BBC reported on December 14th local time that former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson (Boris Johnson ) has earned more than 1 million pounds (about 8.6 million RMB) in two months since leaving (the residence of the British Prime Minister) on September 6th, has earned more than 1 million pounds (about 8.6 million RMB) in after just four speeches. It seems that Johnson 's life is never short of gold.
This income is much higher and easier than the position of the British Prime Minister to Johnson.
The annual income of the British incumbent prime minister is about 160,000 pounds (about 400,000 RMB); after resigned as prime minister, he will also receive a "subsidy" every year, is about 115,000 pounds (about 1 million RMB) .
A record document released by the British Parliament on Wednesday showed that the former prime minister gave three speeches in the United States, India and Portugal in November, with a total income of .754 million pounds (about 6.5 million RMB) . In October, he also gave a speech on U.S. and earned 5.276 million pounds (about 2.4 million RMB) .
The income in October was very easy anyway. Johnson gave a 30-minute speech in Colorado, USA, and then chatted with listeners from the insurance industry for 45 minutes . It took less than two hours to come down. His transportation and hotel accommodation are all borne by the organizer.
Most of the organizers who invited (hired) Johnson to give a speech were media, such as the US CNN, Portuguese TV station , Hindustan Times , etc.; and those who went to listen to Johnson's speech were mostly engaged in banking, insurance and other financial businesses.
Johnson's speech earns several times higher than his former Prime Minister Theresa May (Theresa May) .
Theresa May's two recent speeches earned just 105,000 pounds (about 900,000 RMB), and her speeches are generally executives in the financial field. Theresa May stepped down as prime minister in 2019.
Although Johnson is no longer the British Prime Minister, his political path has not yet reached a dead end.
In late October, Johnson quickly ended his leisurely vacation in Caribbean and returned to London, intending to take advantage of the position of prime minister, but in the end he gave up the battle for first choice.
Johnson had too few votes in the party at that time, and there was almost no chance of winning. He was forced to step down less than two months after he was forced to step down, and the scandal and infamy had not disappeared.
The most important thing is that he signed several business cooperation contracts at that time. According to the contract, if Johnson cannot be elected, his income will be greatly reduced and he will lose 10 million pounds (about 86 million RMB) of income.
Now, Johnson is still a member of the British House of Commons, and he recently told BBC that he will participate in the next British general election (2025). Whether it is running for the Prime Minister or the MP, it is very useful to him. Anyway, Johnson's big money owner still takes good care of him.
Johnson and his third wife Carrie Johnson, 23 years younger than him, are now living in a luxury house provided by Lord Anthony Bamford, the patron of the British Conservative Party.
Banford is the chairman of his family business, the British construction giant JCB Group. Since 2001, the billionaire has sponsored at least £14 million (about RMB 115 million) for the Conservative Party .
In Johnson's political career over the years, Bamford's shadow has appeared and disappeared. Johnson did not hide it.
When Johnson ran for Prime Minister in 2019, Bamford's JCB Group provided private jets, helicopters, and venues, and financial support.
In July this year, Bamford lent Johnson a luxury wedding to him, which covers an area of about 6.1 square kilometers.
After Johnson stepped down as British Prime Minister, he and his little wife moved out of the official residence of Prime Minister . Now, the couple lives for free in the mansion in this large estate in Bamford.
It is reported that in the past three months, Bamford has received about 50,000 pounds (about 430,000 RMB).
Johnson and his current wife don’t have a house to live in. He has three properties in the UK, one of which is worth 1.6 million pounds for sale at the beginning of the year.
Maybe they feel that their house is not as comfortable as the luxury house located in the "most beautiful countryside in the UK".
Johnson (a political family) has lived a generous life since he was a child and has the habit of spending money like soil. He himself said that if he had only rely on the Prime Minister's "meager" salary, he would not be able to survive. The more you can spend money, the more you have to make money. Johnson is good at this.
