Tony Blair Heading To LVMH?

This is an odd pairing.

Former Prime Minister Tony Blair is in final negotiations to join LVMH.

Fortunately, he wouldn't be designing. Rather he would be advising the company and close friend Bernard Arnault.

According to a source close to the luxury brand "There is an agreement in principle but nothing has been signed yet. Mr Blair won’t be joining the board but he will be acting in an advisory role, working very closely with Mr Arnault. In particular, his job is likely to involve attracting new clients."

If Tony does take the job, he'll be starting later this year.

We're still confused on what he would be advising. Then again, we've heard of stranger things.
