“We’re all in this together,” says the Tory party chairman who boasted his riches were so large it afforded him the luxury of having a private plane, a six-bedroom mansion and a car decked out with “every refinement you could imagine”.

“Why, it even has a fridge,” Grant Shapps bragged in a sales letter he wrote in 2004.

These were the kind of examples of his luxurious lifestyle Mr Shapps tried to entice ‘customers’ to pay $197 (£130) for his “toolkit” of secrets to making a fortune.

He then claimed the true value of his “secret” was $100,000.

This was all before he became the Conservative MP for Welwyn Hatfield in 2005.

He ran a web-marketing business selling self-help guides such as “Stinking Rich 3”, claiming his advice would make his customers a “ton of cash”.

In the latest revelations of his products, unveiled by the website Political Scrapbook at the weekend, Mr Shapps sold the “How To Become Stinking RICH Online” self-help guide for $197 – selling it in US dollars to broaden his market.

It would make the buyer “11 to 22 times more successful than the crowd”, he claimed.

This would entitle buyers to a similar lifestyle to himself. So what was it like to be the ‘stinking rich’ chairman of the Conservative party?

For a start, he was able to buy a car “complete with in-car DVD, SatNav and just about every other refinement you could imagine in a vehicle. Why it even has a fridge!”

He boasted: “Since owning an online business has enabled me to live in a $2m home… to drive 3 high-end luxury cars and to own and operate my own aircraft, I suppose a toolkit that exposes every secret used to build that kind of wealth should rightfully sell for say $100,000.”
