While Cherie Blair's legal business flourished, the couple who have been famous Socialists, representing Labour party's underlying ethos, are facing severe criticism, for having amassed a property empire worth £27mn, besides other businesses. The Sunday Telegraph reported Cherie quit her human rights practice at the Matrix chambers to set up her own legal firm, where she allegedly bills clients around £1150 an hour.
Tony Blair's own umbrella constituency, Tony Blair associates is run as two parallel businesses- one advising governments and the other advising individuals and sovereign wealth funds.
Though it is hard to know what the Blairs are worth, some have estimated of £60mn, though they claim the valuation is too high.
