3. Tom Morris and family- £6.989bn
Liverpool-born Tom Morris, 71, has lived Lytham for many years. The father-of-five is worth £6.989bn - up £316m since last year, making him the 26th richest person in the country. He made his money by founding and growing Home Bargains, one of the UK’s largest discount retail chains. Morris opened the first store in Liverpool and built the business by offering branded goods at low prices, appealing to value-conscious shoppers. The company remains family-owned and has expanded to hundreds of stores nationwide, generating billions in annual sales and securing the Morris family's place among the wealthiest in the UK. | Shawn - stock.adobe.com
4. Mohsin and Zuber (pictured) Issa (£6bn)
Mohsin and Zuber Issa, brothers from Blackburn, built their fortune by transforming a single petrol station into a global retail empire. In 2001, they purchased a derelict forecourt in Bury for £150,000, founding Euro Garages, which later evolved into EG Group. Their ventures culminated in a significant move in 2020 when, alongside TDR Capital, they acquired Asda. They are now worth £6bn - a whole £1bn more than last year, moving them into 32nd place on the 2025 rich list. | Getty Images
