Britain's richest hedge fund managers have increased their joint wealth to an eye-watering £18bn over the past year.
Michael Platt of Belgravia-based BlueCrest Capital remains top of the pile with £3.7bn after his wealth ballooned by more than £700m in the last 12 months.
The Preston-born 51-year-old, who began to dabble in stocks as a teenager when his grandmother bought him £500 worth of shares, widened the gap over his rival hedgies who all, except two, swelled their wealth.
But the list lays bare a distinct lack of women occupying the most well-paid industry jobs at a time when gender equality in the City is under increased scrutiny.
Only two women feature on the list and these imbalances have come under fire from gender campaign groups such as the Women's Equality Party which told MailOnline that today's revelations are 'disappointing but unsurprising'.
Michael Platt, 51, the founder of BlueCrest capital, raked in £700m last year swelling his total bank balance to £3.7bn
Platt co-founded BlueCrest Capital Management in 2000 following almost a decade at banking giant JP Morgan.
Although he is a British citizen, and so makes this list, he moved to Geneva in 2010 before relocating again to tax haven Jersey in 2014.
The billionaire reportedly has an enormous private art collection that features in a secret showroom in the crypt of a dilapidated church in Marylebone.
Skulls, crucified monkeys and stuffed sparrow heads are also among the taxidermy sculptures which are showcased in the studio.
Princess Marie-Chantal, who along with father Robert Miller manages a £2bn hedge fund, has improved her bank balance by £200m
Second-placed Robert Miller, the CEO of Search Investment Group, is also the co-founder of the DFS retail chain
The American-born hedgie owns the staggering 36,000-acre Gunnerside shooting estate in Yorkshire
Second-placed Robert Miller, the CEO of Search Investment Group, is also the co-founder of the DFS retail chain.
The American-born hedgie owns the staggering 36,000-acre Gunnerside shooting estate in Yorkshire.
And he is the father of Princess Marie-Chantal who is the wife of Pavlos, the Crown Prince of Greece and heir to the Greek throne.
After a brief spell in Hong Kong, Marie-Chantal was schooled at the exclusive Institut Le Rosey in Switzerland where annual fees stretch above £100,000.
She reportedly began studying for a history of art degree in New York before dropping out following the Crown Prince's proposal to her on a skiing holiday in Switzerland.
