The Rich List: Who’s Hoarding the Wealth?

Let’s talk about money—real money.

The kind of wealth that doesn’t just buy a house or a nice car but entire elections, industries, and economies. In the UK, the richest individuals don’t just have a few million lying around.

They have billions. And they wield their wealth like a weapon.

1. Gopi Hinduja & Family – Industrial giants worth over £29 billion.
2. Sir James Dyson – A vacuum empire and a net worth of £23 billion.
3. David & Simon Reuben – Property tycoons hoarding £22 billion.
4. Sir Leonard Blavatnik – A billionaire investor with over £20 billion.
5. Guillaume Pousaz – Founder of Checkout.com, sitting on £19 billion.
6. Lakshmi Mittal – Steel magnate with £18 billion in assets.
7. Kirsten & Jorn Rausing – Tetra Pak heirs, worth £17 billion.
8. Charlene de Carvalho-Heineken & Michel de Carvalho – Heineken empire, £16 billion.
9. Alisher Usmanov – Metal and telecoms tycoon with £15 billion.
10. Roman Abramovich – Former oil oligarch, worth £14 billion.

Meanwhile, most millionaires hover between £1-5 million in net worth. A few million might seem like a fortune to the average person, but in the world of the ultra-rich, it’s pocket change.

The gap between a millionaire and a billionaire is a chasm so wide it could swallow nations.

The Real Ideology of the West: Capitalism, Not Religion or Politics

Forget God. Forget governments. The real deity of the Western world is money. We like to pretend our societies are built on democracy, faith, or justice—but in reality, capitalism is the ideology that governs us all.

Money dictates who gets to speak, who gets heard, and who gets left behind. It decides elections, policies, and wars. It determines who lives in comfort and who scrapes by. And unlike religion, race, or politics—which at least pretend to be about values—capitalism is a pure numbers game. If you don’t have enough of it, you simply don’t matter.

Capitalism Is Devouring Itself—And Us With It

We were told that capitalism would bring prosperity for all. That if we worked hard, we’d succeed. Instead, what we have is a grotesque game of Monopoly, where the richest keep acquiring, and the rest keep losing.

The wealthiest 1% own more than half of the UK’s assets, while regular people are drowning in debt, skyrocketing rent, and the cost-of-living crisis.

The economy doesn’t exist to serve the people anymore,

It exists to extract from them. Every system we interact with – housing, food, healthcare, energy – has been rigged for profit, not sustainability.

And if we don’t start fighting back, capitalism will collapse under the weight of its own greed, dragging us all down with it.

Saving Money Means Saving Society

So what do we do? We stop playing by their rules. We stop feeding the machine.

• Support alternative economies – Bartering, cooperatives, mutual aid.
• Boycott corporate monopolies – Buy local, invest in community-led businesses.
• Demand policy change – Fight for wealth taxes, universal basic income, and labor rights.
• Expose the system – Keep calling out the corruption, the contradictions, and the sheer absurdity of a system that serves only the elite.

Capitalism has had its run. The receipts are in, and the verdict is clear: it doesn’t work for us. So, what comes next? That’s up to us. But first, we have to burn down the lie that we can keep living like this.

Because we can’t afford to. And we shouldn’t have to.
