"Rules of engagement"

The editorial decisions governing the compilation of the Rich List are published in the newspaper and online as its "Rules of engagement".^[1]

Inclusion

The Rich List is not limited to British citizens and it includes individuals and families born overseas but who predominantly work and/or live in Britain. This excludes some individuals with prominent financial assets in Britain such as Rupert Murdoch (owner of The Times and The Sunday Times). Rupert Murdoch is an Australian-born U.S. citizen and is not based in Britain, which excludes him. The Sunday Times always acknowledges this every year and details where he would have been in the list if he had qualified. This article does not cite its references or sources. ...

Estimation

The editors estimate subjects' wealth from a range of public information, based on values at January each year. "We measure identifiable wealth, whether land, property, racehorses, art or significant shares in publicly quoted companies. We exclude bank accounts — to which we have no access... We try to give due consideration to liabilities."

Book version

A fuller version of the Rich List is also published in a reference book edition, edited by Philip Beresford. This list covers the top 5,000 richest people, rather than the top 1,000, and includes their business addresses:
