Complaints

Title should be "List of Britons by Net Worth". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.92.128.150 (talk) 00:58, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This list should include 'Lakshmi Mittal' — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lemonsticks (talk • contribs) 14:21, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They are British. Their net worth should be quoted in pounds sterling, not dollars. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.170.205.195 (talk) 22:58, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why is Jacob Rothschild not present. His own Wikipedia page states that he is of British nationality and has a net worth of US$5 billion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.127.113.29 (talk) 02:27, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Only individual persons should be listed in a list of Billionaires. 'Families' shouldn't be included. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.25.94.142 (talk) 16:54, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict with another article

See Sunday Times Rich List. These give different figures. And the Hinduja family isn't British. Doug Weller (talk) 10:27, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Edits Regarding Net Worth

I would like to point out that this is a list from the March 2016 Forbes List. If you would like to use additional sources, then please create a new section with a new list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xzesey (talk • contribs) 16:27, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Why is Citizenship column not redundant?

Is there any information in the Citizenship column that is not already in the title of this article? If there is not, I propose that the whole column is redundant and should be deleted. In any case, United Kingdom should be linked only once (on first occurrence), not in each line. --Frans Fowler (talk) 02:02, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done -Frans Fowler (talk) 09:56, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Numbers

Anyone know why the discrepancies in numbers of people? 54 in 2017, to 9 in 2019 to 17 in 2020... seems odd. Varying reporting criteria per media outlet? Something else? If someone could add some context, that would be good. - wolf 00:13, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Death

Today a submarine went missing. On board the submarine is British billionaire Michael Harding. I hope for the best. Hope they survive, but all I'm seeing in the news is grim news. 49.184.180.11 (talk) 10:33, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Missing names

I know Lord Ashcroft was worth more than £1 billion but didn't see his name published? 2024 according to Forbes was worth over $2.2 billion — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ashattock (talk • contribs) 08:04, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
