Danny Dyer's private company, Arty Bucco, has accumulated a substantial £1.64 million in cash, according to newly filed accounts. The business's worth has increased by £384,544 over the past year, bringing its total value to £1.76 million.
The company's cash reserves alone rose by over £747,000 in the year leading up to January 31, 2026, up from £896,857. After accounting for bills due within a year, the business was valued at £1,761,779, a significant increase from £1,377,235 in the previous year.

Dyer, who established the company in January 2015 with his wife Joanne Mas, has experienced a successful period following his departure from the long-running soap opera EastEnders. His role in the Jilly Cooper adaptation 'Rivals' and his first BAFTA win have contributed to his recent success.
He played Mick Carter in EastEnders for nine years before exiting the show on Christmas Day in 2022. During his time on the BBC series, his salary was reported to be between £200,000 and £249,999, making him one of the show's highest earners.
In 'Rivals', Dyer portrays Freddie Jones, a self-made electronics millionaire. His character's storyline also includes a romance with Lizzie Vereker, played by Katherine Parkinson.
Beyond television, Dyer secured his first BAFTA in May 2025 for his performance in the Sky comedy series 'Mr Bigstuff,' where he played Lee Campbell. The series, written by and co-starring Ryan Sampson, earned Dyer the award for male performance in a comedy.
Since leaving EastEnders, Dyer has remained active on screen, appearing in the Channel 5 thriller 'Heat' and the BBC comedy 'Henpocalypse!'. Both 'Rivals' and 'Mr Bigstuff' have been renewed for second series.
His film work includes the 2025 football hooligan comedy 'Marching Powder' and the festive films 'Christmas Karma' and 'Tinsel Town.' He also co-hosted the ITV game show 'Nobody’s Fool' with Emily Atack.
Dyer has also ventured into reality television with his daughter Dani in 'The Dyers’ Caravan Park,' which documented their investment in a holiday park. The show became Sky's highest-rated entertainment launch in five years and has been commissioned for a second series and a Christmas special.
His career began over three decades ago, with an early role in 'Prime Suspect 3' in 1993. Dyer has spoken about his upbringing on an east London council estate, noting that his children find it difficult to comprehend his past before fame. He expressed pride in his roots and the work ethic instilled by his upbringing, suggesting it fueled his determination and ambition.
