Gary Neville will swap the Sky Sports studio for the Dragons’ Den studio next year.
The former Manchester United player, who has built up a successful business portfolio, will be a guest dragon for series 21, due to air in 2024, with the production taking place in the city.
Neville will join the regular dragons cast of Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman, Sara Davies and Steven Bartlett.
So, exactly what is Neville’s net worth and how did he make his fortune?
Here is everything you need to know.
What is Gary Neville’s net worth?
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Neville has an estimated net worth of around £19.6 million.
What are Gary Neville’s business interests?
Neville’s business interests span the worlds of property, hospitality, education, media and sport.
His property portfolio includes Hotel Football, which overlooks Old Trafford, along with The Stock Exchange Hotel situated close to Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester which he owns alongside ex team-mate Ryan Giggs.
Neville’s ‘Relentless Development’ investment company specialises in development in the Manchester area such as the £120 million St Michael’s project, a redevelopment initiative that plans to build hotels, workspace, housing and restaurants in the city centre.
Neville, who first became involved in property in his early 20s when he was still a player, also manages ‘Zerum’, a company involved with property and construction consultancy.
He is also one of the founding members of University UA92 in Manchester, which aims to support disadvantaged youngsters by ‘disrupting the traditional model’.
Neville also co-founded Buzz 16, the production firm behind the hit shows The Overlap, Soccerbox and Class of ’92 Full Time.
The Overlap YouTube show in particular has proved a massive hit, raking in £180,000 in profit last year.
But perhaps the most famous of all of his investments is his co-ownership of Salford City FC, who he bought a share in alongside former United stars Nicky Butt, Phil Neville, Paul Scholes and Giggs in 2014.
Since then, and amidst huge significant financial backing, the club have gone from the eighth tier of English football to League Two.
