The pair, along with a host of other speakers, will be appearing at the War on Want event today at the Friends House, Euston Road, dubbed "And Still We Rise".
The "sold out" ticketed gathering has the strap line: "From climate breakdown to soaring inequality, we are living in an age of crisis. The only answer is justice."
Climate change poster girl Greta Thunberg, 21, had also been due to speak, but organisers announced on their social media account on Thursday that she would no longer be attending.
But despite the forum discussing economic injustice, the incredible estimated net worth of two of its most prized speakers has now been laid bare.
Long-serving MP Jeremy Corbyn, who has been representing North Islington since 1983, has had his own net worth estimated at around £3million, according to Spears Magazine, and his considerable salary from Parliament would start at a basic £86,584 a year.
However, during his time as Leader of the Opposition Mr Corbyn was reportedly earning £143,000 a year.
Unionist tub-thumper Mick Lynch, secretary-general of the RMT, earned around £120,000 a year in 2022, according to the Daily Mail, with the paper also saying he lived in a £1m home.

I’d argue Mick Lynch is fantastic value at that cost for what he does. I don’t know of anyone who’s a better “underdog” spokesperson. Never seen him get flustered, lose his cool or mince his words. He’d always spectacularly reasoned, calm and on form.
When assessing net worth 1 in 20 Londoners is a millionaire iirc.
Top 5% is not elites, it’s high performing professionals: doctors, engineers etc.
A long serving politician doesn’t strike me as the kind of person who would find themselves in the lower 50% or some such.
Just because they are calling for economic justice does that mean they should decline their salaries and live in a bin?
What a pointless article. Just another example of a Express hit piece like they’ve been running againstg Corbyn for years.
Also, OP is a Trumper.
So they each have an upper-middle class management wage and houses in London? Oh no. How dare they. It’s almost like housing prices are silly and they’re getting paid less then they would on the “other side”.
What a piece of shit article and absolute shitrag this is.
Ooh! 143k living in London and helping labour unions, risking your arse every day to support workers?
The Express and others are a cancer on society. Why is their hyperbolic, inflammatory division-fuelled bile even allowed to be published?
Oh, yes. It keeps the plebs under control and makes the rich, richer.
