Rishi Sunak has announced he is spending his holiday in California - where he owns a penthouse flat worth an estimated £5 million. The prime minister also predicted he would explore a galaxy far, far away on his trip, by visiting a Star Wars experience at Disneyland. Mr Sunak met his wife while they were both students in the sunshine state and they bought the lavish apartment in Santa Monica, which reportedly even has a “pet spa”.
Earlier this year American president Joe Biden even joked about Mr Sunak’s home, teasing him “maybe you can invite me to your home in California”. Celebrities often seen in the area include actors Ben Affleck and Reese Witherspoon and music star Taylor Swift. Mr Sunak announced the destination of his holiday during a radio interview in which he also said he knows “families are struggling with the cost of living. And that’s why I set out as my top priority to halve inflation. “
