The Love Island Rich List 2025 reveals surprising star with £10m fortune – and it's NOT Molly-Mae Hague
Scroll down to find out which Love Islander can demand £16,800 for a single social media post ISLE SAY The Love Island Rich List 2025 reveals surprising star with £10m fortune – and it's NOT Molly-Mae Hague Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) 1. Tommy Fury, £10m 10 Tommy Fury earned a whopping £3.7m from a boxing match Tommy made a staggering £16,429 every day last year, thanks to lucrative boxing matches and brand deals. His company Tommy Fury TNT Ltd recorded profits of £6,134,097, while another company, Fury TNT, has £258,651 in reserves. Tommy – who was runner-up on the fifth season of Love Island with Molly-Mae Hague – was paid £1.1m for his 2023 boxing match against KSI and £1.6m to fight influencer Jake Paul earlier that year. The latter match netted him £3.7m, thanks to his 35% share of the huge pay–per-view takings. He also collects £150k annually as a Mars & Spencer ambassador and was paid six figures last year for his autobiography Lightning Can Strike Twice: My Life As A Fury. 2. Molly-Mae Hague, £8m 10 Molly-Mae Hague was paid more than £1m for a L'Oréal brand deal After leaving the villa with Tommy, Molly-Mae's not been doing too badly, either. She was paid more than £1m for a L'Oréal brand deal and earned a similar fee for her Beauty Works hair extensions range. Her Prime Video documentary, Molly-Mae: Behind It All – which followed her split from Tommy, before the pair reconcile in the second part of the series – was worth six figures. Producers are now offering a similar fee for another instalment. In September, she released her clothing line Maebe, which sold out in 24 minutes. Her MMH Group Holdings Ltd took earnings of £2.5m, while her fake-tan company Filter has £255,275 in the bank. Amazingly, she can also charge at least £10k for a single Instagram post to her 8.5m followers, often endorsing brands such as Gymshark and Aveeno. 3. Dani Dyer, £7.1m 10 Dani Dyer has a string of lucrative endorsements to her name Since winning Love Island with Jack Fincham in 2018, Dani has been raking it in. Due to tie the knot imminently with footballer and father of their twin daughters, Jarrod Bowen, she has a string of lucrative endorsements to her name. Her partnerships with My Babiie, Johnson's Baby and Pampers can earn her £16,800 for a single social media post. JoJo Siwa takes a swipe at ex Kath Ebbs after moving on with Love Island star Chris Hughes She hosts the Live And Let Dyers podcast with actor dad Danny for a six-figure fee, and the pair are currently filming a series for Sky, in which they attempt to run a caravan park together, for a similar amount. Since moving in with fiancé Jarrod, who plays for West Ham, she has rented out her five-bedroom Essex house for £3,150 a month and another flat for £2,150 a month. Her company, I Want It, I Got It Ltd has £178,104 in the bank. Now that's a wedding fund! 4. Megan Barton-Hanson, £7m 10 Megan Barton-Hanson has an army of loyal subscribers paying £16 every month for content She may have deactivated her OnlyFans account at the request of producers when she entered the villa in 2018, but Megan is now one of the site's top earners, netting an estimated £1.5m every month and up to £10k for a five-minute-long personalised video. It's all thanks to an army of loyal subscribers paying £16 every month for content. One of them even has a fetish for pretending to be a bug, and paid Megan £30k over the course of two months for videos of her 'squishing' him. Outside of Only Fans, Megan has released her own range of mushroom supplements, Foreea, and has sponsorship deals with Shein, White Fox and Love Honey that make her £200k. As of last year, her company MBH Productions Ltd held a cool £388,873 cash in the bank. 5. Olivia Attwood, £6m 10 Olivia Attwood has just signed another six-figure deal to become a face of a make-up brand Since coming third with Chris Hughes in 2017, Olivia has been busy getting filthy rich herself, fronting a string of ITV series, including Getting Filthy Rich, The Price Of Perfection and Bad Boyfriends, for which she has been paid £350k a pop. She also receives several thousand per appearance as a Loose Women panellist. Her new Sunday-afternoon Kiss radio show, The Sunday Roast with TOWIE's Pete Wicks, pays six figures per year – and has seen a surge in people tuning in. Olivia also has a £150k collaboration with Abbott Lyon jewellery and has just signed another six-figure deal to become a face of make-up brand Maybelline. 