David Cameron is the prime-minister of the United Kingdom, a position he has held since May 11th 2010. He has an estimated worth of $50 million. Born October 9th 1966 in London, Cameron started his career in politics in 1988 as a researcher for the Conservative Party.
An academic, his good grades allowed him to enter Eton College, one of the UK's most exclusive public schools. Beginning as a researcher for the conservative party, he went on to become special adviser to the chancellor and then special adviser to the home secretary. He was elected as a member of parliament for Witney in 2001, a safe conservative seat. He became leader of the conservative party in 2005, after another Labour victory at the general election. The conservatives won the 2010 general election after joining with the Liberal Democrats to form a coalition, as no party had won a clear majority. Before this, the conservative party hadn't won a general election since 1992.
