David Cameron is known for being the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom since 2010, a position where he has made large scale changes to numerous policies that include immigration, welfare, healthcare and education. As of mid-2016, sources estimate a net worth of $50 million, mostly earned through a successful career in politics, and from his family. His great-great grandfather, Alexander Geddes, was responsible for a family fortune earned from a grain business.
Cameron was born on October 9, 1966, in Marylebone, London, United Kingdom, and comes from English, Scottish, Welsh, and German-Jewish ancestry. He attended Heatherdown School, and later Eton College before being offered an exhibition scholarship at Brasenose College, Oxford University, where he studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE), eventually graduating in 1988 with first class honours.
Cameron started his political career in the Conservative Party Research Department, eventually becoming a Special Adviser to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He later became the Director of Corporate Affairs at Carlton Communications before running for Parliament and becoming a member, with various roles in committees and shadow ministerial positions. Despite criticisms on his inexperience, he was voted in as the leader of the Conservative Party and later became Prime Minister, focusing on uniting differences and working with the Liberal Democrats.
Cameron married Samantha Gwendoline Sheffield in 1996 and they have four children. His net worth has been estimated at $50 million.
