1. Adam Afriyie, 44 - 2010 HOTTEST BOOKERISTA MALE
Conservative Party parliamentarian & entrepreneur | British Parliament
Birthplace: Wimbledon, England | Nationality: British | Residence: Windsor, England
Handsome looks, has created massive wealth through his own ideas, fit as a fiddle, and has political power. No wonder Booker Rising gave Mr. Afriyie the most votes. The son of a Ghanaian father and British mother is the UK's first elected black conservative parliamentarian. He is also a tech entrepreneur (specializing in providing information technology services to small- and medium-sized businesses) worth US$75 million-US$150 million. Some folks in Britain say that he could perhaps one day be Britain's first black prime minister.
Hotness factor: MP Afriyie, who is married, won this year's "Hottest Male Parliamentarian" award in Britain. ToryBear blog writes about sexy British politicians: "Body-wise, Mr Afriyie is the Elle McPherson of male politicians. I’d go running with him any day."
