As one of the UK’s favourite reality dating shows, ITV’s Love Island has produced a string of attractive and savvy stars into the limelight following their appearances on the show.
Having tried their hand at finding love in the public eye, their growing fanbases have helped them go on to rake in the cash once they exit the villa.
From seven-figure roles and lucrative branding deals with major brands, which former islanders have gone on to earn the most money and how did they stack up the millions?
Let’s look at the top earning stars from the popular show and who’s currently topping the rich list…
Molly-Mae Hague
Molly-Mae Hague has reportedly made history as the richest ever Love Island contestant after the 23-year-old banked a whopping £2million over the pandemic.
Molly-Mae, who entered the show back in 2019 and found love with Tommy Fury, is now reported to be worth a whopping £6million.
The YouTuber’s fake tan brand Filter made £848,000 profit and she banked £1.2million at her company MMH Group Holdings.
