Fascinating article from The Telegraph
I always wondered why Duncan never seemed to be overly keen on investing on Dragons Den in recent times, and used to joke with the missus he was probably broke after his divorce settlement.
Well it seems it wasn't a joke! Apparently after shelling out £4m on a divorce, he was forced to live on credit cards, and currently lives on £2k a month. He confesses that it may mean he isn't asked to do another series of Dragons Den, and is amazingly honest about his business empire and slump in fortunes.
He does come over as a stereotypical tight jock on the telly, but after reading the telegraph article, I've got nothing but respect for him.
Just goes to show it's not all about fast cars, jets and obscene wealth. Most entrepreneurs have a very bumpy roller coaster journey, but consistent running ingredient seems to be determination when all the cards are stacked against them.
