Sunday Times Rich List 2008
- Sunday Times Rich List 2008
The "Sunday Times Rich List 2008" was published on 27 April 2008. [ [http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/specials/rich_list/article3822711.ece The Sunday Times: "Rich List reveals wealthy reap profits under Labour" ] ]
Since 1989 the UK national Sunday newspaper "The Sunday Times" (sister paper to "The Times") has published an annual magazine supplement to the newspaper called the "Sunday Times Rich List". The list is based on an estimate of the minimum wealth of the richest 1,000 people or families in the United Kingdom as of January of that year, and is compiled by Dr Philip Beresford.
This article is concerned with the 2008 list only. For discussion of the lists generally, see "Sunday Times Rich List".
A separate section lists the 250 richest Irish, including both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
The list was previewed on ITV1 on 24 April 2008 in "Britain's Rich List: Giving It Away", presented by millionaire Duncan Bannatyne. [ [http://www.tvscoop.tv/2007/04/set_the_video_b_22.html TV Scoop] ]
As in previous years, the List was widely covered in other UK media on the day of its publication; the "Daily Telegraph", for example, noted that "Kirsty Bertarelli, a former Miss United Kingdom from Staffordshire, is the highest placed woman, appearing at number six on the list alongside her husband, the biotechnology tycoon Ernesto Bertarelli."

The top four places in the List were unchanged from the previous year. Only six of the top 20 were born in Britain. [ [http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/specials/rich_list/article3822711.ece The Sunday Times: "Rich List reveals wealthy reap profits under Labour" ] ]
Among the most notable changes were three new names on the List entering in the top 12: Alisher Usmanov, Leonard Blavatnik, both Russian entrepreneurs with homes in London, and Ernesto Bertarelli.
