Love Island stars rich list – from multi-millionaires Amber Gill to Molly-Mae with £2m in the bank
HAVING sex on TV, loads of Instagram followers and a golden tan can be expected after signing up to Love Island – but for some they can walk away a millionaire.
While the show winners take home half of the £50k prize, the real money is made through magazine deals, clothing lines and sponsored social media posts.
Stars from Amber Gill to Molly-Mae have bagged a whopping £2million since starring on the show – and series two runner-ups Alex Bowen and Olivia Buckland lead the way with £4.5m in the bank.
Here we take a look at the stars who landed the biggest paydays since leaving the Love Island villa.
Alex Bowen and Olivia Buckland £4.5m
Since getting together on 2016’s Love Island, Alex and Olivia have become a real power couple worth £4.5million.
They bagged a £25,000 magazine deal for their wedding and starred in their own TLC show, Olivia & Alex: Happily Ever After.
Now the pair share a lavish Essex home and Olivia is the face of W7 cosmetics and works as a TV presenter, while Alex has modelled for BoohooMAN.
Amber Gill £2m
Lovable Amber shared last year’s Love Island prize with Greg O’Shea, but they split weeks later and she went on to become the show’s fastest earning star.
The savvy ex-beauty therapist earned a whopping £1million from her Amber Gill x Misspap collection and uses her influencer power to demand a cool £10k per Instagram post.
Molly-May Hague and Tommy Fury £2m
They’ve been out of the villa for less than a year, but Ellie Belly’s co-parents are raking in the cash with an estimated worth of £2million.
Molly got off to a flying start with her PrettyLittleThing clothing range which netted her £500,000 and with 4.2million followers she can make £10K per Insta post.
Mayo-lover Tommy starred in a Hellmann’s ad, has a deal with BoohooMAN plus he combines boxing with telly appearances.
Megan Barton-Hanson £2m
The bombshell of 2018’s season has wasted no time racking up that cash, becoming an ambassador for PrettyLittleThing and tanning giant Isle of Paradise.
She appeared on Celebs Go Dating and has kept fans entertained during lockdown with her Megan Loves edit for Ann Summers in a deal that’s rumoured to be worth six figures.
Dani Dyer £1.7m
Bagging the £50K prize with Jack Fincham in 2018 was just the start for Dani.
Since then, she’s collaborated with In The Style, Mark Hill Hair, Lucozade and Cadbury. Her Insta account is lucrative, earning her an estimated 15K a post and she also starred in Nativity! The Musical with her dad Danny.
Amber Davies £1.6m
Talented Amber’s worked hard since swiping half the 2017 prize with Kem Cetinay.
She landed a role in the stage musical 9 to 5, with an ITVBe show following her journey.
Add in a Motel Rocks contract for £500,000, modelling for Boux Avenue and big money Insta posts and she’s made a fortune.
Kem Cetinay £1.5m
The former hairdresser bromanced his way to victory in 2017 and also starred in Dancing On Ice before bagging a job as a backstage reporter for the show.
His rap career with Chris Hughes was brief, but last year he became Primark’s first menswear ambassador.
Chris Hughes 1.4m
Jesy Nelson’s ex may be unlucky in love, but he’s unleashed the power of posing in his pants for Topman to make some cash. Collaborations with Carphone Warehouse, McDonald’s and Playstation have also kept his bank balance healthy.
Gabby Allen £1.3m
Scouse hottie Gabby found love with Marcel in the 2017 villa and after they split she appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, but it’s her fitness empire that’s made her fortune.
Fans who want to emulate her toned derriere have gone wild for her online workouts and fitness and food book Shape Up With Gabby Allen.
Kady McDermott £1.3m
Remember 2016’s Love Island, when Kady came third with beau Scott Thomas?
The pocket rocket and ex-makeup artist made a packet by launching her own beauty line and fitness plan, Body Goals by Kady and she kept her profile high by doing a TOWIE stint with ex Myles Barnett.
