After statistics revealed the staggering sum of money Nigel Farage has made since joining Parliament, he was called "Nine Jobs Nigel."
Based on salary in relation to hours worked, it has been revealed that his position as MP for Clacton is actually the one that pays the least, with eight other positions paying far more. In less than six months, he has earned £571,585 from side gigs, according to the figures.
However, what are these positions? What has he said about the other roles, too? Here is all the information we currently have regarding his compensation during the previous six months.
Gold bullion seller

Mr Farage worked for 24 hours to earn this amount, equating to a massive £8,000 per hour worked.
His work as a “brand ambassador” for the “tax free” gold investment firm Direct Bullion is the best paying of all his nine jobs, when you compare time spent to money earned.
He declared £189,300 for working four hours a month since being elected as a MP. He has said that “includes payment for work undertaken prior to the election”.

Personalised videos on Cameo

His Cameo page suggests using Mr Farage a Valentine’s message, to “roast someone” or even to promote a business.
Influencer on YouTube/Google

Journalist at the Telegraph
£24,000

His musings earn him a handsome sum of £24,000 - which is around £250 an hour.
Influencer on X
£5,482
Nigel Farage earns thousands via Elon Musk’s “creator revenue” programme, which allows premium users with more than 500 verified followers to monetise their accounts.
Mr Musk, who promotes the system as a way for users to “get paid to post” and “earn a living on X”, previously claimed the revenue-sharing programme would reward “accuracy over sensationalism”.
Influencer on Facebook/Meta
£2,795
As with YouTube and X, Mr Farage is making a decent sum for airing his views and engaging with people over on Facebook.
Member of Parliament
£91,000 plus expenses
Mr Farage is the MP for Clacton and the leader of the Reform Party.
There’s no denying £91,000 is a lot of money - but when you work out the hourly rate, this is the worst paid of Mr Farage’s many employments.
What has been said about his earnings?
Mr Farage told the Mirror the figures do not give an accurate picture because of the reporting system.
