Shinzō Abe is a Japanese politician who served as the Prime Minister of Japan and President of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) from 2006 to 2007 and again from 2012 to 2020. He is the longest-serving Prime Minister in Japanese history. He was confirmed as Prime Minister of Japan by a special session of the National Diet, becoming the first prime minister to have been born after World War II. Abe resigned as Prime Minister after one year in office, citing medical complications from ulcerative colitis, shortly after his party lost that year’s House of Councillors election.
After recovering from his illness, Abe staged an unexpected political comeback, becoming the prime minister for the second time in 2012. In August 2020, citing a significant resurgence of his ulcerative colitis, Abe announced that he would retire from politics. Abe is a conservative whom political commentators have widely described as a right-wing nationalist. Abe’s prime ministership was known internationally for his government’s economic policies, nicknamed Abenomics, which pursued monetary easing, fiscal stimulus, and structural reforms.
Shinzō Abe has an estimated net worth of $10 million.
