Michelle Mone: How did UK politician make money?

After it was discovered that Michelle Mone was a beneficiary of a Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) company that the government worked with, she has become the subject of debate.

Mone's net worth is thought to be around £20 million. Mone and her three children got £29 million from a Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) company that the government had given significant contracts to at the height of the pandemic.

What are Michelle Mone's sources of income?

Mone dropped out of school at age 15 with no diploma. She desired to pursue a modelling career.


She began her career at Labatt Brewing Company in a marketing position, and two years later—despite confessing to fabricating credentials to gain the position—she was head of marketing for Scotland.

In 1999, Mone launched Ultimo at Selfridges. After wearing an uncomfortable bra to a dinner party, Mone had the concept for the brand's first product, the Ultimo bra, and she thought she could create a more comfortable substitute.



Mone also made forays into diet tablets. Beginning in 2006, MJM and Dutch naturopath Jan De Vries collaborated to create Trimsecrets.

In 2013, De Vries lost his ownership portion in the business, making Mone the sole remaining shareholder. Following Mone's departure from the organisation in 2013 due to the dissolution of her marriage, MJM International was shut down.

In 2014, Mone sold 80% of her Ultimo shares, citing that she had "Hung up her bra." Mone then went on to purchase all of the stock in the fictitious tanning business Utan.
