Priti Patel – $3.1 million
Priti Patel’s rise to office as the United Kingdom’s current home secretary is an inspiring success story. Born to an immigrant family, she learned the value of hard work early in life as she helped her parents manage their newsagent chain in England.
No wonder she managed to build a $3.1 million fortune for herself over the years. This wealth is largely thanks to her cabinet and directorship post, which earned her around $169K in 2019. Patel, who faced ire in 2021 for reportedly discouraging vigils for Sarah Everard, also serves as a director for the software company Accloud.
