Rishi Sunak has become the first “frontline politician” to join The Sunday Times Rich List, days after he warned the nation of a “tough” few months of spiralling prices. The Chancellor and his wife, Akshata Murty, appear 222nd on this year’s line-up with a combined fortune of £730m, mainly from Murty’s stake in her dad’s IT company Infosys.
