Rishi Sunak and Akshata Murty's Wealth Surges by £120 Million to £651 Million, Sunday Times Reports
May 17, 2024, 11:23 AM
The personal fortune of UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his wife Akshata Murty has surged by more than £120 million over the past year, reaching a total of £651 million. This increase has elevated them to the 245th position on the UK Rich List, surpassing the wealth of the King. The significant rise in their wealth is largely attributed to Murty's stake in Infosys. According to the Sunday Times rich list, their combined wealth now stands at a colossal $823 million. This financial growth comes amid a period of economic hardship for many in the UK, with the country experiencing the biggest fall in living standards since records began. Despite the economic challenges faced by the nation, Downing Street emphasized that Sunak should be judged on his record rather than his wealth.
