British Prime Minister Riz Truss announced her resignation after 45 days in office. In his place, former Finance Minister Rishi Sunak (42), who won the leadership election of the ruling Conservative Party in the U.K., will become the new Prime Minister. He will be the first Asian and Hindu prime minister in British history.
And now, along with him, the “millionaire’s wife” Akshata Murthy (42), who will become the first lady, is attracting a lot of attention.
How did you meet Rishi Sunak? When? Where?
The new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak met Akshata when Rishi was studying at Stanford University on a Fulbright scholarship. Akshata studied economics and French at Claremont Makena University in California, U.S.A., then graduated from a fashion school, once in the workforce, and then went to the MBA course at Stanford University.
What about family? What does your father do?
Akshata is actually the daughter of Narayana Murthy, one of India’s leading billionaires. Akshata’s father, Narayana Murthy, is the founder of the software company Infosys and is known as the “Bill Gates of India.
What are Akshata Murthy’s assets?
According to The Sun, Rishi’s assets are estimated at £ 200 million and his wife Akshata’s assets amount to £ 500 million.
The couple owns at least four properties, including a £7 million house in Kensington, where they live with their two children, Krishna and Anushka, according to the Times.
However, according to reports, Akshata has a 0.91% stake in her father’s company, Infosys, worth £700 million, so her total assets are estimated at £1.2 billion (204.3 billion yen).
What does Akshata Murthy do for a living?
It is clear that she has a considerable fortune and is richer than King Charles of England. But what does Akshata usually do?
Akshata loves fashion and runs Akshata Designs, a fashion brand that was featured in India’s Vogue in 2011.
For me, it’s about the story behind a particular piece of clothing, authenticity, craftsmanship, and preserving a rich heritage,” she said in an interview at the time.
According to Akshata, being rich does not directly lead to class. Class is not about owning vast amounts of money,” she said in a 2017 interview.
There are many wrong ways to make money in the world. You may be rich enough to buy comfort and luxury, but that same money does not define class or buy it. Mother Teresa was an elegant woman. So was Manjul Bhargava, the great mathematician from India. It is an outdated train of thought that says if you have money, you automatically rise in class,” he said.
Along with the new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s skills, we can expect great things from the words and deeds of Akshata as First Lady and, of course, her classy fashion.
