James Dyson: British inventor, industrial designer and farmerJames Dyson’s journey began in 1978 when he wanted to improve his family’s vacuum cleaner. He invented a version that used cyclonic technology to lift dirt. Despite not having an engineering degree. He went to art school in London. It took him five years and more than 5,100 prototypes to develop the ‘G-Force’ cleaner, which was launched in 1983. Over time, Dyson diversified his product portfolio into hand dryers, hairdryers and air purifiers, but not all of his ideas were successful. In 2019, Dyson stopped plans for an electric car, because of a lack of commercial viability. Nevertheless, in 2023, the company had revenues of £7.1 billion and more than 14,000 employees in over 80 countries. That manifests his estimated net worth of over US$14 billion.
