Mikołaj "Bagi" Bagiński marked his 25th birthday on Thursday, and Pudelek.pl used the occasion to examine how the young entertainer built a business portfolio that has made him one of the most talked-about entrepreneurs of his generation in Polish show business. According to the outlet, his flagship company, DRE$$CODE CREW, recorded more than 8.5 million złoty in revenue in 2024 alone, while his streetwear app Dropsy generated 3.8 million złoty over the same period.
Pudelek.pl reports that Bagiński's name is now tied to more than 23 business entities. His holdings include the youth-oriented brand DRE$$CODE, the clothing label Leeves and the streetwear platform Dropsy. The outlet notes that his rise has drawn considerable attention within the industry given his age.
Why it matters
Bagiński's case is notable because he built his commercial footprint while remaining a public figure in entertainment, and he has consistently rejected the typical influencer label. Pudelek.pl reports that he avoids accepting free PR packages in front of the camera and steers clear of online feuds, choosing instead to present himself primarily as an entrepreneur.
The numbers behind his companies also give the public something concrete to assess. Rather than relying on boasts, the outlet points to official financial data as the basis for describing him as a millionaire.
A Crystal Ball and a charitable gesture
Bagiński's nationwide recognition was cemented by his victory in the 17th season of "Taniec z Gwiazdami," where he and dance partner Magdalena Tarnowska won the Crystal Ball. According to Pudelek.pl, he donated the entire main prize of 200,000 złoty to charity without hesitation.
The outlet reports that he is regularly involved in supporting organizations assisting people with Down syndrome. That record contributed to him being named Varsovian of the Year 2025, per Pudelek.pl.
From an online shop to a portfolio of companies
Pudelek.pl reports that Bagiński has said since the start of his online activity that entrepreneurship is his true calling. He began modestly with his own online store before gradually attaching his name to a growing set of businesses.
In 2025, Forbes magazine placed him on its "30 before 30" list. In an interview with the publication, Bagiński recalled that the Dropsy app initially became more popular than he was himself, and that it took him time to match its reach with his own, according to Pudelek.pl.
Reinvesting rather than collecting properties
Bagiński recently discussed how he manages his capital on the "Z bliska" podcast hosted by Małgorzata Rozenek. Pudelek.pl reports that he used the conversation to push back on the idea that he simply sits on piles of cash, explaining that most of the profits his companies generate are immediately put back into developing the businesses.
According to the outlet, he said he employs roughly 60 to 70 people and spends several hundred thousand złoty a month on salaries. He noted that this means, unlike some of his influencer acquaintances, he does not own a housing estate of apartments bought as investments.
Pudelek.pl also reports that he has shown off a new car, replacing a spotted Tesla with a Jeep costing more than 300,000 złoty.
What to watch
With his companies still growing and his profile extending beyond entertainment into business, the coming years will show whether Bagiński's reinvestment strategy sustains the momentum his 2024 results suggest.
