English hypnotist and writer, Paul McKenna has a net worth of $100 million. The power of positive thinking has helped the hypnotist move from his childhood home in Enfield, North London, to a £3.4 million five-bedroom house in the Hollywood Hills. He left school with just two O-levels and an A-level in art and worked as a DJ on Topshop's in-store radio station in Oxford Street, later joined Capital Radio, where he met a hypnotist who was a guest on his show. Fascinated, he trained to become one himself and never looked back.
The ITV show The Hypnotic World Of Paul McKenna had viewing rating of 13 million and was sold to over 42 countries. He signed a three-year deal reportedly worth £23 million with the Discovery Channel in the U.S. to make a series of self-help programmes. The writer of several books about self-improvement, he has made millions of pounds from books, downloads and DVDs on how to lose weight, stop smoking or become more confident. McKenna has a London home and his HQ in Kensington, though there is little obvious wealth in his British companies such as Chocolate Cow Ltd, with just £263,000 net assets between, according to the Sunday Times magazine.
