Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has dropped to fifth place on Britain's Sunday Times annual 'Rich List'.
The British Billionaire, who was third last year, is now estimated to have an industry worth of £2.9 billion, along with his wife Slavica. Last year, Ecclestone's industry worth was estimated at £3 billion.
Ecclestone is not the only F1 figure to appear in the list, although his estimate worth is higher than all of the other motor racing names combined.
Among others are McLaren chief Ron Dennis, Sir Frank Williams and Eddie Jordan. New entries to the list include former Ferrari World Champion Jody Scheckter.
