The multi-millionaires and billionaires whose fortunes come from the food and energy sectors have seen their wealth surge during the cost-of-living crisis – increasing three or four times more than the wealth of other super-rich individuals.

The companies these ultra-wealthy families own are profiting – and in some cases profiteering – from the rising cost of food and energy. 

This briefing highlights the 15 super-rich families, all on the Sunday Times Rich List, who have seen the greatest wealth increases and call for the UK government to tax the super-rich, limit extreme wealth and advocate for wealth taxation internationally.
