Peter Stringfellow is a British businessman and nightclub owner who has an estimated net worth of $50 million. Born Peter James Stringfellow on October 17, 1940 in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, he attended Pye Bank Church of England Primary School. However, he failed his 11 plus so he attended Burngreave Secondary School for a year. He then passed the exam for Sheffield Central Technical College and left three years later at the age of 15 with a 4th grade Technical Diploma.

After Stringfellow left school, he had multiple jobs including cinema projectionist, steel worker, member of the Merchant Navy, and also a salesman. He began running dance nights at his local church that led to launching his own club called Black Hat club in 1962. He began another club venture in 1963 called The Blue Moon. In the following year, he opened another club called King Mojo Club. The venue went on to host acts such as Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder, and Ike and Tina Turner. After his success, he began opening more clubs after he relocated to London in the 70s. He then began launching additional nightspots in the United States especially in New York. Miami, and Los Angeles. Following a bankruptcy in the early 90s, he shifted the focus of all of his clubs and turned them to strip clubs.
