Rishi Sunak and his wife are richer than King Charles

If King Charles III's personal wealth is defined in very specific ways, then the new British prime minister is likely to be richer than the monarch.

Even as the cost of living has risen in the UK, Sunak and his wife, Akshata Murty, have been in the news for their wealth and lifestyle. According to the Sunday Times Rich List, the couple's worth is 800 million dollars.

According to The Guardian, their personal wealth is double that of King Charles and his consort.

The larger crown estate, worth billions of pounds, doesn't belong to the king.

The crown estate, which includes a diverse portfolio of buildings, art works, stretches of shoreline and seabed, forests, fields, and common land, is owned by the monarch only for a short period of time. They don't enjoy any revenue from it.

Who is Akshata Murty?

The daughter of an Indian businessman is spelled differently than her father. The IT revolution in India was started by a company co-founded by Murthy.

An analyst at Global Equity Research told The Independent that Narayana Murthy is for India. The image of India was changed from a land of snake charmers to a place where services are provided. India has been placed on the world map.

According to Forbes, Murthy is worth $4.5 billion and his company is worth $75 billion. A big part of Sunak and Murty's wealth is due to Sunak's daughter owning a stake in the company.

Murty and Sunak own at least four properties, one of which is a seven-bedroom house in London. In California, they own a flat. Their real-estate portfolio is estimated to be close to 18 million dollars.

The British arm of Narayana Murthy's venture capital firm is also owned by Murty. The company manages over a billion dollars in India.
