Sunak, 42, would become the first non-white, the first British South Asian and the richest individual to have become the prime minister of the country. He is also younger than all his predecessors except William Pitt the Younger.
Sunak holds MBA from Stanford University and he and his wife Akshata Murty are the 222nd richest people in Britain, with a combined fortune of £730m as of 2022, double the wealth of King himself.
Sunak was Chief Secretary to the Treasury from July 2019 to February 2020 followed by his appointment as Chancellor of the Exchequer, the position he held till Boris Johnson's resignation as PM in July 2022.
Although it may be a great achievement for Sunak, but the road ahead is fraught with challenges considering the deep crisis Britain is going through, especially the economic instability and fuel shortages.
