Although the UK is one of the G8, it isn't particularly wealthy any more. Britain's wealth started with the Industrial Revolution, when Britain was the main manufacturing country in the world due to its vast Natural Resources of coal and iron. This was supplemented in the 19th century with wealth brought in from the countries of the Empire.

It broke from Rome early and kept the money

It plundered Spanish Galeons from the New World by Piracy

It had/has creative people eresulting in it being the first to the Industrial Revolution

It built a very powerful navy under Henry 8th and continued by Elizabeth 1st enabling it to control the seas and become a major colonial power.

Warning - this answer is biased - it is a DEMOCRACY

Who says we are rich ? We are in recession and times are hard. Like all countries and I shan't name any, there are ebbs and flows..most in the long ago past, increased funds by piracy, not many European countries are exempt from that !
