The half an hour episodes told us a lot about the situation with her ex Tommy Fury, also 25, co-parenting and even 'that' £140 blazer controversy.
But eagle-eyed fans also noticed her impressive and expensive wardrobe and beauty buys - as well as her phone habits that demonstrate her eye-watering earnings.
Here we take a look at the seven subtle signs in her ‘raw and real’ documentary that point to her booming financial success - from her posh car to Bambi’s pricey nursery - after the star faced backlash over her ‘rip-off’ clothing line.
Risky business - going caseless
During the documentary, whilst the influencer took snaps to post to her social media channels, she confessed: “I’m a huge perfectionist and sometimes that can be a bit frustrating when it comes to posting my content.

“I find it really hard to not take control.
“I’m so particular with how I like things on Instagram, I could take this picture 1,000 times and I still won’t like it.”
But whilst she took pictures for Maebe’s promotional content, Molly Mae’s fans noticed something that left them open-mouthed - the star didn’t have a protective case on her iPhone.
Posting on TikTok, one stunned fan wrote: ‘All I keep thinking is how rich must someone be to not have a case on their phone’.

Meanwhile, someone else penned: ‘Tell us you're rich without telling us you're rich.’
Snapping it up - 211,000 pictures
Not only does Molly Mae, who earns cash through her businesses and paid partnership posts, not have a case on her phone, but she’s also got an insane amount of storage on her device too.

Whilst most iPhones have 64GB as a basic storage option, which can store around 19,7333 photos, it appears that the Maebe founder must have splashed the cash for an increased storage plan.
During the second episode, Molly, who has 1.9million subscribers on YouTube, admitted: “I will actually be embarrassed to disclose how many pictures it takes to get the one. Sometimes it can be an unhealthy amount.
“The number of photos in my camera roll right now is 211,000 and I think I’ve only had this phone for less than a year.
“It’s really bad isn’t it. If that does not sum me up I don’t know what does.”
Driving in style - £193k ‘dream car’
On multiple occasions throughout the episodes, fans saw the busy mum driving her posh car.

And it appears that whilst the blonde beauty is down to earth when it comes to her emotions, she has in fact splashed the cash on her lavish motor - a £193,000 Mercedes-AMG G 63 Magno Edition.
The mum-of-one was seen having an argument with Tommy whilst driving and even pulled up to the McDonald’s drive-through in her lavish vehicle.
Recently, Molly-Mae opened up about her expensive new car, and on a YouTube vlog, she said: “I'm joining you today from my new car which is so exciting. I've only waited for this moment for just over a year.
Timeline of Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury's split
After five years together, Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury split up in August 2024.
At around 4pm on Wednesday, August 14, Molly-Mae and Tommy suffer an explosive showdown and Molly-Mae announces her split from fiancé Tommy Fury, saying ' I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way'.
An hour later Tommy shares a separate and brief statement confirming they have parted ways, and thanks Molly-Mae for making him 'a dad'.
The real reason they split emerges and on Thursday, August 15 The Sun reveals how Molly-Mae learned Tommy had cheated on her - leading to an explosive showdown.
On Saturday, August 17, The Sun reveals how Molly-Mae had been sent an upsetting video showing Tommy kissing a girl in a nightclub in North Macedonia on a lads holiday.
Exactly one week after the split a Danish woman accused of getting close to Tommy speaks to The Sun. On Wednesday, August 21, she denies she is the girl who kissed Tommy.
"I don't do vision boards, but it's been on my goals list for a while and I have been desperate to tick it off... and now I have."
She said of the new 4x4: "This has been my dream car for literally years and years. I feel so lucky and happy.”
Impressive wardrobe - with barely used posh gym clothes
Throughout the fly-on-the-wall documentary, fans were given a glimpse inside the Filter founder’s posh £4million Cheshire mansion, but it was her wardrobe that left many totally gobsmacked.

