Inside the 2023 Love Island Rich List

Love Island Rich List 2023: Molly-Mae Hague eclipses fellow Islanders with a whopping £6 MILLION net worth – so did your favourite star make the cut?

While not everyone walks away from the Love Island villa in a couple, many walk away with a new business partner. 

In recent years the motivation for going on the show has become as much about landing lucrative fashion, beauty and entertainment deals as it has about finding romance.

Sitting atop of the rich list is Molly-Mae Hague with a staggering £6 million net worth while in the space of just a year Ekin-Su Culculoglu has landed herself a spot with £1.6 million. 

The latest crop of Islanders may struggle to reach their levels of success, however, after bosses implemented a social media ban which has had a massive impact on their outreach. 

Now MailOnline takes a look at the richest stars of Love Island.

Molly-Mae Hague – 2019 series – £6 million 

Molly-Mae shot to fame in the show’s fifth series when she found love with Tommy Fury finishing runners up to Amber Gill and Greg O’Shea – who parted ways just weeks later.

Already an influencer before joining the show, Molly has amassed 7.5 million Instagram followers and landed a six-figure deal when she signed with fast fashion chain PLT in 2019 to become their creative director. 

Molly-Mae has made bumper profits via her company MMH Group Holdings and her self-tanning business Filter. 

She added to her cash pot with her memoir released back in June – Becoming Molly-Mae – which sold at a cost of £20 and bulked up her fortune by £2million during the pandemic.

The star is also a brand ambassador for Beauty Works. 

Three years on, Molly and Tommy are still together and live in a £4million mansion in Cheshire. 

They welcomed their first child together, daughter Bambi, in January. 

Tommy, the younger brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, is a boxer himself.

He has an unbeaten boxing record and is said to have signed a six-figure deal to become the face of boohooMAN following his stint in the villa.

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 £2.4million.

Olivia and Alex Bowen – 2016 series – £4.5 million 

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 £5million 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 last year 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.

The daughter of EastEnders actor Danny Dyer, has successfully branded her self as a ‘mumfluencer’ after she welcomed son Santiago to the world with her jailed ex Sammy Kimmence in 2021.

She welcomed twin daughters, Summer and Star, with West Ham footballer boyfriend Jarred Bowen in May.  

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.

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.
