For the past six years City & Guilds has produced the Vocational Rich List. The list charts the wealth of UK millionaires who made their money using work-related training.

This year's results put 'King of Bling' Laurence Graff of Graff diamonds at the top with a personal fortune of £2 billion. Graff's estimated wealth has risen almost thirteen times since the list began in 2003.

The diamond magnate is followed closely by JCB's Sir Anthony Bamford, Phones4U founder John Caudwell, Trevor Hemmings from the property sector and Newport's Sir Terry Matthews.
