Hinduja Family Tops 2026 Sunday Times Rich List With £38 Billion

Their pledge to stay in London signals confidence in the UK even as tax changes push some billionaires to leave.

Alongside its business interests, the Hinduja family continues to expand its social impact initiatives through the Hinduja Foundation.

Overview

  • The family retained No. 1 when the 2026 Sunday Times Rich List was published Friday, with an estimated £38 billion for a fifth straight year.
  • The listing now names brothers Sanjay and Dheeraj after their father, Gopichand Hinduja, died in November last year.
  • The estimate includes about £8 billion in listed stakes, with Ashok Leyland shares up nearly 40% and IndusInd Bank up about 14% over the year.
  • Sanjay Hinduja said the family will remain UK‑based as at least 15 foreign nationals dropped off the list after non‑dom tax rules changed.
  • Their London profile is anchored by the £1.4 billion, eight‑year conversion of the Old War Office into a 120‑room Raffles hotel and 85 luxury apartments.
