Jeremy Hunt joins Cabinet rich list with £17m sale of company
Secretary of State for Health had the idea for the listings service while teaching English in Japan after graduating
Jeremy Hunt, the Secretary of State for Health, is set to become the richest member of the Cabinet after it emerged that he is in line for a £17m windfall from the imminent sale of his own company.
Hotcourses, an education listings service Mr Hunt co-founded before he became an MP, is believed to be close to a deal to be bought for £35m by the private equity firm Inflexion. Although he stood down as a director in 2009, he is understood to hold a 49 per cent stake in the company.
If the deal goes ahead, Mr Hunt, who is said to be worth £4.2m, would overtake Philip Hammond, the Secretary of State for Defence, as the wealthiest Cabinet minister. Mr Hammond is worth £8.2m, according to a survey last year by Wealth-X, which provides intelligence on the super-rich.
The disclosure of the business deal revived the debate over whether Mr Cameron's "cabinet of millionaires" is out of touch with ordinary people struggling during Britain's "cost of living crisis."
