The second richest billionaire in the world, James Dyson, although he missed out on top spot on the wealthy list.

From beer brewers to software and oil tycoons, the list includes a diverse group of the super-rich.
 
The wealthiest people in the UK are now as wealthy as they’ve ever been, as the list’s top earners surpass previous records.
 
The overall number of billionaires in the UK has now hit an all-time high of 177, according to the latest figures.
 
James Dyson, 75, a wealthy entrepreneur best recognized for developing market-leading vacuum technology, is ranked second on the list.
 
Dyson’s vacuums are well-known, and the inventor is now focusing on wearable technologies.
 
He has ascended from fourth to second place, passing the Reuben family and Sir Leonard Blavatnik.
 
Dyson made it plain in a fascinating interview with Fast Company that failing was necessary to succeed.
 
“I made 5,127 prototypes of my vacuum before I got it right. There were 5,126 failures. But I learned from each one, that’s how I came up with a solution. So I don’t mind failure. I’ve always thought that schoolchildren should be marked by the number of failures they’ve had,” he explained.
