Millionaire James Watt is brutally roasted over ‘cringe’ LinkedIn engagement announcement to Georgia Toffolo

Millionaire James Watt has been brutally roasted online over his ‘cringe’ LinkedIn engagement announcement to Made in Chelsea star Georgia Toffolo.

The mogul, 42, who is understood to be worth $337 million for co-founding the BrewDog brewery and pub chain, took to the networking platform to share the news that he had proposed to Georgia, 30, earlier this week.

But he faced immense scrutiny online after he used a slew of business jargon to describe their upcoming nuptials.

The CEO jokingly described his engagement to Georgia as a ‘long-term, contractual arrangement’ that he had made, which he said ‘looked poised for future growth.’

‘She said yes! Georgia Toffolo and I did a very cool deal at the end of last week,’ he wrote in the LinkedIn post.

‘It is a very long term, contractual arrangement which looks poised for future growth (business and personal). Lots of mutual investment into this one.’

But when someone took a screenshot of the announcement and shared it to X, formerly Twitter, it sparked furious backlash for James.

‘LinkedIn is a disease,’ the user captioned the post, which was viewed more than one million times.

‘I’m going to die of cringe,’ one person replied.

‘Hopefully his best friend doesn’t propose a joint venture,’ someone else joked.

‘How NOT to announce your engagement,’ another user added. 

‘That’s so embarrassing I’d give the ring back,’ a fourth tweet read, while a fifth said, ‘Instant ick.’

James got down on one knee while he and Georgia were celebrating her 30th birthday in Greece.

A source told DailyMail.com afterwards: ‘He asked her to marry him in front of both of their families in Greece. 

‘After the proposal they went to a big party at the Peligoni club and ended up dancing on tables to ABBA, celebrating with all the other guests.’ 

‘James just asked me to marry him,’ the reality star shared on Instagram afterwards.

‘It really was the best moment of my life so far. I never knew I could feel happiness like this. The easiest, quickest yes to being your wife.

‘Our love story is my favorite. How we managed to find each other out of billions of people out there will always be my greatest blessing. I love you forever and the magical life we’re building.’

James stepped down as Brewdog’s CEO over the summer and has since raised more than $3.2 million of investment for his new venture, a brand-led social media platform called Social Tip.
