The Chinese businessman, who has mixed with figures from across the British establishment, was a founding member of the Duke’s venture Pitch@Palace China.
The Duke is understood to have benefited financially from the scheme thanks to a clause that allowed him to take a 2 per cent cut of investment deals.
The revelation puts pressure on the Duke to reveal how much he earned from the Dragons’ Den-style partnership and whether any other money changed hands.
Earlier this year it emerged that he now privately funds his home and security, but the source of the funding is not known.
He’d need to have brokered some monster deals at that 2% to produce the cash necessary for that lifestyle. £ billion and upwards sort of level. I think it unlikely….
He’s underselling himself. Joe B takes 10% or more apparently.
What was a certain former PM’s cut alleged to have been had he been more successful in pushing Greensill both to his own and other governments?
Did Andrew stop paying his dues to the Satanic temple or something?
I think Randy is just being used as a distraction. Not sure what a Chinese spy would have to gain from associating with him. Certainly not financial benefits, but possibly some interesting adventures. Then again, he could also have interesting adventures with TTK and a Lord. Possibly. Unfounded rumour of course…
