Euna Blair's 'Multiverse' reports near-tripling of losses.

Euan Blair's apprenticeship firm 'Multiverse' sounds like the South Sea Bubble of 1720. It's a good example of what can happen when people succumb to group think and speculative bubbles and Ponzi schemes. 

Despite the company failing to return a profit for the last seven years, it was awarded the coveted tech "unicorn" status when it was valued at £1.4bn fundraising round driven by U.S. venture capital firms in June 2022. That put Blair's stake in the company at £420m.

Blair recently bought a seven-bedroom house in London for £22m. He was able to make the purchase after venture capitalist investors, allowed him to sell £320m-worth of shares to buy a home. 

Some people might wonder why a company that hasn't returned a profit in the last seven years is valued so high? How did Tony Blair's son manage to get the backing of some of the wealthiest people in America, like the Walton family? It has surely got something to do with his influential father and the prospects of expansion in U.S. markets.
