Dragons' Den will return for 2024 this evening (January 4) and our multi-millionaire Dragons are set to splash the cash after some impressive pitches.

For series 21 of Dragons' Den, football icon Gary Neville and fashion mogul Emma Grede Den will star as the first ever Guest Dragons on the BBC One primetime show.

Since Steven Bartlett joined in series 19, many viewers have found themselves asking what the Social Chain entrepreneur is worth and where he ranks among the other Dragons. 

Here's what the country's most ferocious business minds are worth and how they earned their millions.
