From the day Rishi Sunak became the prime minister of the United Kingdom, blissfully the major issues have somehow been lost in one din, that is regarding the wealth and rich hood of the Sunak couple, Rishi and his Indian wife Akhsata Murty, also a millionaire heir of the Indian super rich IT tycoon Narayan Murty, the co-founder of IT great Infosys.
What has been conspicuously missing out from the media reportage is the major issue, that is Britain’s faltering economy which led to the swearing in of a third PM in just one year and including the embarrassing exit of Liz Truss.
Neither the Conservative MPs nor the opposition are ever been quoted by the media as what are the road map of Sunak. Except that, he reiterated that he will unite UK not by words but by action.
How does his wife Ms Murty’s wealthy profile is going to help the problems being solved has never been questioned by critics. It is all about Sunak the billionaire and his wife the billionaire with a 730 million pounds plus several properties such tales make rounds in British and Indian media as well.
It is not the wealth of the duo that is going make the difference but the governance which is still awaited by the UK people.
The extraordinary wealth of the wider family of Britain’s super-rich Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his billionaire heiress wife Akshata Murthy has been laid bare, the media reported.
With an estimated net fortune of 730 million pounds that includes multiple properties in Britain and the US, a string of business interests and even a fleet of cars including a ‘high-spec’ Range Rover, a ‘top-of-the-range’ Lexus and a BMW, the Oxbridge former Goldman Sachs banker and his Stanford-educated spouse are by far the wealthiest occupants of Downing Street in the history, the Daily Mail reported.
Indeed, Akshata Murthy is said to be wealthier than even King Charles III due to her 430 million pounds stake in her billionaire tycoon father Narayana Murthy’s IT empire.
She has also continued to hold stakes in businesses over the years including a joint venture with Amazon, Cloudtail, in India worth 900 million pounds a year, a project she and Rishi set up together, Catamaran Ventures UK, shares in the firm which runs Jamie Oliver’s Pizzeria and burger chain Wendy’s in India, and Etonian tailor New & Lingwood, which makes pupils’ tailcoats costing 2,500 pounds each, Daily Mail reported.
Rishi’s father-in-law, dubbed ‘India’s Bill Gates’ due to his role pioneering the country’s tech boom, was recently ranked the sixth richest person in India and the 654th in the world after his remarkable success in founding Bengaluru-based IT firm Infosys in the 1980s, now a 9.6 billion pounds multinational that employs more than 3,45,000 people.
