You asked
I would like to make a freedom of information request. Ideally, this information would be as up to date as possible - I only require this information as a snapshot (I.e. the most recent year on record).
- How many people in the UK are currently considered to be high net worth individuals?
- What is the gender, occupation and age breakdown of these high net worth individuals?
