Britain is home to more UK-based billionaires than ever before, this year's Sunday Times Rich List has revealed.

The annual list, which showcases the 1,000 wealthiest individuals and families living in the country, showed there are now a total of 134 billionaires living in the country - more than have featured on the who's who of wealth in the past.

Additionally, information published on the list indicate that the collective wealth of those featured has also hit a new high with those named having a reported £658bn between them.

Robert Watts, who compiled the list, said the results showed that "while many of us worried about the outcome of the EU referendum, many of Britain's richest people just kept calm and carried on making billions."

He said: "We expected to see a chilling effect in the run-up to the EU referendum, but that simply did not materialise.

"A buoyant stock market usually drives the wealth of Rich Listers higher, and since last June equities have soared.

"We're seeing more and more diversity in the composition of the Rich List.

He added: "More women, more people from ethnic backgrounds, and more from surprising walks of life, with egg farmers and pet food makers lining up with hedge fund managers and private equity barons."

The 20 richest alone are worth £191.765bn and have increased their cumulative wealth by £35.175bn in the past year.
