It’s clear to see on this year’s list that Specsavers has made 1)Dame Mary Perkins and her family very rich indeed. Her fortune of 1.15 billion makes her Britain’s first, self-made woman billionaire. In fact it’s the first year the proportion of women on the list has surpassed 10%.
Tritsan Davis (Executive Editor of the Rich List): There are more than a hundred women on the list, which is a record for the Sunday Times’ rich list.
But men are still taking the top spots. Steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal ranks as the richest man with a wealth of 17.5 billion, and that’s down five billion in the last year. The usual suspects appear shortly behind him. Roman Abramovich comes in at No. 3, down from No. 2. Sir Phillip and Lady Green have also slipped from 9th richest to joint 13th. Among the new billionaire entries is 2)Tory Peer Lord Kirkham with his family, after selling sofa business DFS. The 66-year-old’s wealth now stands at one billion pounds. Our desire to shop on line has made the likes of ESOS founder Nick Robertson a millionaire. He’s now worth 177 million. The combined wealth of Britain’s richest now stands at nearly 400 billion pounds.
从今年的富豪榜可以看出，Specsavers眼镜店令玛丽·珀金斯女爵士和她的家人变得非常富有，拥有11.5亿资产的她成为英国第一个白手起家的女亿万富翁。事实上，今年富豪榜上女性所占比例首次超过10%。
特里斯坦·戴维斯（富豪榜执行主编）：榜上的女富豪超过一百人，这在《星期日泰晤士报》富豪榜创下一个新纪录。
但名列前茅的富豪依然是男性。钢铁大王拉克什米·米塔尔以175亿身家成为英国境内首富，尽管去年他的资产缩水了50亿。紧随其后的富豪大亨不出人们所料。罗曼·阿布拉莫维奇从去年的第二名下跌一位，名列第三。菲利普·格林爵士夫妇的排名从第九位下跌至13位。榜单中的新面孔包括保守党贵族科克汉及其家族。在出售了名为DFS的沙发生意后，这位66岁的托利党贵族身家已达10亿英镑。我们的网购热情造就了像ESOS网站创始人尼克·罗伯森这样的亿万富翁，他的财富总值1.77亿英镑。如今，英国最富有的人财富总和接近4000亿英镑。
