Biography
Rishi Sunak net worth is estimated at $800 million, making him the wealthiest Prime Minister in British history and one of the wealthiest politicians in the world. Much of his fortune comes from his wife Akshata Murty's shareholding in Infosys, the Indian IT giant founded by her father N.R. Narayana Murthy, worth approximately £700 million. Sunak himself built a significant career at Goldman Sachs and then as a partner at hedge fund TCI and later co-founder of investment firm Theleme Partners. He served as Chancellor of the Exchequer from 2020 to 2022 and as UK Prime Minister from October 2022 to July 2024.
