Lord Sainsbury and family, whose assets are estimated at £590M, up by £70M on the previous year, take the penultimate place in our list.
The Sainsbury family owns a 8.2% stake in the supermarket business. Lord Sainsbury came third on the Sunday Times Giving List, reportedly giving £294.9M of his £590M to charities over the past 12 months.
