Nigel Farage, the prominent Brexit campaigner and Reform UK leader, has revealed astonishing financial gains totalling over £1.2 million in his latest declaration to the House of Commons.
Media Millions and Speaking Fortunes
The political firebrand's financial disclosure shows he earned between £1,210,000 and £1,235,000 during the 2023-2024 period. The bulk of this staggering sum came from his role as a presenter on GB News, where he received payments ranging from £800,000 to £825,000.
Farage's media presence has proven exceptionally lucrative, with additional income streams including:
- Substantial earnings from his own company, Farage Media Limited

Political Position and Financial Transparency
As an MP representing Clacton, Farage is required to declare all earnings exceeding £100 from secondary employment. His disclosure reveals he received eight separate payments from GB News between October 2023 and May 2024, each ranging from £100,000 to £105,000.
The financial revelation comes at a pivotal moment in British politics, with Farage positioning himself as a champion of ordinary working people while commanding media fees that dwarf the average UK salary.
