Rishi Sunak: Britain’s new prime minister Rishi Sunak and his family will live in the flat above number 10 Downing Street, despite owning a string of luxury properties including one in London. Sunak is ultra rich and owns a penthouse in California, an apartment in London’s exclusive Kensington district and a mansion in his Yorkshire constituency in the north of England.

But the prime minister’s secretary confirmed he will be moving into Downing Street.
“They will be moving into the No 10 flat,” the spokeswoman said, adding that she did not know if they had any plans to redecorate.
BoJo’s trouble
The ousted premier Boris Johnson got into trouble over an expensive refit of his prime ministerial flat. The lavish refurbishment of his flat, was overseen by his wife Carrie and the funds that went into redoing the flat gave ample ammunition to Johnson’s critics.
The details of expensive rolls of wallpaper, hyper-fashionable soft furnishings and deep-pocketed donors became the stuff of endless newspaper articles that ultimately undermined his authority.
Although the No 10 flat in Downing Street is in a prime location, it is relatively small.
Rishi Sunak’s move there will mark a return the flat being the London home of the British prime minister.
No redecorations
The Sunaks, who have two daughters and a Labrador dog, however, are unlikely to go for any flat redecorations. Before marrying the daughter of Indian billionaire Narayan Murthy in 2009, Sunak worked at Goldman Sachs investment management company.
His wife Akshata Murty owns a substantial stake in her father’s Infosys software company.
Together, the couple are on The Sunday Times rich list, with a net worth of 730 million pounds.
