sunday times rich list 2005

The Sunday Times Rich List 2005 lists the 1000 richest individuals or families living in the United Kingdom as measured in January 2005. The list was published in The Sunday Times (sister paper to The Times) on 3 April 2005. It is based on identifiable wealth such as land, property and significant shares in publicly quoted companies, but not bank accounts or other items to which the newspaper has no access. The Sunday Times Rich List was published last year as the Sunday Times Rich List 2004.
