Harborne, who has lived in Thailand for over two decades, holds significant investments in crypto platform Tether, defense technology firm Qinetiq, and payments provider IFX. He is the source of a £5 million gift to Nigel Farage, which is under investigation by the Commons sleaze watchdog, and also made a record £9 million donation to Reform UK in August 2025. Other notable figures on the list include Revolut co-founder Nikolay Storonsky, who saw the biggest rise, and Sir James Dyson, whose family's wealth declined due to tariffs under Donald Trump's policies. The research also highlighted an ongoing exodus of wealth from the UK, with many billionaires relocating overseas following government changes to non-dom rules and inheritance tax.
