**The Bukhman Brothers: The Richest of Them All**
The Bukhman brothers have accumulated an astonishing fortune, thanks to the success of their free-to-play mobile games, including Township, Fishdom, Homescapes, and Gardenscapes. Their company, Playrix, employs over 4,000 people and has made them the richest game devs in the UK, with an estimated fortune of £12.5 billion.

**A Look into the List**
While the list is dominated by men, there are only three women featured. The list also highlights the vast fortunes accumulated by game devs and influencers, with some calling for them to pay more taxes.
