Although Martin keeps his life very private, we do know he is not the only famous face in his family. He is married to Lara Lewington who is a television presenter on the BBC's technology programme, Click.
Previously she was the Channel 5 news weather presenter from 2003 to 2009. The couple married almost 14 years ago on May 31, 2009 and share a daughter, Sapphire.
Last week, Lara unveiled a new radio documentary on Radio 4 and BBC Sounds, that explores artificial intelligence called A Documentary: By ChatGPT.
Martin Lewis' net worth
Martin established his successful website Money Saving Expert in 2003, after acquiring it for just £100. Almost 10 years later, he sold it to MoneySupermarket, in a move which earned him a whopping £87m.
Today, the financial guru is believed to be worth £123 million as reported by The Sunday Times Rich List in 2021.
Childhood, education and career
Martin grew up in Norley, Cheshire, around 30 miles away from Liverpool. His mum, Susan Lewis, died in a horse riding accident when Martin was just 11 years old.
