Dragons’ Den: Peter Jones ‘had nothing’ and ‘slept on warehouse floor’: ‘It was a terrible time of my life’

He became emotional during the filming of BBC One series

Peter Jones is famous for being richer than most people could ever dream of, but there was once a time when the Dragons’ Den star was homeless.

Now famous for being a Dragon on the long-running TV series – he’s actually the only original one – TV viewers know him for being able to stump up thousands in cash to invest in fledging businesses.

And, unlike some of his other DD co-stars, Peter knows EXACTLY how it feels to be broke.

How rich is Dragons’ Den star Peter Jones?

Peter Jones is now known for his bespoke blue suits, his stripy socks, and his – at times – over-the-top arrogance in the Den. In series 21, he happily boasts about his close friendship with “lovely people” Cartier in a bid to impress two budding entrepreneurs.

He’s also famous for having his own yacht, enjoying luxury holidays (with former friend Holly Willoughby), and living a designer lifestyle.

He reportedly owns several luxury cars – including Ferraris, a Range Rover, Maybachs, and Bentleys. As ED! reported recently, Peter is by far the richest of the Dragons.
