As Rishi Sunak takes office as the British Prime Minister, people are searching for information regarding his wealthy wife's assets. Many others want to know information such as whether Akshata Murthy has acquired British citizenship. Akshata Murthy, the wife of Britain's new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, owns $721 million worth of shares in India's leading IT company Infosys, a company co-founded by her father Narayan Murthy.

Akshata and Rishi Sunak met while studying for MBA in America on a Fulbright scholarship. The duo got married later. Even when Indian-origin Rishi Sunak was shining in politics in Britain, Akshata did not give up her Indian citizenship. Therefore, the income received from India is not taxed in the UK. Akshata's non-domicile status caused a great uproar in Britain. To these, Akshata replied that she is paying tax on her income from the UK.

Akshata acquires huge amounts every year based on the trading price of Infosys shares. Infosys had paid a dividend of Rs 32.5 per share from the financial year 2021-22. If we calculate this alone, Akshata got Rs 126.61 crore. She earned Rs 119.5 crore through dividends in the previous year as well. Rishi Sunak and Akshata have two children-Krishna and Anoushka.
