Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson (58) has already received more than a million pounds (about 1.14 million Swiss francs) in speaking money since his resignation in September.
Known for his florid rhetoric, Johnson was paid between £215,000 and £277,000 per speech, according to a Members’ Register of Financial Concerns from parliament.
Johnson is still a politician
In recent months, Johnson spoke with bankers and insurance companies in the United States and at a conference organized by the American television channel CNN. Johnson resigned in July amid a series of scandals after about three years in office. However, he remains a British Conservative MP in London’s House of Commons.
After his successor Liz Truss (47) resigned after only weeks in office, Johnson briefly attempted a spectacular political comeback in October.
Instead, Conservative MPs backed former Finance Minister and current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak (42). (SDA/euc)
