The new Duke of Westminster (pictured left with girlfriend Harriet Tomlinson) has become the richest young person ever after inheriting £9.3 billion following his father's sudden death last year. He joins a host of fledgling aristocrats - such as Lady Charlotte Wellesley (pictured top right) and socialite India Rose James (pictured bottom right)- whose families have made their fortunes in everything from property to horseracing as well as the brewing business. Hugh Grosvenor, 26, became the seventh Duke of Westminster when his dad Gerald passed away in August last year. He inherited a whopping £9.3 billion and 300 acres across London's Mayfair and Belgravia - two of the most expensive areas in the world - as well as estates in Oxford, Cheshire and Scotland and properties around the globe. The Duke's staggering wealth makes up more than half of the combined £16 billion fortune of the top 50 people under 30 on the Sunday Times Rich List, which has been released today.
