'Now it emerges that another property has been added to the Blair portfolio – this
time a new home for son Nicky – as they continue to invest the former Prime
Minister’s growing fortune in some of the capital’s prime locations.
The four-storey, £1.35million Georgian townhouse in central London was paid for
with cash.It is the third costly home in almost as many years that the Blairs have
bought, mortgage-free, for their children and brings the combined value of the
seven properties owned by the family to an estimated £20 million.'

Tony Blair's Byzantine world of advisers and lucrative deals
Since leaving office, Tony Blair has adopted many roles. The international statesman.
The guardian of Africa. The religious leader. The global businessman.

He travels the world, a highly publicised diplomatic mission in the morning and a
private, never mentioned, business deal signed in the afternoon. Combining these
myriad, sometimes apparently conflicting, personas requires skill and dexterity – and a
global organisation he has quietly built to service them. An investigation by The Sunday
Telegraph can reveal new details of the complex structure behind “Tony Blair Inc”. It
can also be disclosed that Mr Blair has built links with Monitor Group, an American
public affairs consultancy that earned millions of pounds working for Col Muammar
Gaddafi, the deposed Libyan dictator.
The former Prime Minister employed at least three staff from Monitor Group as senior
advisers to his personal office at the same time as he put together multi-million pound
deals in Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The men were all on the payroll of
the US consultancy firm at the same time as they were representing Mr Blair.

Tony Blair's Byzantine world of advisers and lucrative deals
24 Sep 2011
Monitor, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is the subject of increasing scrutiny in the
US over millions of dollars it earned attempting to boost the image of Gaddafi.
Mr Blair’s organisation, a Byzantine web of highly specialised limited partnerships and
parallel companies, is baffling in its structure.
He has a commercial consultancy, Tony Blair Associates, and jobs advising JP Morgan,
the US bank, and Zurich Financial Services, the Swiss insurer. He has set up two major
international charities, the Tony Blair Africa Governance Initiative (AGI) and the Tony
Blair Faith Foundation. Much of Mr Blair’s income has been funnelled through a structure
called Windrush Ventures, which also runs and pays for the Office of Tony Blair in
Grosvenor Square, London.
From here, Mr Blair and his staff coordinate his commercial activities, reputedly bringing
in £7 million a year. The organisation lets Mr Blair’s roles overlap. A role fostering good
governance in Africa, designed to combat corruption, also establishes excellent contacts
with local leaders with the power to award contracts.
His diplomatic role as Middle East peace envoy for the Quartet (the UN, Russia, US, and
EU) also gives Mr Blair unfettered access to the leading political players in the region. It
also allows just the sort of introduction a client might later require.
At its heart of this international juggling act are a loyal coterie of staff. Our investigation
shows how Mr Blair has pulled together a team which spans loyal former staff from
Downing Street, high-flying management consultants and a series of well-connected,
and, in many cases, wealthy, Americans from Wall Street and the Bush and Clinton
administrations. One of the key figures is Ruth Turner, Mr Blair’s former director of
government relations at Number 10, who is chief executive of his Faith Foundation and
paid a reputed six-figure salary. She has no role outside Mr Blair's charitable
foundations and is not involved in his commercial activities.
She leads a line-up of people recruited from senior positions in government, including
Nick Thompson, now the chief executive of AGI, who previously headed up the climate
change unit at the Department for Business. Paul Skidmore, AGI’s director of strategy
and fund-raising, is a former adviser to David Miliband, and Andrew Ratcliffe,
its “lessons learned” project leader, was in Mr Blair’s Downing Street Strategy Unit.
Other Whitehall allies are scattered around the world.
Malte Gerhold, once of the prime minister’s Delivery Unit, is project leader for AGI in
Sierra Leone, along with two former colleagues, while a similar project in Rwanda is led
by Jonathan Reynaga, an ex-Downing Street senior policy adviser. Mr Blair’s Whitehall
links also connect him to the Monitor Group. Monitor paid Sir Mark Allen – formerly MI6
director of counter terrorism and the man who paved the way for Mr Blair’s first visit to
Gaddafi in Tripoli in 2004 – as a consultant.
After leaving the Secret Intelligence Service, Sir Mark used his Middle East contacts to
help BP win a series of deals in Libya and forged close links with Saif al-Islam Gaddafi,
the dictator’s son. Mr Blair began to use Monitor staff in 2008. Between December 2009
and May last year, Abdullah AlAsousi was the Office of Tony Blair’s senior adviser in
Kuwait, when he also worked at Monitor to help clients with “opportunities” across the
Middle East. Last year, he was replaced by Naser Almuntairi, another Monitor
consultant, who acts as Mr Blair’s government consultant in Kuwait. The former prime
minister also employs an American, Holly Barnes, a public relations expert, in Kuwait.
She is paid directly through Mr Blair’s holding company Windrush Ventures. All three are
believed to have been involved in Mr Blair’s deal advising the country’s monarchy, which
has earned him a reputed £27 million. Another Monitor employee, Khaled Jafar, is Mr
Blair’s “government consultant” covering Dubai and its neighbour Abu Dhabi, to whose
Crown Prince, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan, Mr Blair is close.
Mr Blair has praised the UAE for millions of pounds of help for Palestinian
community projects, and Sheikh Mohammed’s state investment fund, Mubadala, is
said to have Mr Blair on its payroll. Mubadala’s interests include oil exploration
contracts in Libya. It is with the American worlds of politics and finance that Mr
Blair has found especially close ties. He relies on the advice of a series of well
connected businessmen, the foremost of which is Paolo Pellegrini, a financier.
Mr Pellegrini, is president of AGI in the US, and was once the right-hand man of
John Paulson, a hedge fund boss. It was Mr Pellegrini who predicted the collapse of
the US subprime housing market, prompting Mr Paulson’s fund to bet on the
collapse of the US housing market, netting a $20 billion (£12 billion) profit. Another
key adviser is Tim Collins, a billionaire businessman who accompanied Mr Blair on a
trip to Libya to meet Gaddafi. A friend of Bill Clinton, he is a director of the Tony
Blair Faith Foundation, like Linda LeSourd, whose husband Philip Lader was an
ambassador to London. But he is able to call on people close to the Republicans:
one adviser to the Office of Tony Blair is Milli Anne Grigory, an adviser to George W
Bush and a Republican fund-raiser. Last night, a spokesman for Monitor Group
said: “Monitor has no business relationship with the Office of Tony Blair.”

