Akshata Murty: Wealthier than King Charles III
A Deep Dive into the Finances of the UK Prime Minister's Wife
Breaking News: Murty's Net Worth Surpasses Royal Fortune
Akshata Murty, wife of UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, has amassed a personal fortune that surpasses that of King Charles III, according to recent reports. Murty, a daughter of the Indian billionaire N. R. Narayana Murthy, co-founded the fashion label Akshata Designs and owns a significant stake in Infosys, the IT services company founded by her father.
As of 2022, Murty's net worth is estimated to be in the range of £730 million to £830 million (approximately $920 million to $1.1 billion), according to the Sunday Times Rich List. This staggering figure places her among the wealthiest women in the United Kingdom and makes her the richest spouse of a British Prime Minister in history.
Murty's wealth is primarily derived from her stake in Infosys, which she inherited from her father. She is the largest individual shareholder in the company, with a stake valued at approximately £700 million (approximately $900 million). In addition, she has earned significant income from her fashion label and other business ventures.
The revelation of Murty's immense wealth has sparked a debate about the financial transparency and potential conflicts of interest faced by politicians and their spouses. Murty's non-domiciled status in the UK, which allows her to avoid paying taxes on her overseas income, has also drawn criticism from some quarters.
