The Sunday Times’ 2012 Sport Rich List has been released, David Beckham topped the list with a net worth of £160m. The Sunday Times Rich List 2012 was compiled by Philip Beresford, the leading authority on British wealth. The list is based on identifiable wealth, land, property, other assets such as art and racehorses, or significant shares in publicly quoted companies, and does not include the cash in their bank accounts, meaning the true level of their wealth could be even higher.
