Because of his participation on the Dragons’ Den panel, Steven Bartlett is a name that is likely to be much more famous to you now. He has already impressed the entire country since he joined the panel.
Before becoming a cast member on the BBC One show that he had grown up watching in 2022, the multi-millionaire developed his enterprise in relative obscurity away from the public eye.
As the long-running programme returns for its 20th series, he and the other dragons will be looking for further prospective investments along with the rest of their fellow panellists.
The question is, who exactly is he, and what exactly does he do for a living?
Everything you need to know about Steven …
Who is Steven Bartlett?
The Social Chain is a social media marketing agency, and Steven is the company’s creator as well as a former CEO.
When he was barely 22 years old, he launched the agency from the bedroom of his apartment in Manchester.
At the age of 27, Steven’s agency went public, and by the time May 2021 rolled around, it had a market value of more than £300 million.
Although he is still the company’s founder, Steven resigned from his position as CEO of Social Chain in December 2020 so that he might seek other opportunities.
He went on to establish Catena Capital, a private equity investment business, as well as co-found Third Web, an app builder, and Flight Story, an investing platform. In addition, he has been involved in the development of an app builder.
He’s now 30 years old.

In addition to his expertise in the business world, Steven is the author of the book “Happy Sexy Millionaire: Unexpected Truths about Fulfillment, Love, and Success,” which was a bestseller in the Sunday Times.
Given his history, it should come as no surprise that Steven enjoys a sizable following on various social media platforms.
His Instagram account, which goes by the handle @steven, has a following of more than 1.9 million people.
His podcast, in which he conducts conversations with other business leaders and CEOs, may be viewed as a recording on his YouTube channel, which has 226 thousand followers and is called The Diary Of A CEO.
It was his podcast that came under the spotlight after Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague made statements on the show that prompted a massive outcry last year.
Molly came under fire for her comments, which many people deemed to be privileged, after she stated on the show that “everyone has the same 24 hours in the day” and that she is willing to go to “any lengths” to attain success.
However, Steven later came to her defence over the comments, saying on Twitter: ‘Molly Mae did an interview on my podcast, yesterday a soundbite from that interview went viral, she trended No.1 on Twitter, every newspaper covered it and MP’s weighed in.
‘I’ve had male guests say what she said. No one cared. But when Molly says it, she’s crucified? Crazy.’
When he appeared on the show “The Diary of a CEO” in February 2022, Matt Hancock, who had previously served as Secretary of Health, made a sensation.
Steven promised a no-holds-barred interview in which he would address the scandal that led to Hancock’s departure last summer, and he certainly delivered on that promise. The interview addressed the scandal that led to Hancock’s resignation.
What is Steven Bartlett’s net worth?
Although Social Chain was estimated to be worth £300 million in the year 2021, Steven has a different personal net worth.
The businessman’s net worth was assessed by Forbes magazine to be $96 million (or £68 million) when he was only 26 years old.
There are no known specifics on his current net worth.
In addition to that, he was selected for Forbes’ list of 30 Under 30 and has been honoured with honours at a number of major competitions, such as the Black British Business Awards and the Great British Entrepreneur Awards.
