Dua Lipa is the youngest person on UK's under-40 rich list
With an estimated fortune of £115 million ($153 million), the Anglo-Albanian singer, whose album 'Radical Optimism' topped the British charts, ranks 34th in the 40 Under 40 category.
The Sunday Times Rich List, in its 37th year, includes also people who are not British citizens but who live and work in the UK.
Others to feature in the 40 Under 40 list are 'Harry Potter' actor Daniel Radcliffe and England footballer Harry Kane on £100 million each, just behind retired tennis player Andy Murray.
Singer Adele's fortune is estimated to be worth £170 million, while peers Harry Styles has £225 million and Ed Sheeran £370 million.
The overall Rich List is dominated by entrepreneurs, financiers, and property owners.
Gopi Hinduja and his family, who are behind the Indian conglomerate Hinduja Group, retained the title of Britain's richest, despite their wealth dropping to £35.3 billion from £37.2 billion.
The Sunday Times noted that the number of billionaires in the UK has fallen to 156 from 165, the biggest drop in the list's history.
The Labour government is tightening a loophole that allows people with 'non-dom' status, those who live in Britain but whose permanent domicile is abroad, to avoid UK tax on income earned outside the country.
'Our billionaire count is down and the combined wealth of those who feature in our research is falling,' said Robert Watts, compiler of the Rich List.
'We are also finding fewer of the world's super rich are coming to live in the UK.'
Also to feature on this year's list is Jim Ratcliffe, founder of petrochemicals group Ineos and minority owner of Manchester United football club.
He remains in the top ten with £17 billion, though his fortune has slumped around £6 billion in the past year owing to struggles at his company.
Paul McCartney is the sole billionaire musician in 151st place.
Elton John is worth £475 million, about 35 million more than Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones.
King Charles III's fortune reached £640 million, placing him in 238th place, tied with Britain's former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his wife Akshata Murty, who has benefited from Infosys, the tech giant founded by her father.
The combined wealth of the 350 entries stands at £772.8 billion -- down three percent on 2024. The list takes into account 'identifiable wealth -- such as land, property, racehorses, art or significant shares in publicly quoted companies', the paper noted.It excludes private bank accounts, which means an individual's wealth 'may be much larger' than stated, it added.

Liverpool set to cut losses with Nunez move to Saudi: reports
Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez is reportedly closing in on a move to Saudi club Al Hilal, which could allow the Premier League champions to make a fresh bid for Newcastle's Alexander Isak. Nunez joined the Reds for an initial 75 million euros ($87 million, £65 million) from Benfica three years ago but has failed to live up to that price tag. The Uruguayan has scored 40 goals in 143 appearances but slipped down the pecking order at Anfield under both Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot. Accord - ing to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, Al Hilal will pay an initial 53 million euros for the 26-year-old. Nunez was likely to play even less this season after Liverpool signed Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz as part of a 300 million euro spending spree that also includes fullbacks Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong. However, the club could still break the British transfer record by signing Isak, with Newcastle reportedly demanding a fee of up to £150 million for the Swedish striker. The sale of Nunez would take Liverpool's income for transfer sales this window t o n e a r l y 200 million euros after the departures of Luis Diaz, Jarell Quansah, Caoimhin Kelleher, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Tyler Morton.

Wirtz unfazed by huge Liverpool price tag
Florian Wirtz says his huge price tag 'doesn't matter' as he prepares for his first season in the Premier League after a switch to champions Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen. The attacking midfielder arrived at Anfield for an initial £100 million ($132 million) that could rise to £116 million with add-ons, making his move a potential British record. However, speaking after impressing in a 3-2 friendly win over Athletic Bilbao on Monday, the 22-year-old brushed off the size of his transfer fee. 'I don't think about it. I just want to play football and how much money the clubs pay between each other, it doesn't matter,' he said. 'Of course the big challenge is to win the title again and it is the most difficult thing so (I will) try and just create chances and also work against the ball. 'I can also run a lot so (I will) bring this to the team and then with the ball I can make the team better and bring my teammates into better situations.' Liverpool face FA Cup winners Crystal Palace in the season-opening Community Shield on Sunday and kick off their Premier League title defence at home to Bournemouth on August 15. Germany international Wirtz said he was relishing the challenge. 'There are some differences to Germany but I think there is also something I can learn and make me better so I am really looking forward to it,' he said. 'It's more intense and more physical, every player is really strong, really fast. That is what everybody is telling me.' Big spenders Liverpool have spent more than £250 million so far in the summer transfer window on a clutch of new players including Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, who also came from Leverkusen, and Giorgi Mamardashvili. The club are understood to have made a bid of around £110 million plus potential add-ons for unsettled Newcastle striker Alexander Isak last week, which was rejected. Manager Arne Slot said after two friendlies against Athletic Bilbao at Anfield on Monday that there was 'always room for improvement' despite the club's march to a record-equalling 20th league title last season. 'We've added a few, in my opinion, extra weapons,' said the Dutchman. 'So, Florian has a lot of creativity in the final third. We've lost with Trent (Alexander-Arnold, who has signed for Real Madrid) a lot of creativity from the back. 'Trent's crosses and picking out runners was so special -– I think Flo has this quality as well in a totally different position.' Liverpool paid tribute to late forward Diogo Jota in their first matches at Anfield since the forward and his brother Andre Silva died in a car crash in Spain last month. Slot said in his programme notes that it had been a 'tough time for everyone connected with the club, but especially for Diogo's family, his wife, his children and friends'. 'We cannot imagine the pain that they have been going through, and the club will continue to give them all the support they can going forward,' he wrote. 'We will always carry him with us in our hearts, in our thoughts, wherever we go.'
