With his ascent to prime minister, Rishi Sunak and his wife Akshata Murthy will become the richest ever occupants of Number 10 Downing Street just as the country struggles with an economic crisis and the government mulls painful spending cuts.
In May, the couple entered The Sunday Times UK Rich List at number 222 with a reported net worth of 730 million pounds ($837 million), when Sunak became the first frontline politician to be on the list since it began in 1989.
