Vikram Vij Net Worth
Indian Canadian Vikram Vij is a popular chef, author, and television celebrity. He’s also one of the new investors in Dragon’s Den since 2014. This show might help him to increase his already considerable wealth. As of 2015, Vij has a net worth of incredible $51 million. Let’s take a look on how he acquired such a fortune.
Vikram was born 1964 in Amritsar, India. He studied Hotel Management in Austria. He eventually became a chef and in 1989 relocated to Canada. At first, he worked in a prestigious restaurant owned by legenadary John Bishop. In 1994, he finally started his own restaurant called Vij’s.
That was a year of many changes for Vikram. Not only he opened his first business, but he also got married to Dhalwala. He and his wife expanded the business, opening a second restaurant and a market. In 2006, they co-authored their first book named Elegant and Inspired Indian Cuisine. Their net worth was soaring.
As a successful entrepreneur, Vij has plenty of money that he wants to invest and also a lot of experience that he can share with other aspiring entrepreneurs. When offered a seat as one of “dragon investors” in reality television show Dragon’s Den, Vij accepted. In 2015, he and his wife both received honorary Doctorates by Simon Fraser University.
