Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is the highest-paid Member of Parliament. As DeSmog revealed, during his first two years in the House of Commons, Farage racked up £2.3 million in income and gifts on top of his parliamentary salary, while a substantial amount of his income has come from overseas interests – including foreign governments, companies, and donors.

Our map and tracker, launched in April 2026, provides real-time data on Farage’s funds.

The interactive map allows you to explore the money trail, while the table below provides a full breakdown of the payments and perks received by Reform’s leader.

All the data is based on Farage’s official register of interests, dating back to July 2024.
