An update to the MPs’ register of interests revealed that Mr. Johnson got over £750,000 in fees for three November talks.
Since resigning as prime minister three months ago, Boris Johnson has made almost £1 million from speaking engagements.
An update to the MPs’ register of interests revealed that Mr. Johnson got over £750,000 in fees for three November talks.
The presentations were given to Centerview Partners, an investment banking firm, Hindustan Times, and CNN Global Summit Lisbon.
Since he departed Downing Street in September, Mr. Johnson has earned a total of £1,030,780 from speaking engagements.
According to the records, Mr. Johnson was paid £277,723 by the New York-based investment banking firm Centerview Partners for a lecture on November 9, and he and two staff members were provided with transportation and lodging.
According to the register of interests, this represented nine hours of labor, making his hourly rate about £31,000.
The Hindustan Times paid him £261,652 for a speech on 17 November, while Televisao Independente paid him £215,275 on 23 November to appear at the CNN Global Summit Lisbon.
The data indicate that the latter two provided Mr. Johnson and two employees with food, transportation, and lodging.
In the Register of Members’ Financial Interests, all members of Parliament are required to record any donations, earnings, and gifts.
Mr. Johnson’s most recent entry also indicates that he and his family continue to get monthly housing worth $3,500 from Conservative contributor Lord Bamford, chairman of JCB, and their wife.
It was previously rumored that the former prime minister was negotiating a lucrative speaking contract with one of Hollywood’s most prominent talent agencies following his failed bid for a second term as prime minister following the resignation of Liz Truss.
According to sources, he could earn tens of millions of pounds from speaking engagements and television appearances if he worked prolifically for a couple of years after leaving Downing Street.
Theresa May, who preceded Mr. Johnson, has also made a rich career out of giving lectures since leaving office.
The register of interests reveals that she was paid almost £107,000 for a five-hour speech she delivered in London for the World Travel and Tourism Council in November.
In October, she was compensated £97,00 for delivering a speech to the Apax Partners legal company in New York, in addition to £8,000 for delivering a one-hour virtual speech.
