George Clooney has joined the ranks of Britain’s super-rich for the first time - thanks to his marriage to human rights lawyer Amal.
The couple
George, 53, has been included in the Sunday Times Rich List for the first time this year after his marriage to the high-profile lawyer in Venice last September.
His average annual earnings have worked out at about £12million thanks to a constant stream of box office hits, but he made £13million alone from Oscar-award winning film Gravity.

Be a style star in an embroidered dress like Amal
By now we've all realized that Amal Clooney has a closet full of designer clothes for every day of the week. The British barrister cut a striking figure back in March when she attended an event with her husband, George Clooney, in this Stella McCartney dress.
The sleeveless shift featured a see-through mesh design on both sides showing just a hint of skin but still keeping it classy. The form fitting silhouette highlighted Amal's slim physique.
Unfortunately this style is all sold out, but you can get your hands on a similar option at Neiman Marcus by clicking right. As for alternatives, we've got plenty in the carousel below.
We're especially smitten with the embroidered panels of the BCBG creation and the lace sleeves on the Reiss number. Keep the look simple with black heels and a box clutch and you'll score major style points.
The Hollywood heartthrob's iconic appearance in the Nespresso coffee advert is also believed to have earned him £26million.
Amal's career as a high-powered lawyer has added £1million to the joint fortune.
Other celebrities on the list include David and Victoria Beckham, as their joint wealth increases to £240million thanks to his sponsorship deals with Adidas and H&M.
The footballer, 39, is now one of the country’s leading philanthropists, with his latest project, 7: The David Beckham Unicef Fund, aiming to raise £7million for needy children in the next three years.

Today the wealthiest 1,000 people based in Britain are collectively worth £547billion, up from £258billion in 2009, an increase of 112 per cent.

The richest person in Britain is Ukraine-born Len Blavatnik, the Warner Music boss whose business empire also includes interests in metals and the digital media, who is worth £13.17 billion - up £3.17 billion on last year.
Second on the list are Indian-born brothers Sri and Gopi Hinduja, industrialists whose business interests make them worth £13 million.

The Queen has dropped out of the list of the 300 richest people in Britain for the first time this year.
Although her wealth has increased year-on-year, her assets have been dwarfed by hundreds of financiers and businessmen.
The list shows an increase in the number of self-made women earning big money. Denise Coates, who launched Bet.365 in 2001, rose 34 places to 44 on the list and her family firm is now worth £2.35 billion.
She worked as a cashier in Provincial Racing betting shops before training as an accountant and cashing in on the gambling boom.
Dame Mary Perkins, co-founder of Specsavers with husband Douglas, saw the family firm enter the list at 65 with a value of £1.45 billion.
