Love Island Rich List 2025: Molly-Mae is filthy rich at the top of the leaderboard - but did your favourite star make the cut?
It's becoming increasingly rare for Love Islanders to find 'the one' in the villa, but it seems for many singletons that was never their intention. In recent years the motivation for going on the show has become more about fame and fortune than it has about romance. The opportunity to land a lucrative fashion, beauty or entertainment deal on the back of an appearance in the popular series has left finding love in the villa seem almost insignificant. In the past the likes of Molly-Mae Hague, Maura Higgins and Dani Dyer have made themselves household names after beginning their journey on Love Island - but exactly how many millions have your favourite islanders amassed? Let's take a look... From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury - £9 million - 2019 series While their relationship has been on the rocks over the past year, Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury 's bank balance certainly hasn't. Arguably the show's most popular couple ever, the pair found love during series five of Love Island and ultimately finished in second place behind Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea - who parted ways weeks later. Some six years on, 25-year-old Molly-Mae boasts 8.5 million followers on Instagram and has millions in the bank after a host of successful business ventures such as signing a six-figure deal with PLT in 2019. She was too reportedly paid more than £1million for her L'Oreal brand deal and demanded a similar fee for her Beauty Works hair extensions range. Her memoire - Becoming Molly-Mae - sold at a cost of £20 and bulked up her fortune by a reported £2million. While the influencer's Molly-Mae: Behind It All documentary which detailed her recent split from Tommy was reportedly worth six figures. The fan-favourite couple have since mended their differences and are back together having enjoyed a loved-up getaway to Dubai together along with their daughter Bambi, 2. Much of Tommy's earnings have been made from his efforts in the boxing ring. The younger brother of heavyweight legend Tyson Fury, he signed a six figure deal with boohooMAN after leaving the villa and has fought in a number of celebrity boxing bouts. It's believed he made at least £3.7million from his win over Jake Paul in Riyadh. Brand and culture expert Nick Ede believes that if well advised, Fury will make 'at least £10million' in the next 2-3 years - much of it from outside boxing. He is currently worth a reported £3million. Joey Essex - £8 million - 2024 He'd been a household name in Britain for years for his exploits on The Only Way Is Essex, but in 2024 Joey shocked fans when he entered the villa as the season's first bombshell. Saying he was 'looking to find a wife', Joey rekindled a romance with former flame on the outside Grace Jackson before finishing the season with blonde beauty Jessy Potts. Later last year the Essex boy featured in an episode of Selling Sunset where he was in the market for a stunning mansion with a budget of around $5 million. Fans however were surprised Joey could afford such a property, with one questioning: 'Lool Joey Essex can afford a $5 million house?!' The answer to that question is indeed 'yes' nevertheless. After a long career in reality TV, Joey has amassed quite the fortune. Having been paid £60,000 to go in the I'm A Celeb jungle in 2013, nine years later he was paid £211,000 to appear on the Australian version of the show. He's also had a number of business ventures such as a hair product line, he's released an album, a clothing line, fragrances and bagged deals with brands such as McDonald's, Volvic and Batchelors Cup-a-Soup. Thanks to such success, the 34-year-old is estimated to be worth around £8 million. Dani Dyer - £7.1 million - 2018 series Dani, the daughter of EastEnders star Danny Dyer, shot to fame on Love Island season four after a failed stint on fellow ITV series, Survival of the Fittest. She left the show victorious with Jack Fincham and was embraced by the public due to her humour and no-nonsense personality. However her and Jack split months later, with Dani later finding love with West Ham United winger Jarrod Bowen, who she tied the knot with last month. Dani and Jarrod share two children together, with the Love Islander also having one with her jailed ex Sammy Kimmence in 2021. She has capitalised on her skills as an actress thanks to the platform Love Island gave her after winning in 2018. The star coined the phrase 'Perf with Surf' for an advertising campaign with washing powder Surf and she has a podcast with her famous father called Sorted with the Dyers. In 2021 it was revealed she had raked in a whopping £250,000 the previous year, with accounts for Dani's firm I Want It, I Got It Ltd showing the star had a cash reserve of £318,630 for 2020, a near £70,000 increase from £251,318 in 12 months. Dani's podcast with her similarly-named father Danny, titled Live and Let Dyers, has also been a major earner with the TV personality reportedly paid a six figure sum to host the show. She has written a book, gained more than three million Instagram followers and released lucrative clothing collections with In The Style. Olivia and Alex Bowen - £5 million - 2016 series Season two runners-up Olivia and Alex Bowen have also proven the power of the longstanding couple in the financial stakes, with the pair racking up a £5 million fortune collectively thanks to brand endorsements, TV appearances and their fashion brand, Exempt Society. Olivia and Alex, formerly a sales executive and scaffolder, soared to fame in 2016 when they appeared on the ITV2 reality show, where she was an original star and he a late and extremely popular entrant. While their romance was initially thrown into