New accounts filed at Companies House reveal the star was sitting on over £1.5million in assets before bills, holding £896,857 in ready cash, £153,000 in investments and £483,182 worth of monies due in.
Dyer's cash mountain is a staggering £712,221 up on the year before.
It tops off an incredible year for the star, who took home his first ever Bafta for Sky comedy Mr Bigstuff, as well as seeing massive success with Disney+ series, Rivals.
And it looks like it's only set to continue, with a new documentary series seeing him invest in a caravan park with daughter Dani for a new documentary series set to rival Clarkson's Farm.
A second season of Rivals – a 'bonkbuster' based on the novels of Jilly Cooper – is currently being filmed in Bristol, and the second season of Mr Bigstuff was released last week.
His success comes after he's made conscious moves to ditch his East End hard nut persona to show fans his softer side, causing a career u-turn, which has helped boost his bank balance.
He also has a podcast, Live and Let Dyer, with Dani and wife Jo, and a new entertainment series with Rivals co-star Emily Atack was confirmed two days ago.
Danny's riches include a £161,410 profit for 2025 - which works out at £3,104 per week, while his bills – reported at £155,804 – include £149,404 in taxation and social security.
The figures were signed off by the former EastEnders star yesterday and span the year ended 31 January 2025, with the firm only employing two members of staff – thought to be Danny and his wife, Joanne Mas.
Though their pay is not reported, the small print reveals that between them they owed the business £110,949 - £400,000 less than they did in 2024.

Dyer set up the business – whose activities are listed as 'motion picture, video and television production' back in 2015 alongside Joanne.
Since then it has seen a strong and steady increase, earning his first £500,000 in 2020 before passing the £1million mark three years later.
It's a major improvement on his former company Old Mother Media, which was set up in 2010 and went bust just three years later.
At the time, a statement of affairs signed off by Dyer reported £29,170 worth of debt – including £24,827 owned to HM Revenue and Customs.

EastEnders' Patrick terrified with anxiety as he's released from hospital
EastEnders icon traumatised following shocking attack in his own home. EastEnders legend Patrick Trueman is left visibly shaken and deeply traumatised this week as he returns home from hospital following a brutal and unexpected attack that has left him riddled with anxiety. Patrick, played by the legendary Rudolph Walker, is clearly traumatised after being attacked in his own home. The once-cheerful, confident cornerstone of Albert Square now struggles to feel safe in the place he's always called home. It all starts when Patrick and Howie place a risky bet behind Yolande's back. The gamble pays off, and they walk away with £6,000, but the victory is short-lived. Yolande is furious when she finds out and calls off their wedding, leaving the household tense. While the family drown their sorrows at The Vic, trouble is quietly brewing at home. Oscar, desperate and foolish, breaks into No.20 to steal the winnings. But when Patrick unexpectedly catches him in the act, Oscar panics. In a split-second decision that would change everything, he shoves Patrick, who falls and hits the ground hard, leaving him unconscious and alone. Oscar, attempting to flee, is stopped in his tracks when Howie returns home to a nightmare. Oscar hides until he decides to make a run for it. Howie spots a figure fleeing, but can't make out who it is. Moments later, Kim and Denise walk in and find Patrick lying motionless on the floor. Panic sets in fast. Yolande and the family then rush to the hospital, where they wait helplessly for news, riddled with guilt and fear. For Yolande, the sight of Patrick fighting for his life is devastating. Their argument over the bet seemed suddenly meaningless as she fears she might lose the man she loves. Howie blames himself, while Kim and Denise are left reeling. More Trending But outside the hospital walls, suspicions were rising. Lauren begins to notice Oscar's strange and sketchy behaviour. When she confronts him, her worst fears are confirmed: Oscar has stolen Patrick's money and must be behind the attack. Patrick is released from the hospital, and with Yolande and Howie by his side, he returns home. But the attack has shaken him and knocked his confidence.

