It has been estimated Ms Murty’s non-dom status could have saved her £20 million in taxes on dividends from her shares in Infosys, an Indian IT company founded by her father.
She later agreed to pay UK taxes on her worldwide income.
Other Yorkshire business owners on the Sunday Times Rich List included the Healey brothers, who own kitchen giant Wren, and Paul Sykes, the property investor who helped build Sheffield's Meadowhall.
