Cash-rich careers
The majority of millionaires featured on our Vocational Rich List have stuck with the industries that they started out in and worked their way up. Clearly, it’s paid off!
Want to see if you’re on the right path?
There may well be a millionaire on our list who took a qualification in your industry. Take a look!
The League of Fortune
The League of Fortune shows the qualifications that feature on the Vocational Rich List and the corresponding wealth brought in by people in each industry.
We’ve only included the qualifications that made it onto the list this year – so don’t worry - you can still make a mint if you’re doing a work-related qualification outside these sectors.
