Rishi richer than the King as Sunak and wife see their fortune surge
The personal fortune of the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his wife Akshata Murty grew by more than £120 million over the past year.
The latest annual Sunday Times Rich List revealed their wealth grew substantially despite the wider UK billionaire boom coming ‘to an end’ in the face of tough economic conditions.
Mr Sunak and Ms Murty’s wealth was £651million in the latest list, soaring from £529million in 2023. The rise was linked to Ms Murty’s small stake in Infosys, the $70billion (£55.3billion) Indian IT giant co-founded by her billionaire father.
Her shares grew in value by £108.8million to nearly £590million for the year. But the couple’s wealth still remains below its level from 2022, when it sat at around £730million for the year.
It came as the list of the richest people in Great Britain showed that King Charles’ wealth also grew for the year, rising to £600million from £610million. The list recorded that the number of British billionaires tumbled again, continuing a theme seen in 2023.