Tickets for a head-to-head between Tony Blair and Christopher Hitchens go on sale
today. The drawback is that the event is in Toronto. The newly converted Catholic
former prime minister and the trenchant polemicist and atheist will debate the
motion: "Be it resolved, religion is a force of good in the world." Here's how it might
go . . .
Hitchens: Do you think it's curious we're meeting somewhere neither of us live?
Blair: Not at all. God told me to go forth and spread the word among the heathen.
Hitchens: Did he also mention you'd probably be lynched if you went back to the
UK, and that the Canadians aren't that bothered by the situation in the Middle East?
Blair: A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country.
Hitchens: Chill out. I don't give a toss about Iraq. I was up for nuking the place
from the start.
Blair: It is sometimes hard to perform God's work.
Hitchens: You're sounding like the Taliban now. Look, there was an Islamic dictator
and a load of wacko fundamentalists running the place and you went in and took
them all apart. Top job. Apart from the fact you failed, but I guess we'd both
sooner forget about that.
Blair: God moves in mysterious ways . . .
Hitchens: He sure does. How do you square away your Church covering up
widespread child abuse by its own priests . . .
Blair: Suffer the little children . . .
Hitchens: And how! And what about the Church's attitude towards condoms?
Blair: The Lord said, "Go forth and multiply" . . .
Hitchens: . . . the Human Immunodeficiency Virus. OK wiseguy, here's another one
for you. If God was a human, would he arrest the Pope?
Blair: La, la, la. I'm not listening.
Hitchens: Neither is God. I've got cancer. But I blame the fags.
Blair: Would you like me to pray for you?
Hitchens: I'd rather be left in peace.
