Back in October 2016 - not long after he left office - David Cameron set up a wholly owned company called The Office of David Cameron Limited. 
And for a while it generated large but not exceptional profits for an ex-PM: its accounts for the year ending 30 April 2019 showed its 'shareholders equity' had grown from £100 to £874,000.
Then, in April 2020, Cameron caused his company to change from a (normal) limited to an unlimited company. Unlimited companies are extremely unusual creatures - but they do have this feature - they don't have to publish their accounts.
I wonder why the switcheroo? Hard not to wonder whether it was connected with Cameron's share options in a then contemplated $6bn IPO of Greensill from which Cameron reported told friends he stood to make £60m. afr.com/street-talk/so…
If the options were granted to the company the switch from limited to unlimited company would mean we would never know how much he made... (thanks to @FollowingFX for the tip.)
