Most of us will never make it onto The Sunday Times Rich List but there's more than one way to be wealthy.
The Sunday Times Social List determines your wealth, not by how much money you make but by how rich you are socially. It does this by taking a look at your social networking activity and how much interest it generates amongst your friends and colleagues. It then uses this information to work out your worth and your place on the list.
