On a snowy morning in the middle of February, Tony Blair, looking trim from his four- to five-times-a-week workout regime, is sipping coffee in his office in London's Mayfair district.
He's sitting in a Georgian town house that was in the late 18th century the site of the first US embassy to the Court of St James's. Now, almost six years after he resigned as British prime minister, it serves as the epicenter of a new Blair empire, Bloomberg Markets magazine will report in its May issue.
"If you become prime minister and step down in your early 50s," Blair says, "what are you going to do? Play golf? It fills me with total dread."
Blair, 59, has reinvented himself as a dealmaker, globe- trotting adviser and philanthropist. He presides over a network of companies and charities that operate in more than 20 countries, with financing from a tangle of private, corporate and government sources.
