New UK PM Rishi Sunak and wife Akshata Murty are richer than the royals with almost $850M By Chantelle Francis, News.com.au October 24, 2022 8:54pm Updated ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED BY: The new residents of No. 10 Downing Street will be richer than those in Buckingham Palace. Rishi Sunak, who will become the UK’s new Prime Minister, and his wife Akshata Murty have an estimated fortune of $845.5 million, according to the Sunday Times 2022 Rich List. The list placed them as the 222nd richest people in Britain. In comparison, the same list placed Queen Elizabeth II’s fortune at $418.5 million before her death. King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort’s weath is estimated to be between $339 million and $396 million, according to the Guardian. Sunak is a former hedge fund manager but Murty is the daughter of one of India’s richest men.

Narayana Murthy is the founder of tech giant Infosys and at the time the Rich List was published in July, Murty owned a stake worth about $780 million. Murty, who is also a fashion designer, invests in start-ups through her private investment firm, Catamaran Ventures UK. In May, the Bloomberg Billionaires Index put her net worth at about $1.3 billion.

They have two daughters. They have a property portfolio of four homes worth an estimated $17 million, including a penthouse in Los Angeles overlooking the beach where “Baywatch” was filmed, according to The Guardian. Earlier this year it was revealed Murty, an Indian citizen, had opted to claim non-domiciled status, which meant she paid $33,932 a year to not have to pay local tax on overseas income. The BBC estimated she would have avoided $2.4 million a year in UK tax. She relinquished the status after intense backlash. Sunak was Chancellor of the Exchequer, the government’s chief finance minister, at the time. “I understand and appreciate the British sense of fairness and I do not wish my tax status to be a distraction for my husband or to affect my family,” Murty said in a statement. “I will now pay UK tax on an arising basis on all my worldwide income, including dividends and capital gains, wherever in the world that income arises. I do this because I want to, not because the rules require me to.” Sunak won’t only be one, if not the, richest UK prime ministers in history, he will also be the first prime minister of color and the youngest person to take office in more than 200 years. He takes over from Liz Truss, who he lost the leadership race to in September. She resigned last week after 44 days in office. Truss will hold a final cabinet meeting on Tuesday morning local time before submitting her resignation to King Charles III, who will then appoint Sunak as prime minister. Sunak secured the top job after Leader of the House of Commons Penny Mordaunt pulled out of the Conservative Party’s leadership race. Boris Johnson, who resigned as PM before Truss, dramatically dropped out of the race as well. 6 What do you think? Post a comment. Addressing the public for the first time after confirmation he would be the nation’s next PM, Sunak said Britain faced “a profound economic challenge”. “We now need stability and unity and I will make it my utmost priority to bring our party and our country together,” he said. “Because that is the only way we will overcome the challenges we face and build a better, more prosperous future for our children and our grandchildren.” FILED UNDER BUCKINGHAM PALACE FORTUNE KING CHARLES III QUEEN ELIZABETH II ROYALS UNITED KINGDOM 10/24/22 READ NEXT Letters

That was a good interview. Alexander makes an excellent commentator of the British political situation, much better then 95% of the usual crowd, at least. UK politics is a rolling disaster, the electorate are also divided and confused in most cases. More disasters may help them to see things more clearly, but that won't help.. Listening to Alexander, Sunak may be the best choice for peace in the Ukraine. That would be a good feather to put in his cap. Independent wealthy people sometimes make better leaders because their wellbeing is better protected by their wealth, so they can be more independent with decision making and can take bigger risks if needed. He will just look after the interests of those in his circle of course. I think gold, silver and cryptos are the things to buy now Sunak is at the wheel. It has been the case to date this year, but it's enhanced further now. That falls in line with my plans. Like Sunak, Starmer is not good news for the country, worse than Sunak I think, and I am hoping some things will happen that will head off his turn at premiership before he gets there.
