Who is Guy Phoenix?
Born in the early 1970s, Guy Phoenix is known for building super-homes for the mega rich.
He lived with his dad and stepmum in Warwickshire, and was “indefinitely suspended” from school at the age of 16.
He then moved to Nottingham to live with his mum.
He ended up living in his car after arguing with his mum, before landing a job as a labourer.
In 2023, the incredible work that Guy does in transforming homes was the subject of the Channel 4 show, Building Britain’s Superhomes.
The two-parter followed the self-taught builder and his team as they tackled a difficult £4.5million build on a steep slope in Nottingham’s exclusive Park Estate.
In March 2025, the show launched its second season which follows Guy as he takes on another jaw-dropping house transformation.
What is Guy Phoenix’s net worth?
As of March 2025, Guy’s exact net worth hasn’t been disclosed, but industry experts estimate that his wealth should exceed £10million.
He also owns an impressive portfolio of houses, which will add to his fortune.
One of his properties is the stunning 10-bedroom Villa 19, in the South of France, with views over nearby Monaco and St Tropez.
He bought the dilapidated mansion, which had leaking roofs and crumbling walls, in 2020 and spent five months restoring it to its former glory.
Now boasting a cinema room, landscaped gardens and a 20ft bed in the master bedroom, Villa 19 is worth £7million and is rented out at £20k a week.

Guy is a family man, and is happily married to wife Michelle.
The couple have four children Jack, Harrison, Fletcher, and Sienna.
The family live in a home in Nottingham, which was one of the first properties Guy renovated.
What does Guy Phoenix do for a job?
Guy has become the go-to builder for the super rich, constructing superhomes that sell for up to £25million.
His move into the property market came when he bought a £35,000 rundown terraced house in a poor area of Nottingham.
He put in a new kitchen and some garden decking then redecorated it himself.
Speaking to The Sun he said: “After that, I bought the one next door and I did the same with that and I made a little bit more money, then I bought another and another,” he says.
“I began buying in a slightly better area, knocked some walls out and made a bit more and I suddenly realised I was enjoying this.”
Among the amazing properties Guy has built is the five-bed mansion Fairmont, in Edwalton, Nottinghamshire, which boasts a swimming pool, spa, dining room with wall-to-wall wine fridges and 785sq ft of balconies – which is on the market at £3.7million.
He has also ventured into fashion, launching his own clothing brand called Guy Phoenix Casuals.
The collection features hoodies, shirts and fashionable work wear for construction workers.
