The Sunday Times Rich List 2024: Full list of the richest people and families in Yorkshire and their net worths

Founder of Wren Kitchens Malcolm Healey and his family have taken the top spot for Yorkshire on The Sunday Times Rich List for 2024, despite taking a £99 million dip in their net worths.

Doncaster-born Lord Kirkham and his family, who founded furniture company DFS, came in second on the list for Yorkshire with a wealth of £1.14 billion.

In third place for Yorkshire is the Shepherd family, founders of Portakabin who have a wealth of £1.104 billion and lost £411 million over the last year.

Compiler of the Sunday Times Rich List, Robert Watts, said: “This year’s Sunday Times Rich List suggests Britain’s billionaire boom has come to an end. Many of our home-grown entrepreneurs have seen their fortunes fall and some of the global super rich who came here are moving away.

“Thousands of British livelihoods rely on the super-rich to some extent. We’ll have to wait and see whether we have now reached peak billionaire, and what that means for our economy.

“These may be harder times to create wealth, but The Sunday Times Rich List continues to unearth entrepreneurs building fortunes in diverse and often surprising ways. This year’s new entries include people who have made money from artificial intelligence and virtual worlds as well as plumbing supplies and teaching aides.

“We know many of our readers find such people — especially those from humbler backgrounds — very inspiring.”
