Deborah Meaden, precisely 5ft 2in (157.5 cm) tall, is a petite British businesswoman and TV personality whose diminutive stature enhances her formidable presence on Dragon's Den.
Best known for her shrewd investments and no-nonsense style on the hit BBC show, Meaden's compact height stands in stark contrast to her outsized business achievements, including running a multimillion-pound family holiday business through a successful management buyout.
She has quipped about her height in relation to her 6ft 5in husband: their kitchen, designed for him, makes her feel like Alice in Wonderland, underscoring how her small frame belies her giant entrepreneurial spirit.
