Love Island champ Amber Gill comes in third

In third place is 2019 winner Amber Gill, who is now worth around £2m.

Initially not a favourite with fans, Amber managed to work her way up to the top and win the prize money.

Soon after winning she bagged a £1m deal with Miss Pap.

She’s thought to have made the rest of her cash from social media ventures.

Who else is on the richest Love Island contestant list?

In fourth place is Megan Barton-Hanson, who proved to be one of the show’s most controversial figures.

Since leaving she became a sponsor for Pretty Little Things, and bagged herself two million Instagram followers to match her £2m fortune.

She’s also an ambassador for lingerie shop Ann Summers and runs a successful Only Fans account.

In fifth place is Amber Davies.

Since leaving the villa in 2017, Amber has gone on to amass a fortune of around £1.7m.

She decided to pursue her passion for acting, and ended up scoring a role in West End musical 9 to 5.

Amber also partnered with Motel Rocks, who paid her a whopping £500,000 in return.

Next up, Kem Cetinay and Jesy Nelson’s ex Chris Hughes share the sixth spot. They may not be a couple, but they certainly are a double act.

They were best pals on the show, and have been inseparable ever since.

The pair are both worth around £1.4m.

While Kem bagged a role on Dancing On Ice, Chris scored partnerships with TopShop and Carphone Warehouse.
