Six Israelis are among the fifty richest people in the United Kingdom, according to a report released by the Sunday Times.

Sammy and Eyal Ofer head the list of Israelis and are in 15th place overall with a total worth of 3.4 billion pounds. Lev Leviev, who only recently left Israel for London is ranked 21st with 2.5 billion pounds to his name.

Some lesser known Israeli tycoons also cracked the top 50, including Benny Steinmetz and brothers Eddie and Saul Zakai.

Of the top 20 richest billionaires on the list, only 6 were born in the U.K. Many of the tycoons, including Jewish Chelsea football club owner Roman Abramovich and Leviev, made their fortunes in Russia, after the fall of the Soviet Union.
