Tony Blair has taken a part-time post with US investment bank JPMorgan.Mr Blair, who stood down as UK prime minister in June last year, has been employed "in a senior advisory capacity", the bank said.
Since leaving Number 10, Mr Blair has been an unpaid envoy for the Quartet of Middle East peace negotiators.
It is not known how much JPMorgan will pay him, but some estimates say more than $1m (£500,000) a year. The bank said he had a "unique perspective".
Cringing beneath the rich man's frown can be awfully profitable, it seems.
