Nigel Farage has accepted another £135,000 from a firm selling gold bullion, for working just four hours per week over a three month period. 

The latest register of interests published by the House of Parliament shows that the Reform UK leader continues to earn huge sums of money from second jobs outside his role as the MP for Clacton.

Farage, who acts as the companies “Brand Ambassador” is pocketing an eye-watering £11,250 per hour to push “tax-free gold”.

This isn’t the first time payment Farage has accepted from the Mayfair registered Gold merchants, Byline Times previously reported on two previous payments. £91,200 was paid to Farage in February 2025, which followed a a £189,300 payment from the same company in December 2024 – again for working a “maximum” of four hours per month, with some of the fee paying for some work “undertaken prior” to his election to Parliament. 

In total the Reform UK leader has declared payments totalling £415,500 from Direct Bullion, a Mayfair-registered firm, which claims to be “the UK’s No.1” Gold  bullion dealer. The firm also had a large stand in a very prominent position inside Reform UK’s recent party conference held in September and the Reform UK’s logo has been affixed to the firm’s website.

It comes on top of hundreds of thousands of pounds in payments for Farage’s role as GB News presenter, revenue sharing payments from Elon Musk’s X platform and earnings from his profile on the Cameo personalised video message platform.

The latest available accounts published on Companies House in October 2025 for DB London Ltd ,which trades under the name Direct Bullion shows the firm had just five employees as of 31 January 2025 and operates out of a shared office space in London, where over 100 other companies are also registered.

In June this year, DB London informed Companies House that the firm was now majority controlled by another company called Eleven Intl Ltd. 

The registered address of Eleven Intl Ltd is in Ilford,  and appears to be an accountancy company based above a supermarket. According to accounts filed in September 2025, Eleven Intl Ltd has no employees and only £96 cash in the bank as of 31 January 2025.

‘If Nigel Farage’s Racism Is Forgotten It Will Give Him Permission for Far Worse’

When someone tells you who they are, over and over again, it is wise to listen, argues Clive Lewis MP

In a recent interview with The Observer, Paul Withers the Co-founder of Bullion Direct said:

“I like Reform because I believe in what Nigel stands for. I worked bloody hard, and see a lot of what I worked hard for go to waste. The majority [of people are] seeing this – it’s nationwide, and when I look at the proper alternatives, there’s nothing there.”

Withers told the paper that Farage was “a real goldbug” and “bringing the customers to us,” claiming “It’s done better than I ever anticipated.”

Online customer reviews appear to support this claim, with some suggesting Farage’s endorsement of Bullion Direct was the reason for them investing in gold. However, some customer reviews appear to be duplications despite being posted under different names and on different dates. 

The Bullion Directory, which provides online reviews of Gold and Silver dealers in the UK currently lists Direct Bullion as the “top rated” seller in the country, however in some instances these reviews also appear to be duplicates. Two separate entries from April 2025 both use identical sentences to boast about their investments increasing by 50% in value and both repeat the same spelling mistakes.

Both Nigel Farage and Direct Bullion were approached for comment.
