James Dyson

Sir James Dyson is a famous British inventor who invented the Dual Cyclone bagless vacuum cleaner. Dyson's invention helped revolutionize vacuum cleaners along with other home appliances around the world.

At first, the young inventor tried to bring his product to garden stores, but no one was interested. So he set up a company to take orders and sell directly to customers. In this way, he sold 45,000 products a year. Years later, he founded the technology company Dyson, which employs 4,000 people worldwide, making home appliances and selling them in 70 countries.

Currently, James Dyson is chairman and sole shareholder of the company, Mr. Dyson is worth £7.8 billion ($10.05 billion). As of 2015, Dyson made 58 products, generating $2.4 billion in revenue and an estimated $340 million in net profit, even after reinvesting 46% in R&D. Inventor James Dyson - who has been dubbed the modern-day Thomas Edison, has surpassed two other billionaires to take the first place in the ranking of the richest people in Britain in 2018.
