The Sunday Times has revealed the UK’s top 30 richest game developers and players.

The inaugural edition of the Gaming Rich List – a video game themed version of its long-running Rich List – leads with Russian-born brothers Igor and Dmitry Bukhman, with an estimated fortune of £12.5 billion.

The pair, who were also placed 27th in the overall Sunday Times Rich List 2024, are the co-founders of Playrix, creators of popular mobile games Township, Fishdom, and Homescapes.

While the list is largely dominated by game developers – including notable names like Grand Theft Auto leads Sam and Dan Houser, who are ranked 4th with an estimated wealth of £350 million – other names include Game retail boss Neil Taylor, who co-founded the chain of stores.

Not surprised by Dan and Sam Houser here, GTA is the most grossing franchise in the history of video games, they re defo taking their sweet time with GTA 6 and I'm expecting delays too if being honest
