Former world leaders cash in after their time in office, and former U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May is no different.
As May is still in the U.K. parliament, however, she has to report the payment for the speeches she delivers around the world, a point noted by a reporter for Bloomberg News over Twitter.
It’s quite a list. May has racked up £1.45 million since 2019. JPMorgan Chase
JPM,
has hired her twice — once for a November, 2019, event in London, at a cost of £75,500, and again for two speaking events in April that were canceled, at a cost of £160,370. (The engagements will be rescheduled, according to the disclosure.)
UBS
UBS,
also has hired May, for £100,000, as has PricewaterhouseCoopers, at a cost of £96,000. The Structured Finance Association, with 360 members, paid £115,000 for a speech delivered in Washington, D.C.
May has spoken at two universities: Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, and Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas.
May became prime minister shortly after the U.K. voted to leave the European Union, where she spent three years unsuccessfully trying to reach an exit agreement.
