Rishi Sunak: Inside the Tory leadership candidate's fortune

His supporters have called his background "humble" and "modest".
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
From the start of the Conservative leadership campaign, Rishi Sunak has sought to downplay his vast wealth and privilege to tell a story of middle class aspiration, seeking to demonstrate he understands the financial challenge faced by ordinary citizens.
But tonight an investigation for this programme has uncovered new details about Mr Sunak's education, property and financial dealings - and raises new questions about whether his hedge fund paid him with assets in offshore tax havens.

The term privileged is ultimately subjective and broad. Everything can be a privilege. Being raised by two parents can also be regarded ss privilege.

I can’t help feeling like it’s Rishi’s PARENTS who are the meritocratic success story here, and Rishi’s trying to pass off himself as having the same humble beginnings they did. I don’t know many middle-income families that have an extra £22k per year for Winchester fees. That is some people’s annual salary after tax. The average middle income family would struggle to cover the fees of the private school Rishi was already attending, let alone Winchester. Of course It’s not a crime to be rich, it’s the pretences that irritate his fellow MPs and the public. Matthew Stuart writes about this ‘cosplaying poor’ mindset of sorts in _‘The 9.9 percent: the new aristocracy’._ He details how well-off professionals of the 9.9%, whose necks tire from looking up at those with even more, _“convince themselves that they don’t have any privilege at all [..] and conflate the stress of status competition with the stress of survival.”💬_ Did anybody here watch Gossip Girl? The Upper East Siders made the Humphrey’s feel so poor that they actually started believing it. Nevermind that their elite education was paid by their former rockstar dad who ran a successful art gallery, while they lived in a multi-million dollar loft in Brooklyn’s nouveau-riche hipster hangout, D.U.M.B.O, not to mention their Dad eventually marrying a billionaire - but they’re poor, remember? 😂 Dan Humphrey’s character was constantly called out for ‘cosplaying poor’ whilst living alongside billionaires and marrying into Manhattan’s most elite family. No offence but Rishi is definitely giving Dan Humphrey vibes! 😅

I love how they keep telling us that they've done nothing illegal when it comes to offshore tax havens. No, it isn't illegal because the financial elite have had the laws changed to suit themselves. If you look into what it takes to set up an offshore account its incredibly difficult, there are companies upon companies, mostly holding companies that don't actually employ anyone, but are there just to hold money. The whole process is very difficult and very expensive. Their entire purpose is to avoid paying tax and the premise is actually simple. As there is no tax on debt, someone from the UK with an offshore account, when needing money, contacts the offshore account company and gets a 'loan'. Of course it's not actually a loan because it's their own money. But because it's recognised as a loan when it comes to the UK, and therefore debt, there is no tax applied. The entire reason for having an offshore account is too evade paying tax, they have no other purpose. One of the real reasons the UK was sold the idea of Brexit was for that reason, the EU were closing tax loopholes such as tax avoidance or evasion from offshore accounts. Not the lie about regaining our sovereignty, we never lost our sovereignty so how could we regain it?

It’s the contempt with which he refers to the working class that is particularly revealing..

not gonna lie he sounds pretty privileged was born in a business of medicine where he went to a private school that literally looks like Hogwarts I will say maybe his parent weren't privileged but he defiantly was and even if that was more than 20 years ago things change after 20 years.

Every one wants a successful leader. We should appreciate of Rishi who is a self made man, a successful investment banker, entrepreneur and worthy of marrying another successful lady who had values from a father and mother who owns a company Infosys taglined by them as "Powered by Intellect and Driven by Values" and has proved it till day. He has the vision and skills to do the same to the country which he has done to his own life - to be successful. He comes from a great culture which is driven by values.

Let me tell you a story. Rishi Sunak and all that are like him WILL always put themselves first and foremost. You can like him or dislike him which ever but his main goal is for his OWN success and little else matters. Ordinary individuals are of little consequence to the individuals with Sunak's wealth!!

[@vaan1520]

Exactly! Tories do NOT care about society, the 'Country' or about 'levelling out'. They only care about their own riches and those of their millionaire supporters. Hence the millions of pound given to Tory donors over the pandemic. Disgusting. Get them out!

I think it is impressive that such a wealthy successful man enters politics to try and give something back. Reasonable to assume he will have more depth than someone who is in it for the perks.

I don't say this normally, but this seemed like a clear racist attempt at pulling down a man. None of the "arguments" presented here had any legs.
