She also had an all-expenses paid trip to Israel worth £27,800.
It has been revealed that Suella Braverman was paid nearly £60,000 for giving speeches around the world, the highest of any current MP.
In May 2024, the former Home Secretary received £25,000 to speak in South Korea.
She received £20,000 for another speech in India in March.
Ms Braverman also declared that she received £14,000 for opinion articles in The Telegraph.
She also had an all-expenses paid trip to Israel worth £27,800. This was paid for by the National Jewish Assembly.
In July 2024, Suella Braverman declared she received £11,800 for a five-hour talk to a financial intelligence and risk control firm in London, and she also made a speech in Washington during which she was paid £6,500 in expenses for the trip by the Edmund Burke Foundation.
Ms Braverman was considered a frontrunner to become the next Conservative Party leader.
She withdrew because she “cannot say what people want to hear”.
Ms Braverman would have been the only Tory leadership hopeful who had registered income from making speeches during the year.
Kemi Badenoch, James Cleverly and Robert Jenrick had senior government jobs that stopped them from taking outside work.
While her income from speeches is the highest for any MP in the current register, it pales in comparison to the vast sums racked up by Liz Truss and Boris Johnson, who are no longer in parliament.
Ms Truss made £250,000 the year after she was ousted from 10 Downing Street, including £80,000 for one speech in Taipei, Taiwan.
In 2023, Boris Johnson declared an income of £4.8 million within the first six months of leaving No 10, including an advance payment of £2.5 million for an unspecified number of speeches.
Rishi Sunak, who remains an MP but stood down as Prime Minister last month, has not registered any speaking engagements for the year.
In the same register of interests, Nigel Farage appears to have become the highest-earning MP.
The Reform UK leader declared that he was being paid £97,900 a month as a presenter for GB News.
In addition to his work with GB News, Farage received £16,597.22 from the video app Cameo and £4,000 for writing articles for The Telegraph.
Previously, the highest-earning MP was Geoffrey Cox, a Tory who also works as a barrister.
He was paid £293,400 by the law firm Withers and also collected a payment of £379,000 from an Indian chamber in July for work carried out from 2016 to 2018.
