The prime minister and his wife were already the richest people to ever live in No.10 Downing Street – and are just getting even richer.Most of their wealth comes from Murty’s shareholding in Infosys, an IT company co-founded by her father and based in Bangalore, India.Murty received £13m in dividends over the last year from Infosys and is expected to receive another £10.5m this year.

Murty is still the breadwinner in their household by a long shot – although it’s worth remembering the prime minister is a former hedge fund manager. Sunak’s MP salary and PM salary account for just 6.5% of his personal income, with his hefty investment portfolio returns making up the rest.He made £2.2m in 2022/23, more than 60 times the average British salary, according to the Rich List. It’s not known how much he made per year before entering parliament in 2015.Prior to Sunak’s election as Tory leader and PM in late 2022, the pair were worth an estimated £730m.
