Chancellor Rishi Sunak is under growing pressure to make the super-wealthy pay their share of taxes after the Rich List revealed Britain now has 177 billionaires.
It also showed that while millions were plunging into poverty amid the cost of living crisis the wealth of the richest 250 people was rising by more than £50billion to £710.7bn.
The Chancellor and his wife Akshata Murthy were ranked 222nd on the Rich List mainly due to her £690m stake in Infosys.
