What is John Major’s Net Worth?

John Major is a British past politician who has a net worth of $50 million. Major was Chancellor of the Exchequer in the third Thatcher administration before taking office as prime minister.

Early Life

The son of Gwen Major (née Coates, 1905-1970) and the former music hall star Tom Major-Ball (1879-1962), who was 63 at the time of Major’s birth, in St. Helier, Surrey, on March 29, 1943, at St. Helier Hospital and Queen Mary’s Hospital for Children.

From 1948, John attended Cheam Common School for primary education. His early years were largely joyful, and he delighted in reading, playing sports (particularly cricket and football), and taking care of animals like his rabbits.

John was able to enroll in Wimbledon’s Rutlish School in 1954 after passing the 11+ exam, much to his dismay. However, his father demanded that John registers as “John Major-Ball,” much to John’s anger.

In 1959, Major began working as a clerk for the London-based insurance brokerage firm Price Forbes; however, he soon left because he found the position to be boring and unpromising.

Career

From 1990 to 1997, “Sir” John Major headed both the Conservative Party and the government of the United Kingdom. He served as the Foreign Secretary and Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Thatcher administration, and from 1979 to 2001, he represented Huntingdon in the House of Commons.

Major went on to lead the Conservatives to a fourth straight election victory. In the 1992 general election, he received more than 14 million votes, setting a record for the most votes ever cast in a British election. However, the Conservatives’ majority in the House of Commons was significantly reduced.

To this day, Major is the only current leader of the party to secure an outright victory in a general election. Following his resignation from Parliament in 2001, Sir John received the Companion of Honor from the Queen in 1999.

HM Queen Elizabeth II bestowed the title of Knight Companion of the Noblest Order of the Garter upon Sir John on St. George’s Day in 2005. After the 2010 election, Major declared his support for the Cameron-Clegg coalition and expressed his desire for a “liberal-conservative” collaboration beyond 2015.

He criticized Ed Miliband’s Labour Party for prioritizing “party games” over the needs of the country.

However, Major highlighted his concern about what he perceived to be a reduction in social mobility in Britain in 2013: “In every single sector of British influence, the upper echelons of power in 2013 are held primarily by the privately educated or the affluent middle class.

That is genuinely shocking to me given my upbringing. In a court lawsuit brought by Gina Miller challenging the proroguing of Parliament by the prime minister, Boris Johnson, it was revealed on August 30th, 2019, that Major intended to participate.

In the general election of 2019, Major urged voters to strategically vote against candidates who backed Boris Johnson if they desired a hard Brexit. The worst foreign policy choice I have ever made, according to Major, is Brexit. It will have an impact on almost every part of our life for many years to come.

It will weaken and make our nation poorer. Those with the least will be the most affected. After the UK officially left the EU with a first agreement in place at the beginning of 2020, Major voiced his reservations about the “flimsiness” of a potential future trade agreement with the EU.
In a lecture given in February 2022 at the Institute for a Government think tank in London, Major criticized Boris Johnson over the Partygate affair and suggested that he should step down. He also criticized the proposed policy for individuals seeking asylum, which he labeled “un-British.”

Major demanded Boris Johnson’s quick replacement and removal “for the overall wellbeing of the country” in July 2022, just after Johnson said he would step down as prime minister but remain in office until a replacement was found.

Personal Life

At St Matthew’s Church in Brixton, Major wed Norma Johnson (later Dame Norma Major) on October 3, 1970. She was a teacher and a Young Conservatives member. After barely ten days of dating, they were engaged.

They had first met on the day of the Greater London Council elections in London. Elizabeth, a girl, was born in November 1971, and James, a son, was born to them (born January 1975).
