Rishi Sunak's wife Akshata Murty owns shares worth almost a billion dollars in Infosys while Queen Elizabeth II has personal wealth of about 350 million pounds ($460 million).
Akshata Murty, the Indian wife of embattled British finance minister Rishi Sunak, is richer than the queen as the daughter of a self-made tech billionaire and a no-less-formidable engineer and philanthropist mother.
Mr Sunak, once seen as a future prime minister of UK, has seen his popularity sink because of surging consumer prices, while recent reports that Ms Murty's foreign earnings are shielded from British tax authorities have added to the pressure.
Her father, NR Narayana Murthy, 75, co-founded tech giant Infosys in 1981, the outsourcing behemoth that helped drive India's remarkable transformation into the "back office of the world".
Borrowing Rs 10,000 ($130) from his wife Sudha Murthy to help create it, the firm is now worth around $100 billion and was the first Indian company to list on Wall Street.
