DAVID Cameron has raked in 1.6m since quitting as PM – and Theresa May has trousered 400k.

Earning 150,000 a year as prime minister, he has now enjoyed his very own Brexit bonus since walking out on the dream job.

Official accounts revealed the company set up by the former Tory leader made a profit of 836,168 last year.

This is on top of Mr Cameron‘s 790,274 profit from the previous year.

The huge amount is only for the year to last April, and does not include income from his memoir For The Record, which came out in September.

Mr Cameron infamously wrote the memoir in a 25,000 cabin at his Oxfordshire home in 2017.

The incredible accounts also reveal The Office of David Cameron Limited boasts total assets of 873,821.

It includes an investment property bought during the companys financial year, which is valued at 128,190.

On top of all the assets, Mr Camerons company are also sitting on a massive 538,075 in cash reserves.

Mr Cameron is not a director of the business, but he is listed as the owner.

Theresa May has also been enjoying life outside the top job, earning almost 400,000 since being forced to quit.

Resigning on July 24 last year, Mrs May softened the blow by nabbing a 190,000 signing bonus with the Washington Speakers Bureau.

She also nabbed 100,000 plus expenses from financial services company UBS Switzerland AG, as well as 75,500 for a speech with bank JP Morgan Chase.

The happy exits were revealed on the same day Mr Cameron backed the UK to make a success of Brexit as he hailed the ‘very big day’ for Britain.

He told Sky News: “It is obviously a very big day for our country. Obviously I led the campaign to stay in but I always accepted the referendum result and knew this day would come.

“As I said at the time of the referendum we are one of the biggest economies in the world, perhaps the sixth biggest economy in the world.

“We can make a success of the choice that we make and I am sure that is exactly what we will do and I wish the government well in all their endeavours to make sure that happens.”

It was also revealed Boris Johnson pocketed 320,000 from after dinner speeches, Telegraph columns and donations in his final months before becoming Prime Minister.
