THE Tories have pocketed more than £300,000 from a "Wolf of Wall Street" millionaire whose business empire includes a medical cannabis firm.

Donations have poured in from Bassim Haidar, 52, who revels in a luxury lifestyle and meeting the likes of movie icons Tom Cruise and Sylvester Stallone, Black Eyed Peas rapper will.i.am and PM Rishi Sunak.

In other social media pictures, he is behind the wheel of a red Ferrari and posing at sea with a big fish. A video showed his birthday celebrations on a private jet, and one of his superyachts with its own beauty salon featured in a Channel 5 show.

He bought Mohamed Al-Fayed's yacht where Princess Diana was pictured days before her tragic death in August 1997.
