Vilified for his gaffes and decision to go to war in Iraq, George W Bush is still a hero in his home state of Texas. After leaving office he went on the public speaking circuit and wrote his memoirs - and has also lashed out at Donald Trump’s run for President. (Pic: Getty)

After resigning as UK Prime Minister, Maggie Thatcher wrote two volumes of memoirs, and was hired by tobacco company Philip Morris as a “geopolitical consultant” for around £200,000-a-year. She also earned around £40,000 for a single speech. Nice work if you can get it. (Pic: Rex)
