David Dickinson has an estimated net worth of $3 million. He accrued this wealth through his work as an English antiques dealer and television presenter.
Born August 16, 1941, in Cheadle Heath, Cheshire, Dickinson began an apprenticeship at an aircraft factory when he was 14 but quickly left to work in the cloth trade in central Manchester.
Dickinson subsequently concentrated on selling antiques at prestigious fairs, taking stands at Olympia and other major antiques fairs three or four times a year, dealing in 18th and 19th-century furniture and works of art.
He rose to prominence as an antiques expert on This Morning and BBC Two’s The Antiques Show. His career break as a television celebrity came from presenting Bargain Hunt on BBC One at lunchtime.
Between 2000 and 2004, Dickinson hosted the BBC One antiques show Bargain Hunt, where he was succeeded by Tim Wonnacott.
Dickinson left the BBC in 2005, and since 2006 he has been hosting the ITV daytime show Dickinson’s Real Deal. The show sees members of the public bringing antiques and collectables to sell to a dealer or take to the auction.
In April 2003, he hosted his own daytime chat show series The David Dickinson Show and in 2017, he presented David Dickinson’s Name Your Price for ITV.
