The majority of the people on the 40 Under 40 list made their millions on their own, but nine were born into money, according to The Sunday Times.
The top nine on the list also feature in the main Sunday Times Rich List, where the minimum figure for entry is £350 million.
Robert Watts, compiler of The Sunday Times Rich List, said: “Despite the tougher business environment, we have many impressive entrepreneurial stories in this year’s Sunday Times Rich List.
“We know our readers are particularly fascinated by those from humbler backgrounds who start their own businesses, work hard and go on to build profitable businesses.
“Our 40 under 40 list includes individuals who have quickly built fortunes from fashion, vodka, sport, and increasingly the tech sector and AI.

“Many of these young guns are already employing hundreds of people and some will go on to be the future of the British economy.”
The 2024 Sunday Times Rich List charts the wealth of the 350 richest people in the UK and the list is based on identifiable wealth, including land, property, other assets such as art and racehorses, or significant shares in publicly quoted companies.
It excludes bank accounts, to which the outlet has said it has no access.
The 40 Under 40 List includes individuals with the biggest fortunes aged 40 or under as of May 1 this year.
