The new UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has left his dangling-from-a-zipwire days behind to call No 10 his new home. Within few hours of his tenure, the former London mayor has demanded new furniture.
But how much is Theresa May’s successor worth? Check it out:

Property
Boris bought a five-storey townhouse in Colebrook Row, Islington for £2.3m in 2009. The house was recently put up for sale for £3.75m and Boris is expected to make a £700,000 profit from the sale, according to experts. He also holds at least a 20% share of a Somerset property.
Boris also bought a house on Furlong Road in 1999 for £470,000. In 2009, he sold the home for £1.2m. As Boris was born in New York and holds a US as well as a British passport, he had a tiff with the US government over a £100,000 bill in unsettled capital gains tax.