6. Kem Cetinay, £5.5m 10 Kem Cetinay has clinched a series of lucrative contracts He won the 2017 series with Amber Davies and, despite the fact their relationship ended four months later, Kem has clinched a series of lucrative contracts. His range with Primark Man is worth £500k per year and includes a grooming range, Kem Cuts, which landed him a separate £1m deal. He has appeared on numerous reality TV shows, including Dancing On Ice, netting a five-figure salary, hosted Love Island: The Morning After until 2022, and is a presenter on This Morning In July last year, Kem was announced as the new radio host of The Capital Weekender shows on Friday and Saturday nights, reportedly signing a six-figure deal. 7. Olivia Bowen, £5.1m 10 Olivia Bowen can command six-figure fees for working with brands Olivia and now-husband Alex may not have clinched the second series of Love Island back in 2016, but the pair – who finished second – have proven themselves to be huge winners financially. With 3 million Instagram followers, Olivia can command six-figure fees for working with brands such as Glade and Philips, and admits that in a good month she can earn up to £50k. But she has long-term plans, and spent lockdown studying for a diploma in interior design for their multimillion-pound property empire, The Bowen House Limited. The couple now own six properties, including a £128k one-bed in Birmingham and a £175k three-bed, plus two mansions, as well as a plot of land they're developing in Spain. Not bad for a former sales executive who used to earn £18k a year. 8. Maura Higgins, £4.6m 10 Maura Higgins landed six-figure deals with L'Oréal and Ann Summers After leaving the fifth series in 2019, the Irish firecracker landed six-figure deals with L'Oréal and Ann Summers, and has been confirmed as a presenter on Love Island USA: Aftersun for the second year running. But following her time on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2024, those brand deals sky-rocketed and she's expected to earn £1.5m this year alone. On top of a sold-out clothing range with Oh Polly, the former ring girl has partnered with leisure clothing brand Alo, and is often seen in five-star locations in the Maldives, Dubai and Mykonos. Oh, and she can earn a whopping £31k per social media post. 9. Alex Bowen, £4.5m 10 Alex Bowen earns £75k per year from social media posts Former scaffolder Alex has bagged £700k from DJ gigs, and earns £75k per year from social media posts, promoting the likes of sportswear brand Gym King. On top of his and wife Olivia's property empire, Alex also earns £100k per year for his workout app, and is a keen car collector, who last year splashed out £30k on a Ford Ranger. In 2023, the couple sold their Essex mansion for £1.3m – a cool £500k profit on their purchase price – and home is now a luxury four-bedroom pad they built themselves on a £250k plot in rural Essex, complete with a swimming pool, a home gym and, of course, a Love-Island-style outdoor kitchen. 10. Amber Davies, £4m 10 Amber Davies landed a string of lucrative deals including one worth £500k The Welsh actress turned down a role in a production of Hairspray to appear on Love Island – and boy did it pay off. After winning the third series in 2017, Amber landed a string of lucrative deals including one worth £500k with fashion label Motel Rocks, before finding West End stardom. She's currently appearing in The Great Gatsby at London's Coliseum theatre, after netting £1.5m starring in 9 To 5 The Musical, as well as roles such as Marty McFly's mum Lorraine in Back To The Future: The Musical, and Pretty Woman. Last year, she bagged £60k by taking part in Dancing On Ice, and is now investing in property letting with her company Forty 7 Properties Ltd. Bravo!

Fashion fans go wild as they discover section of Boohoo that is selling designer handbags at a fraction of the price
And it's not just handbags shoppers can get their hands on for a reduced price BAG A BARGAIN Fashion fans go wild as they discover section of Boohoo that is selling designer handbags at a fraction of the price FASHION fans know and love fashion site Boohoo for its stylish clothing, but many are only just finding out about a little-known section of the site. The pre-loved section allows shoppers to get their hands on designer items for a discounted price - and there's plenty to choose from. Advertisement 3 Highlights from the pre-loved range include a Staud leather bag for a reduced price Credit: Staud 3 Shoppers can also bag bargains from the likes of Louis Vuitton Credit: Supplied 3 The little-known section of the site is perfect for those on the hunt for designer gems Credit: PA Shoppers can access the pre-loved gems through the normal Boohoo site and there's no special requirements to browse or buy. With over 10,000 items, there's sure to be something you'll love too. Prices for designer bags start at just £81, with new items being uploaded to the site all the time. Highlights like a Louis Vuitton Preloved Petite Malle Monogram Canvas Tote Bag Brown for just £176.40 mean the site is a great choice to treat yourself to a designer bargain. Advertisement There's also trendy styles like a Staud Preloved Biscuit Mini Structured Leather Handbag Wo for just £199.80, reduced from £322. And it's not just pre-loved bags shoppers can enjoy. The site also has jewellery, clothing, shoes, watched and even luggage. Of course, if you're not in the market for a designer bargain the brand still has plenty of stylish picks for bargain prices. Recently, they even dropped a designer-inspired bag that's sure to turn heads this season. Advertisement It looks strikingly similar to one of Molly-Mae Hague's favourite accessories and it's super purse-friendly. Thanks to Boohoo, shoppers can now get their hands on a 'perfect' bag that's not only been hailed as 'stylish' but super 'spacious' too. I'm a midsize 