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.
From movie stars to rock legends, entertainers sit among entrepreneurs, inventors and members of Britain’s elite as the wealthiest people in the country.
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.
JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter franchise, also featured highly in the list, with a fortune of £795m, while David and Victoria Beckham’s joint fortune of £370m also saw them listed among Britain’s wealthiest.
Rihanna, who moved to London last year when she started her Fenty fashion line with LVMH in Paris, was a new entry to the list, with a £468m fortune thanks to her music, beauty and fashion lines.

How to come clean about financial infidelity
- Be honest and transparent: It is always better to own up than be found out. Tell your partner everything they want to know. Show remorse. Inform them of the extent of the situation so they know what they are dealing with.
- Work on yourself: Be honest with yourself and your partner and figure out why you did it. Don’t be ashamed to ask for professional help.
- Give it time: Like any breach of trust, it requires time to rebuild. So be consistent, communicate often and be patient with your partner and yourself.
- Discuss your financial situation regularly: Ensure your spouse is involved in financial matters and decisions. Your ability to consistently follow through with what you say you are going to do when it comes to money can make all the difference in your partner’s willingness to trust you again.
- Work on a plan to resolve the problem together: If there is a lot of debt, for example, create a budget and financial plan together and ensure your partner is fully informed, involved and supported.

How it works
1) The liquid nanoclay is a mixture of water and clay that aims to convert desert land to fertile ground
2) Instead of water draining straight through the sand, it apparently helps the soil retain water
3) One application is said to last five years
4) The cost of treatment per hectare (2.4 acres) of desert varies from $7,000 to $10,000 per hectare
