Is Rishi Sunak's wife richer than the queen?
Narayan Murthy is the founder of Infosys and one of the richest men in India. The Sunday Times placed Sunak in the 222nd position in Britain's richest people's list. His wife was estimated to be richer than Queen Elizabeth II, whose wealth was around £350 million at the time.

https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/uk/rishi-sunaks-net-worth-valued-at-730-million/articleshow/95051220.cms

Conservative Party MP Rishi Sunak and his wife Akshata Murthy have a combined net worth of over £730 million. The public interest in Sunak’s wealth grew again after he became the front-runner for the post of prime minister following UK Prime Minister Liz Truss’s resignation last week.

I saw a poll that a general election will wipe them out.

No commercials from the Democrats showing a video of Kevin McCarthy saying that Magats are going to install the same economic plan as the UK. Wish I were in charge, I would flood the air waves with the Magats economic plan, it would counter the gains they are making because of inflation.

Oh well. Ireland had an Indian PM. The US VP is Indian-Jamaican. Canada has an Indian defense minister. We can't all be H1Bs
