Hinduja Family Retains No.1 Spot on UK Rich List 2026

Sanjay and Dheeraj Hinduja and family have once again emerged as the richest family in the United Kingdom, topping The Sunday Times Rich List 2026 with an estimated wealth of £38 billion.

This is the fifth successive year that the Hinduja family, which leads the global Hinduja Group, has secured the top position on the influential annual ranking of Britain’s wealthiest individuals and families.

The achievement comes amid global economic headwinds and policy shifts, reflecting the Group’s continued business strength and international footprint.

Founded over 111 years ago, the Hinduja Group today operates in 38 countries with interests across sectors including mobility, banking and financial services, digital technology, healthcare, energy, real estate, media, trading, and project development.

The Group has also expanded its focus on India’s growing electric mobility ecosystem, especially through investments in EV charging infrastructure as part of its sustainability-led strategy.

The Hinduja Group’s guiding philosophy remains rooted in the vision of Late Shri Parmanand Deepchand Hinduja, who believed: “My Dharma is to work so that I can give.”

Beyond business operations, the Hinduja Foundation continues to drive social initiatives in education, healthcare, sustainable rural development, and water conservation across communities globally.

The Sunday Times Rich List 2026 includes around 350 entries, featuring several global billionaires and business families.
