Nick Clegg could gain up to £30m from Nscale flotation
Former UK deputy prime minister Nick Clegg could gain up to £30m from the planned Wall Street flotation of Nscale, a UK-based artificial intelligence company.
Clegg joined Nscale’s board seven months ago, according to the article.
The possible gain would add to an estimated £100m from his time at Meta, where he worked with chief executive Mark Zuckerberg.
Clegg was Meta’s president of global affairs until last year, after joining the company in 2018.
His move to Meta followed a political career that included leading the Liberal Democrats and serving in the coalition government formed after Britain’s 2010 election.
The news comes as his wife, Miriam Gonzalez Durantez, launched a political party in Spain at an event in Madrid.
The Nscale flotation is described as imminent, but the article gives no date or details of what will happen to Clegg’s stake.

I actually find the messianic California new-world-touchy-feely culture a little grating
Nor am I sure that companies such as Facebook really pay all the tax they could.
