Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has declared a payment of £270,000 for advertising gold bullion, marking the largest sum registered since he became a Member of Parliament. The payment was received from Direct Bullion for work that Farage stated amounted to an estimated four hours per month over a three-month period.
This is not the first time Farage has registered income from Direct Bullion. Previous declarations include a payment of £91,200 in February 2025 and another of £135,000 in November 2025. Farage's spokesman confirmed he is a brand ambassador for the company, a role previously reported and declared.
In the most recent declarations, Farage also recorded an estimated £18,402 for his work as a presenter on GB News. He has previously reported earnings exceeding £80,000 from filming personalized messages on the Cameo platform, a service he stated he paused in March due to security concerns.
Farage, the Member of Parliament for Clacton, has faced scrutiny regarding his finances, including an undeclared £5 million gift from cryptocurrency investor Christopher Harborne. Farage has asserted that the gift did not require declaration as it was received before his election to Parliament and was not a political donation. The Parliamentary Standards Commissioner is currently investigating whether this situation breaches parliamentary rules.
MPS are permitted to hold second jobs separate from their parliamentary duties, provided they declare any income exceeding £300 annually. However, they are prohibited from providing paid parliamentary advice. Anna Turley, Labour chair, commented that Farage should focus on his constituents in Clacton rather than earning from gold sales.
