Boris Johnson has made more than £1m from giving speeches since leaving No 10, parliamentary records show.
The former prime minister was paid £754,000 for three speeches in America, India and Portugal last month, according to the latest register of MPs’ interests.
It comes on top of £276,000 he made from a speech in October.
The records also show he and his family have continued to receive accommodation from Tory donor Lord Bamford. Mr Johnson registered a further £3,500 in accommodation from the JCB boss and his wife Carole for November and December.
That was in addition to the £37,000 for accommodation he had previously registered from the couple since leaving office in September.
According to the latest update to the register, Mr Johnson was paid £277,723 by New York-based investment banking firm Centerview Partners for a speech on 9 November.
He then received £261,652 from the Hindustan Times for a speech on 17 November, and £215,275 from Portuguese TV station Televisao Independente for a speech on 23 November during the CNN Global Summit in Lisbon.
It was always going to happen
However it sickens me that many people can’t afford to properly heat their homes whilst Johnson cheating & lying past are making him a fortune .
A company set up by ex-PM Boris Johnson after he left Downing Street, has received a £1m donation from crypto currency investor Christopher Harborne, parliamentary records show. Mr Harborne has previously donated more than £15m to the Conservatives, the Brexit Party, and Reform UK. The donation to the Office of Boris Johnson Ltd is likely to fuel speculation about Mr Johnson’s future political ambitions.
The register of MPs’ interests also show that Mr Johnson has personally received some £300,000 for two speeches made in December. He was paid £50,000 by property developers the Ballymore Group and £253,880 by tech firm ParallelChain Lab for speaking engagements in London and Singapore. This comes on top of the £1m Mr Johnson had already earned for giving speeches since leaving Downing Street.
Those around Mr Johnson are keen to draw a distinction between the money he directly receives and donations given to his office - including the £1m from Mr Harborne.
Mr Johnson has also registered a further £13,500 in accommodation from JCB boss Lord Bamford and his wife Carole for January and February. It brings the total value of accommodation he has registered from the couple for him and his family since leaving Downing Street to £74,000.
The nearly £2.5m advance in his latest declaration is from the New York-based Harry Walker speaking agency, for an unspecified number of speeches. It comes on top of almost £1.8m he has registered since leaving office for nine speeches delivered in the US, India, Portugal, the UK and Singapore.
As well as a £510,000 advance for his political memoirs from publisher HarperCollins, he has also declared £1,943 since leaving No 10 in royalty payments for previously written books.
Mr Johnson’s latest declarations are the latest demonstration of how much former leaders can earn shortly after leaving office through book deals and on the lucrative speaking circuit.
No matter how much BJ “earns”, he’s always on the lookout for a freebie …
