The richest people in Britain have seen their fortunes soar by a fifth in the past year despite the fact that much of the UK is struggling to recover from the recession. >
The 2011 Sunday Times Rich List, published recently, reveals that the 1,000 wealthiest people in the country are now worth a combined £395.8 billion, equivalent to more than a third of the national debt.
The number of billionaires has risen from 53 to 73, while nine people have seen their fortunes rise by £1 billion or more during the past 12 months alone.
Don’t despair; seek comfort in our Leader’s words, “We are all in this together.”
