebrities listed on 'The Sunday Times' Rich List

The UK's richest people have been revealed in the annual Sunday Times Rich List, and a host of well-known entertainers have made the cut.

American-Mexican actress Salma Hayek and her billionaire husband Francois-Henri Pinault are one of the wealthiest couples on the list, with a £6.59 billion (Dh29.2bn) fortune thanks to their work in fashion and films.

Sir Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell also sit high in the list. The former Beatle and his wife have a fortune of £800 million, up £50m from 2019 thanks to McCartney’s music legacy and Shevell’s family transportation business.