12 and I've found the perfect pair of jeans that suit all body shapes - they're so stretchy and affordable It's strikingly similar to a bag the former Love Island star and Filter founder loves by designer brand Bottega Veneta. But rather than the luxe price tag, it's over £3,000 cheaper - yes, you heard that correctly. Advertisement So if the thought of spending £3,100 on a bag that's often seen on the influencer's Instagram sends shivers down your spine, then you'll need to run to the Boohoo website to order the Woven Slouchy Tote Bag, before it sells out. 6 Things you didn't know about Boohoo Boohoo was founded in the heart of Manchester's historic textile district in 2006 by Mahmud Kamani and Carol Kane. Boohoo has made a whopping £1,769m in revenue. Social media is key to Boohoo's success with £116.8m spent on marketing campaigns in 2020-2021. About 40% of Boohoo's clothing is produced in the UK. A piece of Boohoo clothing can go from design to sale in two weeks, the BBC reported. In 2019, Boohoo was named one of the least sustainable fashion brands in the UK in a report published by the Environmental Audit Committee (EAC). Not only could it easily be mistaken for the designer version, but it's currently on sale for just £14.40, down from its original price of £24. As well as a discount of £9.60 on the affordable accessory, it's also £3,085.60 less than the Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Leather Tote. The two bags look almost identical, with a number of similar features. Advertisement

She revealed how it is "worse then last time" as her eye is now "fully closed" EYE SORE Why Molly-Mae's sister Zoe has ended up with botched Botox TWICE & the hidden signs it can happen to you Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GOING into 'hiding' once again, Molly-Mae Hague's sister, Zoe, has been left with a drooping eyelid after receiving Botox. Despite experiencing a similar issue back in February and vowing to swear off the treatment, the 28-year-old found herself in the same predicament in her quest to go wrinkle-free. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 Molly Maes sister Zoe Rae Hague reveals her botched botox disaster Credit: YouTube 8 Zoe vowed that she wouldn't get Botox again after her previous experience Credit: Instagram The reality star's sister admitted she could "weep" after the procedure went wrong again, leaving her with a half-closed eye that she felt compelled to conceal behind sunglasses. Zoe candidly shared her beauty mishap in a video on her YouTube page titled "I won't be posting for a while." In the video shared on her YouTube, she confessed: "And I hold my hands up – I said I wasn't going to do it again, and I was really just going to rock the forehead lines – but I didn't. "I wanted to try Botox again, and you won't believe my luck. Honestly, I could weep! I'm so sad, I'm literally so sad." 8 Zoe is now choosing to spend some time away from vlogging while her eye recovers Credit: instagram/@zoerae/ Zoe then lifted her sunglasses to reveal the aftermath of the procedure, showing her left eye significantly drooping compared to her right – a repeat of what happened the first time. She explained that she had returned to the same clinic that had administered her Botox in February, praising the aesthetician for being "so, so careful" in avoiding areas that could lead to ptosis (eyelid droop). However, this time, the outcome was even worse. Zoe shared: "It's actually worse than last time – my eye is now fully closed, pretty much." Reduce the risks of it happening to you Dr Aamer Khan, a leading cosmetic doctor and co-founder of Harley Street Skin Clinic, has weighed in on Zoe's experience, emphasising the importance of choosing clinics and practitioners wisely. Molly-Mae Hague's sister Zoe left 'weeping' after trying out Botox again - and the results are even WORSE than last time 'Zoe Rae's (née Hague's) experience is a reminder that even minimally invasive treatments like Botox can carry small risks,' he says.

Dr Aamer adds: 'Given that she has reported repeated issues, I would recommend reassessing whether the practitioner is the right fit, if the treatment is suitable for her individual needs, or even exploring alternative options.' He also advises anyone experiencing similar symptoms to consult their practitioner promptly. 'For those like Zoe who experience ptosis, it's important to consult their practitioner promptly,' he says. 'Treatment options like alpha-adrenergic agonist eye drops (apraclonidine) can temporarily help elevate the eyelid. 'However, ptosis typically resolves itself as the effects of the toxin wear off and normal muscle function returns. 'Having chosen a medically qualified practitioner with a good working knowledge of facial anatomy and extensive experience in Botox treatments, it is important to discuss the potential risks and side effects during a consultation beforehand. 'Following the recommended aftercare guidance is also key to reducing the risk of complications and achieving the best possible outcome.' 8 Dr. Aamer Khan, a leading cosmetic doctor and co-founder of Harley Street Skin Clinic, believes it is important to research into your practitioner Credit: Nicky Johnston
