The new UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak hasn’t taken on the job for the money – apparently, Rishi is richer than King Charles. Rishi and his wife Akshata Murty have an estimated fortune of £730 million ($A1.3 billion), according to the Sunday Times 2022 Rich List. The list placed them as the 222nd richest people in Britain. In comparison, the same list placed the late Queen Elizabeth II’s fortune at a measly £370m ($A660m). King Charles III and Camilla’s wealth is estimated to be between £300m ($A536m) and £350m ($A626m). Mr Sunak is a former hedge fund manager, and Ms Murty is the daughter of one of India’s richest men, Narayana Murthy, the founder of tech giant Infosys with a stake of about £690m ($A1.2b).
