The richest celebrities of 2025 have been revealed, with a surprise reality TV star raking in millions and the Beckhams boosting their income amid their family fallout.

For the first time, there has been the largest fall in the number of billionaires in the guide’s 37-year history, going from a peak of 177 in 2022 to 156 this year. Those making it onto this year’s list needed to scrape by on at least £350million.

In the world of showbiz, five big names made it ahead of the King. As co-founder of the Virgin Group, businessman-turned-celebrity Sir Richard Branson and family raked in an impressive £2.419bn, putting him at number 72 on the list.

It makes him the highest earning big name and Richard is closely followed by motorsport star Bernie Ecclestone and his family with £2bn income.

Heading down the list to number 145 sees Lord Sugar as The Apprentice star and businessman has a cool £1.101bn to his name. Just six spots down from Lord Sugar, sees the first music star.

Sir Paul McCartney and wife Nancy McCartney have hit the billionaire status as they have a staggering £1.025bn. Entering into the millionaires, sees Harry Potter author JK Rowling at spot number 169 with £945m.

Now for those falling under the King’s wealth, Victoria and David Beckham had a good year as they hit the £500m mark. The Spice Girl-turned-fashion designer and football icon have had a tough time of late with their ongoing public fallout with eldest son Brooklyn.

The first reality TV star on the list goes to Made in Chelsea’s Georgia Toffolo. In March, she married BrewDog’s co-founder James Watt and is also the entrepreneur of her own pet food company. It means they have a combined £425m to their name.