EastEnders' Joel branded a ‘disgusting little pervert' as Ross makes a discovery
Ross Marshall (Alex Walkinshaw) has finally flipped over Joel's (Max Murray) disgusting behaviour in EastEnders. It became immediately clear when the father and son arrived in Walford alongside Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) earlier this year that they were hiding a fair few skeletons in their closet. They couldn't return to their home in Australia, as Joel had upskirted a pupil in his class, and Ross had paid her family $50,000 in exchange for their silence. He's since enacted havoc on the residents of Albert Square, impregnating Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James) and introducing new mate Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall) to dangerous adult content online. Later, Joel showed Tommy videos made by a disgusting influencer, who degrades women. Joel thought this was an appropriate way to talk about the opposite sex, branding his own mum a 'slapper', talking about how she abandoned him as a child. He also sexually assaulted a passenger on the London Underground in an utterly vile move, with Vicki paying off the victim. Earlier this week, Joel discovered some big news about his estranged mother Cleo, that left him reeling. Other than Joel's derogatory comments about his mum, we don't know an awful lot about her. She contacted Ross to inform him that she was remarrying, and despite us finally finding out her name, fans are still convinced that she is none other than Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan), using a pseudonym. This was fuelled by him yelling: 'Well, you ain't my mum, you don't get to tell me what to do!' during a row with Vicki, which seemed to echo a very famous 'Enders quote. As long-term fans will remember, back in 2005, Zoe screamed: 'You can't tell me what to do, you ain't my mother!', as her mum Kat (Jessie Wallace) howled back: 'Yes I am!' Joel's version coincidentally aired in the same week that Zoe returned after 20 years. Well, rather unsurprisingly, he hasn't taken it well. As we saw, he headed to The Vic to catch up with Tommy – and suggested they make things more exciting by stealing some booze from the barrel store. It didn't take long for the lads to be discovered, and Ross dragged Joel home. As he was being carted out of the pub he spurted a number of derogatory and extremely concerning comments about Kat. Back at home, Ross made another worrying discovery… In tonight's episode, Ross attempted to worm his way into Joel's mindset and learn the extent of his issues. Joel told his dad that as a man he has no rights, and continued to tear strips off Kat. Ross was at a loose end with what to say, and suggested they have a beer together and a heart to heart. Sitting down, Joel opened his laptop and played a video from the influencer he's a fan of. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street?

Ross compared the comments to something a comedian would say on TV in the 80s – laden with sexism and misogyny. However, when alone, Ross was startled by the extend the uploader went with this vile words. With Joel out of the room, Ross then spied an email that contained a video of a girl assaulted. To make matters worse, he then found countless other clips of girls being upskirted and voyeurism. More Trending Furious, he charged into the kitchen with the laptop and drenched it under the sink, revolted at what his son was capable of. As he branded him a 'revolting, arrogant, disgusting little pervert', Joel pleaded for forgiveness. But Ross wasn't in the forgiving mood, telling him that not only does he need help, but it's clear there's something wrong with him. View More » What will Joel's next move be?

Vinny makes unexpected confession to Aaron in Emmerdale
An afternoon with Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) led to Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson) making a very honest confession in Emmerdale. Vinny's head has been in a right mess ever since he tried to kiss his friend Kammy Hadiq (Shebz Miah). In the immediate aftermath, Vinny tried to tell Kammy it was a joke, but was actually left terribly confused about how it made him feel. Kammy has attempted to help Vinny talk through his feelings, but he's been quite defensive about it and has remained adamant his heart belongs with Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham). Yesterday, Vinny allowed himself a brief moment to not live in denial while spending time with Kammy again. At the scrapyard, Kammy gave Vinny a watch as a gift ahead of his wedding. He was touched and went to put it in the office as Kammy searched for items for his car. As Vinny watched his pal through the window, he started gazing at him lustfully. It was perhaps this interaction that prompted Vinny to be vulnerable in a chat with Aaron in this evening's episode. At the flat, as they battled some DIY, Aaron told Vinny that he kissed Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) on his wedding day. Moments later, Vinny told Aaron that he recently tried to kiss someone as well. He didn't confirm who it was, but Aaron assumed it was a female. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street? The latest gossip from Emmerdale?