despair when he enjoyed a night of passion with Zara Holland, things soon flourished for the duo. Loved-up couple Olivia and Alex tied the knot in a luxurious Essex ceremony two years after meeting on Love Island during series two. Their star-studded day secured them a lucrative £25,000 magazine deal and saw stars such as Gabby Allen, Pete Wicks, Tina Stinnes and Kady McDermott attended. They scooped another reality show with TLC's Olivia & Alex: Happily Ever After? The couple welcomed their son Abel in June 2022 and revealed they are planning on having more children. In 2020 Olivia admitted she could earn up to £50,000 a month, a far cry from the pay cheque she received working as a sales executive. Amber Davies £3.2 million - 2017 series West End star Amber Davies is said to be worth £3.2million having returned to her acting roots after her Love Island stint. Having successfully auditioned for her dream role in Dolly Parton's musical 9 to 5, she also has 1.3million followers on social media and often gives them a glimpse at life backstage. She previously starred on stage in Back to the Future: The Musical where she played Lorraine Baines and also bagged a role in Pretty Woman as Vivian. She's currently appearing in The Great Gatsby in London's Coliseum theatre, after netting a reported £1.5 million during her time in 9 to 5 the musical. During an appearance on Dancing On Ice in 2024, Amber was paid a reported £60,000. As well as her theatre work, she still makes money from collaborations, having landed a £500,000 deal with fashion brand Motel Rocks. Maura Higgins - £3.2 million - 2019 series Molly-Mae's good pal Maura Higgins, 34, is said to be worth £3.2 million, using her impressive 4.1 million Instagram following to help her bring in some deals. Maura won an army of fans during her time on the show, with her quick wit and notorious showdown with model Tom Walker becoming iconic as they were due to spend the night in the hideaway. Her sensational snaps caught the attention of Elite Model Agency in 2019, with Maura joining the likes of Naomi Campbell on their books. She also reportedly netted a total of £500,000 for her work with clothing brand boohoo and lingerie giant Ann Summers. But arguably the biggest contributor to Maura's fortune was her appearance on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! late last year. A heap of brand deals followed meaning the reality star is expected to earn £1.5 million this year alone. Kem Cetinay - £2.5 million - 2017 series Amber Davies' ex-boyfriend Kem Cetinay has followed her onto the rich list and is said to be worth £2.5 million. The hairdresser, 29, signed a reported seven-figure deal with Primark dealing with the front grooming range which includes hairdryers, clippers and CBD. Shortly after leaving the villa Kem released a single with fellow Islander Chris Hughes that peaked at 15th in the UK music charts. He began co-presenting the podcast Love Island: The Morning After with Arielle Free in 2018 but the pair were replaced by Sam Thompson and Indiyah Polack this year. Kem also had a go at broadcasting and was the backstage host of Dancing On Ice on the most recent series. In July of last year, Kem was announced as the new radio host of The Capital Weekender shows on Friday and Saturday nights in a deal worth six figures. On the business-front, he owns a restaurant in Romford called Array, a move that came as a shock to fans as he failed to impress on Celebrity Masterchef. Megan Barton-Hanson - £2 million - 2018 series Megan Barton-Hanson, 31, won legions of fans on the 2018 series due to her stunning looks and romances with Eyal Booker and Wes Nelson. Her biggest financial success came when she launched herself as an OnlyFans model, becoming one of the site's biggest names. She banked a million in 12 months and is said to have raked in the cash selling lingerie. Having also appeared on Celebrity Ex On The Beach, Megan is said to be worth £2 million. She made well over a million in the last financial year and is also thought to have made a fortune selling sexy lingerie. Megan's proud stance on her sexuality also landed her a lingerie edit, Megan Loves, with Ann Summers, as well as her own collection of sex toy picks with the multinational retailer.

She's earned a lot of money fronting a host of ITV shows, from the aptly named Getting Filthy Rich to Bad Boyfriends, for which she has reportedly been paid £350,000 a series. During her time as a Loose Woman panelist, the 34-year-old is believed to have earned several thousand per appearance. And her new Sunday afternoon radio show on Kiss with Pete Wicks pays a six figure sum to the former Love Island contestant every year. During her time as a Loose Woman panelist, Olivia is believed to have earned several thousand per appearance Ekin-Su Culculoglu - £1.6 million - 2022 series 'Turkish delight' Ekin-Su Culculoglu, 30, who won with Davide Sanclimenti, 30, was tipped to become the most-successful Love Island contestant ever. Ekin left the Love Island villa not only as the show's winner but with the biggest following, and now has a staggering 4.3 million Instagram followers. She has since made a return to the villa for series two of Love Island: All Stars where she found a connection with dancer Curtis Pritchard, 29. However just a couple of weeks ago the couple announced their split. The Essex-based actress was 'inundated with offers' by multiple retailers following her landslide win first time round and signed the biggest clothing deal in the show's history with brand Oh Polly. The actress competed in Dancing On Ice in 2023 and then headed to the states to take part in their version of The Traitors. She was reportedly offered a staggering £100,000 for her appearance on Dancing On Ice.

10 best skipping ropes for improving fitness, stamina and speed, tried and tested
