Angela Rayner net worth 2025: How much is Deputy Prime Minister worth, how did she make her money, previous jobs - what is her salary now?
The personal finances of the UK Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner is gaining attention amid the stamp duty scandal.
Angela Rayner, who is also Housing Secretary, has referred herself to the ministerial ethics adviser after admitting she underpaid on stamp duty on a rental property due to inaccurate legal advice. The Labour politician is also reported to have used her disabled son's NHS compensation to buy a second home.
There have been calls for Rayner's resignation but Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has come out in support of her. Ms Rayner is not paid anything to be Deputy PM as it is just an honorary title. She does, however, get a second wage as Housing Secretary. The basic annual salary for an MP is £93,904.
According to an official UK Government report, Ms Rayner receives an annual salary of £67,505 as Housing Secretary. This amounts to a total of £161,409, when her MP's salary is added.
Sir Keir Starmer earns £172,153 in comparison. This means Rayner's basic salary has risen by nearly £75,000 in the last year. The elected official received a basic salary of £86,583.96 during 2023-2024, according to the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA).
Rayner's net worth is reportedly up to around £4.7 Million ($6 Million) as of 2025, according to finance-monthly.com. The Daily Record contacted Rayner's office for comment around her net worth but declined.
Unlike many privately educated politicians, she had a more unusual start to her career. A former care worker from Stockport, Rayner was raised on one of the area's poorest council estate and left school when she was 16 with no qualifications after she fell pregnant.
After she gave birth to her son, Rayner studied British sign language and social care at college part time. She became a care worker for her local council in Stockport, a position which led her to be put forward as a union rep.
She quickly worked her way up to become Unison's convenor in the North West, before being elected as an MP for Ashton-under-Lyne in 2015 and taking on her role as Shadow Education Secretary.
