Few spouses of a British prime minister have kept two full careers running as visibly as Cherie Blair. More than two decades after leaving Downing Street, she still practises as a King’s Counsel, chairs the international law firm she founded, and runs a charity that reports supporting 300,000 women since 2008 (Cherie Blair Foundation for Women). This profile separates what is verified from what stays private — her current legal work, her family, and the numbers behind her wealth.
