Blair's millions
It looks like he pays well:
A staff of 130, turnover in the tens of millions: Tony Blair has created enormous wealth, but nobody knows quite how.
However, a conversation Mr Blair had this week with his former agent, John Burton, provided a telling glimpse of what lay behind his veil of secrecy.
“I said, 'How many people do you employ’, and he said 130,” Mr Burton later disclosed, unable to disguise his bewilderment. “I mean it was 25 about two years ago and he said to me [then], 'I have got to earn £5 million a year to pay the wages’, so God knows what he has got to earn now to pay the wages.”
