Revolut’s chief executive and founder Nik Storonsky could be in line for a multibillion-dollar fortune after he reportedly negotiated an Elon Musk-style deal that hinges on him pushing the fintech company’s valuation past $150bn (€130bn).

The former Lehman Brothers trader, who established Revolut in 2015, is said to have secured a lucrative deal that hinges on the company nearly tripling in value, having last been estimated at $45bn (€39bn).
