Dragons' Den 's youngest ever star Steven Bartlett become a multi-millionaire in his 20s.
Now at 28, Steven has made history as the youngest ever Dragon's Den star.
Rewriting his path, the entrepreneur dropped out of Manchester Metropolitan University at 18 after one lecture to chase his business dreams.
From his bedroom in Manchester, the podcast star founded the company The Social Chain with two university friends which now has an estimated worth of £300million.
Moving on, Steven left the business in December last year to chase other projects including setting up private equity investment company Catena Capital.
His first book Happy Sexy Millionaire: Unexpected Truths about Fulfilment, Love and Success was a Sunday Times bestseller.
It promotes his positive, happy-go-lucky attitude towards life which has inevitably made him a great success.
As well as writing a book, Steven has made waves with his The Diary of a CEO podcast.
His sky-rocketing success has been celebrated with a spot on the Forbes list of 30 under 30.
At 26, the businessman achieved a huge feat when his net worth was marked at $96 million, according to Forbes.
Already he has an impressive following of 1.2million fans on Instagram.
On Twitter, he has a following of 104k.
No doubt it will draw in a younger audience to the show.
Steven has begun to branch out into the TV world as he landed a role on the hit show Dragons' Den to replace Tej Lavani.
He will join the Dragons Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman and Sara Davies.
The TV show made an impression on the businessman when he was only 12 years old.
He said: “I’ve been watching Dragons’ Den since I was 12 years old - it was my first window into the real world of business and investing.
"It’s a tremendous honour to join the Den, hopefully representing a new generation of entrepreneurs, inspiring young and specifically under-represented entrepreneurs to follow in my footsteps.”
Sarah Clay, the BBC’s Commissioning Editor of Entertainment said: “As well as being our youngest ever Dragon, Steven’s unique approach to business will bring a whole new dynamic to the Den.
"He brings a wealth of experience from the social media, technological and brand building worlds. I’m so excited to see him in the next series.”
