Akshata Murthy is the wife of Rishi Sunak. But what is her profession, why does she have non-dom status, and what is her net worth?
Formerly Chancellor of the Exchequer, he was thrust into the national spotlight at the start of the coronavirus pandemic thanks to his crucial role attempting to manage the economy throughout. He was dubbed a 'political rising star' and narrowly avoided missing out on the top job to Liz Truss, after she won 57% of the Conservative vote to lead the party and take on the role of Prime Minister in September 2022.
But she was so much more than that: the 42-year-old daughter of Narayana Murthy, one of India’s richest men, is part of an impressive dynasty. And her own personal fortune has been underestimated until recently.Rishi and Akshata's wealth has become a bone of contention as the country struggles to get by with the cost of living crisis. And the pair have recently been seen attending events at the pricey private members' club LouLou's.
Akshata Murty is a citizen of India, the country of her birth and parent’s home,' her spokesperson said. 'India does not allow its citizens to hold the citizenship of another country simultaneously. So, according to British law, Ms Murty is treated as non-domiciled for UK tax purposes. She has always and will continue to pay UK taxes on all her UK income.'
When asked about his wife's shares, Rishi told reporters: 'I'm an elected politician and I'm here to talk to you about what I'm responsible for. My wife is not,' and denied he or his family were profiting from any business with Russia. 'I really don't think that's the case,' he said.: 'Infosys supports and advocates for peace between Russia and Ukraine.
