  • Britain’s new prime minister is making history as the youngest leader in modern times, and the wealthiest in history – evident in the mansions he owns in London, Yorkshire and California
  • Rishi Sunak has a BMW, Lexus, Jaguar XJL, and two Range Rovers in the garage – but insists he drives a Volkswagen around town – and rocks a tough Peloton Britney Spears workout

Britain’s new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has made history on a list of counts: he’s the country’s first prime minister of colour, at 42, he’s youngest leader in modern times – and he’s also by far the wealthiest one.

Sunak and his millionaire wife Akshata Murty, 42 – daughter of Infosys founder billionaire Narayana Murthy – reportedly have a combined fortune of about US$830 million, according to The Washington Post. That’s more than that of the nation’s royals including late monarch Queen Elizabeth, recently appointed King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort.

It’s no surprise that the uber-wealthy couple live in a multimillion-dollar house. And not only one. He reportedly has four homes from the UK to the US, worth over US$17 million in total, according to The Guardian. He is now living with his wife and two daughters, Krishna and Anoushka, in a five-bedroom mews house in Kensington, West London, with an estimated price of nearly US$8 million. What cost of living crisis?

They also lived in another US$1.2 million flat in the same neighbourhood, which was close to the former Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, which now serves as a holiday home for visiting relatives, reports the Daily Express.
