Dh2.9m a year, for working four days a month
George Osborne
London - Arab Today
Britain’s former finance minister George Osborne has said he will receive £650,000 (Dh2.9 million) a year working as an adviser to the US asset management fund BlackRock for around four days work a month.
Osborne made the declaration in his latest entry published this week for the official register of financial interests made by British lawmakers.
Osborne wrote that he expected to be paid £162,500 ($197,500, €187,000) a quarter as “adviser on the global economy” at BlackRock, the world’s largest fund manager, and expected to receive equity in the company in future.
The register of interests for Osborne as an MP also shows that he received more than £780,000 in payments for 14 speeches made since September 2016.
Osborne served as Chancellor of the Exchequer from 2010 until July 2016 when he left the government following the Brexit vote in a referendum in which he had campaigned hard for Britain to stay in the EU.
British ministers often sign lucrative contracts in the private sector when they leave the government but have to declare them if they remain MPs

The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
