‘He doesn’t know what it’s like’: Low earners on the £730,000,000 man in No10

On the day it was clear he’d become prime minister, searches on Google for a single question shot up astronomically: ‘How rich is Rishi Sunak?’

Mr Sunak and his wife, Akshata Murty, have a net worth of £730,000,000, according to The Sunday Times Rich List, an annual catalogue of wealth. 

Their fortune, more than double that of King Charles II, is enough to buy more than 300,000,000 free school meals, one Labour MP calculated.

Mr Sunak’s father-in-law founded Infosys, the outsourcing giant that enjoys millions of pounds worth of contracts with the British government, according to an analysis by public spending tracker Tussell.

But does this all make Mr Sunak too out of touch to guide the nation through a cost-of-living crisis, where basic essentials now carry eye-watering price tags?
