Britain subsequently benefited from transforming itself from an imperial power to a financial power. Good documentary on it:

This is the reason that there's so many rich Russians knocking about e.g. https://old.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/p83ljc/offshore_adv...

They were a financial power long before. It kinda came with the territory, being a global empire.

They did well to hold on to it, though.
