Rishi Sunak, in London, on October 24. DAN KITWOOD /GETTY IMAGES VIA AFP Riche Sunak After David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, here is Rishi Sunak. Former budget minister, the 42-year-old man became, on October 25, the fifth conservative prime minister of the country since 2010. He also became on this occasion the first person of Indian origin and Hindu faith to occupy the job. Similarly, before him, no banker from Goldman Sachs, who is moreover almost a billionaire (the fortune of his couple is estimated at 850 million euros), had ever moved to 10 Downing Street.

Real estate trip Finally, note that at this time, Rishi Sunak was leaving his London residence, in the Kensington district. In this case, a five-bedroom house, with private garden, with an estimated value of 7.6 million euros. This property completes a real estate portfolio comprising a spacious apartment in another London district, a vast property in Yorkshire, and a house in Santa Monica (United States). For the first time, a man with a house in California becomes British Prime Minister. We definitely can’t stop progress. Find here all the chronicles “It may be a detail for you”.
