Two Watford celebrities have been named among the wealthiest people in the UK, according to a new rich list.
Former Watford FC chairman and pop icon Sir Elton John, 77, has made the Sunday Times Rich List 2024 again as his fortune rose £20 million in the last year, now placing him 291st with an estimated £470 million net worth.
The newspaper quipped: “The Your Song singer may have retired from touring after five decades but there’s no sign of the sun going down on his fortunes.”

Watford-born boxer Anthony Joshua, 34, was also named one of the 40 richest people under the age of 40 by the Sunday Times.
Although his fortune has grown from £150 million to £175 million in the last 12 months, he has slipped down to 17th place from 13th last year.
Overall, Indian-born billionaire Gopi Hinduja and his family have held on to the top spot as their industrial and finance fortune ballooned from £35 billion last year to £37.196 billion.
