After that epic flop, Jones was broke. He had to move back in with his parents. But then came a lightbulb moment with mobile phones in the 1990s.
He launched a company called Phones International Group. It became a monster hit. Within a few years, he was a multi-millionaire. The potty failure was just a funny story for dinner parties now.
He didn’t stop there. Jones is a deal-making machine. He’s invested in over 70 businesses through Dragon’s Den. Some wins? Yes. Some spectacular fails? Also yes. But the wins are huge.
Quirky Bets That Paid Off Big
Let’s talk about his quirkiest win. Remember the Magic Light Pictures? That’s the company behind The Gruffalo and Room on the Broom. Jones got in early.
Those animated creatures made him a fortune. He even bought a giant Gruffalo statue for his garden. I’m not joking. The man has a monster in his backyard.
Another crazy win? Regus—but not the office space Regus. He invested in Pixi’s (a beauty brand) and a company that makes luxury dog beds. Yes, dogs sleep better than most humans thanks to Peter Jones.
