Stephen's fortune grows £2million

Stephen Merchant’s wealth grew almost £2million last year.

Newly filed documents show his company’s assets grew from £25.1million to £27million over the course of 2023.

The Companies House papers show £17million of that is in investments, with the rest in cash and the difference between what the firm is owed, and what it owes to creditors.

During the period covered by the accounts, his hit crime comedy The Outlaws was renewed for a third season, which aired on BBC One and Amazon Prime Video earlier this year.

He has more recently returned to his stand-up roots, popping up at comedy clubs to road-test material for a possible future tour.

Meanwhile, The Office, which he co-created with Ricky Gervais launches its Australian version next month, with Felicity Ward in the lead role. Watch a trailer here.
