David Tennant’s move from Time Lord to landlord appears to have served him well as his net worth has reached more than £6million thanks to his lucrative property investments.
The latest accounts from the Doctor Who star’s firm Sandyboy Limited show it currently has assets worth £3,795,982 which includes a £3 million property investment portfolio.
But his financial success comes after he was branded a misogynist and a bigot for saying he wished the former minister for women and equality, Kemi Badenoch, did not exist at an awards ceremony.
Thought to be named after his late father, Sandy McDonald, his company was set up in 2005 when he was cast in Doctor Who.
It now owes creditors just over £1.5 million, leaving it with a value of £2,292,897.
No Mystery Limited is the 53-year-old’s second firm and according to Company’s House has £3,791,920 in the bank after paying off creditors – a rise of more than £500,000 on the previous year’s figure.
Tennant currently lives in a £2.6million house in West London’s affluent Chiswick area with his 39-year-old wife and Doctor Who co-star, Georgia, and their five children.
In 2019, he won a planning permission row and was allowed to build a 16-metre swimming pool which included a changing room, an outhouse and a gym.
Last month the Des star received backlash, led by Badenoch, for the controversial comments he made about her while accepting an award for being a ‘celebrity ally’ at the British LGBT Awards.
He said: ‘Until we wake up and Kemi Badenoch doesn’t exist any more…’ He paused as the audience cheered and applauded then added: ‘I don’t wish ill of her, I just wish her to shut up.’
Badenoch, who has led the Government’s drive to protect women’s rights and stop teenagers being given puberty-blocking drugs, hit back on social media: ‘I will not shut up.
‘I will not be silenced by men who prioritise applause from Stonewall over the safety of women and girls.
‘A rich, Lefty, white male celebrity so blinded by ideology he can’t see the optics of attacking the only black woman in government by calling publicly for my existence to end.’
Keir Starmer then distanced himself from the Scottish actor, who is a staunch Labour supporter, after his comments and said he, ‘wouldn’t have engaged’ in the discussion in the same way.
The Prime Minister said: ‘In politics, as in life, it’s important that we are able to robustly disagree with others.
‘But we should do it with respect for everybody involved in that robust discussion. I think it’s right that we have these robust discussions, but we must do it respectfully.’
