When Boris Johnson departs Downing Street, he will make so much money from US TV networks, books, and major corporations that he “may not even bother with the UK,” analysts told MailOnline today.
The outgoing Prime Minister is expected to make £100 million after his time in No. 10 is done, especially if he continues married to Carrie.
Mrs. Johnson’s devotion to net zero has softened her husband’s image, given him a fresh connection with Joe Biden and his First Lady Jill, which will increase his prospective revenues, and helped him “bond” with them.
According to Nigel Farage, who spoke to MailOnline, the departing PM will try to take over America and make a fortune from its TV networks and speaking circuit. Even moving to the US is a possibility.
The Brexit supporter stated: “You can expect to see a lot of Boris, very very soon.” I was on Fox News, Fox Business, and MSNBC last night. He got along well with both of the previous US Presidents and was born in New York.
“Trump liked him, and with Carrie’s assistance, he grew close to Biden on net zero.” At the G7 they appeared to be extremely friendly, and if he is not solely dependent on Trump he will be more accessible to the JP Morgans of the globe. He may not even bother with the UK because of the enormous amount of money available to him in the US.
Mark Borkowski, a PR strategist and brand expert, claimed today that quitting No. 10 now would help Boris maximize his earnings. Mark reckons Boris may make £100 million in the next five years if he stays with Carrie.
Boris Johnson should leave Downing Street right once, he argued, in order to “unshackle the chains and take the money.” Especially in the US, there will be TV appearances and lecture trips. Americans will understand how he has attempted to hold on to the rump of authority like Trump did because of his evident connection to the president, and keep in mind that he has a huge family to support.
According to Mr. Johnson, he will leave Downing Street by the fall, creating countless opportunities for him to make “cash by the barrowful” like his predecessors. He may soon overtake Tony Blair as the richest living former prime minister of Britain.
And if he decides to resign as an MP, his chances of starring on a reality program like Strictly or I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here have been reduced to as little as 12/1.
“Boris is going to make loads and loads of money — tens of millions of pounds or more,” added Mr. Borkowski. Consider the number of people who will be interested in reading his memoirs about Brexit, Partygate, and his closing days in No. 10.
Remembering that he has a huge family to support, she continued, “He and Carrie are hardly Posh and Becks, but she is no fool – together they are a force to be reckoned with.”
Tony Blair is thought to be worth close to £100 million, with a portfolio of family properties totaling about £35 million.
Based on what David Cameron made from his memoirs in 2018, Mr. Johnson may anticipate receiving at least £4.5 million up front and would likely earn £100,000 per speech, which is the rate Theresa May is thought to have charged for some engagements.
The Tory leader was obliged to divide his £6.5 million fortune, which included cash and assets including their family home, before being married to Carrie Symonds after his second wife Marina filed for divorce after 25 years of marriage.
According to reports, Boris yelled at aides about his future bride “purchasing gold wallpaper” and complained that he couldn’t afford the No. 10 flat renovations, which cost “tens and tens of thousands.”
Additionally, he had to give up his £275,000 annual salary for a weekly Daily Telegraph column and focus on his job rather than authoring historical books when he moved into No. 10. He’ll probably have the time to resume this work, most likely at a considerably faster pace.
The estimated net worth of David Cameron is £37.8 million, which includes the wealth of his wife Samantha, a wealthy entrepreneur and the eldest daughter of a baronet.
David Cameron has made £1.6 million from private business since leaving his position as prime minister in 2016, including consulting and speaking engagements. He refuted the BBC’s assertions that he received £7 million from Greensill Capital prior to the financial institution’s failure.
Gordon Brown, who succeeded as prime minister for a brief while after years of trying, is reportedly worth around £10 million. The former chancellor received up to £1.3 million a year in speaking fees while serving in Parliament, but he and his wife Sarah supported charities and gave every cent of it away.
Theresa May, the 65-year-old predecessor of Mr. Johnson, is said to have made more than £2.1 million from the lucrative speaking circuit in the three years following her departure from Downing Street.
It was disclosed last month that Theresa May received £109,000 for a five-hour speaking engagement.
The former prime minister received the money in May for a speech with the Danish Bar and Law Society in Copenhagen, according to the Register of Members’ Financial Interests.
Other profits listed on the record include an advance payment from JP Morgan Chase in April 2020 for two cancelled speaking engagements totaling about £160,370.
The new dates for both were 18 March 2021 and 16 November 2021, respectively.
Additionally, she got about £46,800 from the Cuyahoga Community College Foundation in Cleveland, Ohio for a virtual speaking engagement. The registration said that it lasted four hours.
