David Cameron charges £12,000 for dinner and a selfie in Shanghai as former PM starts new role leading investment initiative between Britain and China
Ex-Tory boss due to meet China's President Xi Jinping but ahead of that is appearing at event for wealthy business figures
DAVID Cameron is charging £12,000 for dinner and a selfie in Shanghai, according to an advert on social media.
It comes as the former Prime Minister gears up to start a new role leading a Government-backed investment initiative between Britain and China.
The ex-Tory boss is due to meet China's President Xi Jinping - but ahead of that is appearing at an event for wealthy business figures.
A flyer for the Shanghai International Ball and Leaders' Forum featured Mr Cameron accompanied by a price in Chinese renminbi.
It said the price of eating with the man who ruled in Number 10 from 2010 to 2016 and grabbing a selfie with him was around £12,000.
Last month Mr Cameron was handed a role in charge of a £750million fund to improve ports, roads and rail networks between China and its trading partners.
