Euan Blair, the illustrious son of the UK’s ex-prime minister Tony Blair, has been making headlines fast for the success of his edtech platform Multiverse – which in just a few months has put billions in his bank. Keep in mind, Euan first made headlines in 2000 at age 16 when he had to publicly apologise after he was arrested for being “drunk and incapable” in London’s West End. Now hailed by many as a millennial genius, Tony’s oldest son has set his eyes on helping young people achieve their career goals without degrees or university education. But how did the 38-year-old do it? Here’s how Euan Blair used his connections, opportunities and experience to bring his ideas into life, make a billion dollars – and potentially change the job prospects of a generation without going into politics like his father. A studious background Billionaire business owners and CEOs often seem to have one thing in common – they are dropouts from schools that didn’t recognise their brilliance. But Euan Blair comes from a different flock. He has a bright educational background, graduating from the University of Bristol, where he studied ancient history, before completing his master’s degree in international relations at Yale. Who is the richest woman in the world right now? (No, it’s not Kim K) After his university years, he worked as an intern in the US Congress before heading to Morgan Stanley’s graduate programme in 2008. Blair told The Guardian that he didn’t quite enjoy studying while growing up, but going to university and getting a proper education was seen as the only option for landing a great job. He co-founded his current business platform Multiverse in 2016.

Suzanne studied politics, philosophy and economics at Oxford, and became such a prominent European financier that she earned a spot on Forbes ’ “30 Under 30” list in 2017.

A million-dollar project Blair junior might have been born into riches, but his current billion-dollar fame came from the creation of Multiverse, a tech education start-up that matches youngsters with apprenticeships at top-notch companies like Google and Bloomberg. Blair came up with the idea after he realised that his own ancient history degree from Bristol “taught him nothing”, as he told the Evening Standard . But Multiverse didn’t come to life until he met Sophie Adelman at Morgan Stanley and together they set up the company originally named White Hat. The platform is a direct contradiction to what his father promised the nation, famously naming his three first-term priorities as “education, education, education” in 1999. Blair’s goal was to get 50 per cent of young adults into university, a target that was achieved in 2019, 12 years after he stood down as PM. Multiverse is oriented in the opposite direction to help those without degrees or educational backgrounds get apprenticeships at elite companies. Since its creation, it claims to have matched more than 5,000 apprentices with top employers. Blair has even claimed that numerous young people turned down places at Oxford to join the Multiverse.

The article states that the awards have been made early this year to coincide with Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee . “It’s a real honour to receive this recognition, but it’s on behalf of an organisation full of people who are working tirelessly to build a truly outstanding alternative to university,” he said at the time. Hitting the billionaire list Founded in 2016, Blair’s Multiverse had a strong start and has kept going strong, racking in a staggering US$1.6 billion over the last eight months, doubling its previous evaluation of US$850 million.

The increasing lockdowns, restrictions, and massive resignations prompted workers to take on new careers and learn new skills without a university course or degree, and since Multiverse provided that exchange, the population took to the platform to reform their lives.