Not only does she have shelves of big brand heels and clothes aplenty, but she even has a drawer full of clothes that she never wears.
As she showed off her posh activewear selection, which was folded up neater than displays in most shops, Molly explained: “I do love my wardrobe and I do love my clothes, it’s where it all started for me really. I do love this room a lot, I spend a lot of time in here.
Why that drawer exists I don’t know
Molly Mae
“My gym clothes, which is really ironic as I don’t go to the gym.
“Why that drawer exists I don’t know.”
And of course Molly doesn’t just have Primark or even Nike clothes for the occasional workout - instead, the never used drawer was full of the latest buys from Adanola, Alo and Gymshark - where shoppers can see leggings for £158 and sports bras for £144.
Posh scents - a perfume collection worth thousands
Not only did we see a look inside her designer wardrobe, but viewers also had a sneak peak at her huge perfume collection - and it’s worth thousands.

The beauty fan has been candid in the past about her love of perfume - and whilst getting ready for her launch, the reality TV personality gave fans a quick glimpse at some of her favourite scents.
Not only has she got five bottles of Christian Dior Oud Rosewood perfume, which ranges between £125 for 40ml, upwards to £345 for 250ml, but on another shelf in her wardrobe she has at least eight bottles of Jo Malone, which are worth between £116 to £160 for 100ml.
Molly-Mae's glow-down from ‘glamour model’ to ‘yummy mummy’
Celebrity PR Expert, Ed Hopkins told Fabulous: “I believe Molly-Mae Hague's new look is more than just a style change but a powerful statement of who she is becoming.
“It underscores her journey towards authenticity, maturity, and sophistication and is likely to enhance her success and influence in the years to come.”
Brand and Culture Expert Nick Ede agreed, and told Fabulous: “Molly-Mae has transformed herself into a yummy mummy who has ditched the glamour model style for a more relaxed and natural look.
“She’s becoming more down to earth and relatable to people and cleverly showing a softer side which will win her legions more fans in the process.”
According to Ed Hopkins, Molly-Mae’s chic new look could be “highly lucrative” for the star.
Ed told Fabulous: “Molly-Mae Hague's transformation towards a more natural, chic look seems to be a testament to her personal growth and evolving style.
“This change, which has become more pronounced since she became a mother, appears to reflect her journey towards embracing authenticity and sophistication.
“It's possible that this new image could be highly lucrative for Molly-Mae.
“Her chic, understated style might appeal to a wider audience, including more mature demographics and high-end brands, potentially opening up lucrative endorsement deals and partnerships.
“By adopting a more elegant look, she seems to align herself with premium and luxury brands that favour natural beauty and sophistication, which could lead to higher-paying collaborations.
“Additionally, with consumers increasingly valuing authenticity and natural beauty, her new image could be both timely and marketable.”
Nick Ede agreed and told Fabulous: “She has started to promote some really great luxury brands including the cosmetics brand Tatcha and with her laid back look she will make a lot of money from brands looking to align with her.”
Ed also noted that Molly-Mae’s transformation may be a sign that she is looking to step away from her reality show past.
He continued: “Molly-Mae's transformation also seems to symbolise her desire even more so to well and truly step out of the shadow of her Love Island persona.
“The shift to a more mature and unique style appears to demonstrate her growth and her wish to be seen as an individual beyond her reality TV beginnings.
“By shedding the bold, flashy look associated with her time on Love Island, she might be rebranding herself as a serious businesswoman and influencer who is carving out her own identity.
“This new look helps her stand out in the crowded influencer market, showcasing her as a trendsetter with a distinctive, refined aesthetic.”
Nick agreed and claimed: “Shedding the flash looks she previously went for, she's also detaching herself from the Love Island stereotype and stepping out as her own person with a cool look that’s not flashy but totally on trend.
“Gone are the 'look at me' posts and in are family style posts and trend led fashion statements.”
Molly also appeared to give herself a spritz with the Giorgio Armani Si Eau de Parfum, which is £73 from Boots.
Previously, Molly shared her perfume enthusiasm and wrote on Instagram: “I can’t tell you how long I've been waiting to put these scenes in their rightful position.
“Absolutely perfect. Don’t ask me my favourite because I genuinely can’t pick.”
Bambi’s £10k nursery - and a £5k crib
Also in the documentary, whilst Molly Mae opened up on feeling ‘like a single mum’ amid Tommy’s battle with alcohol, the influencer gave viewers a glimpse inside Bambi’s all-white nursery.

And it’s no surprise that Bambi’s neutral nursery, which reportedly cost her £10,000, has left many open-mouthed.
The spacious room for the almost two-year-old is complete with a £460 cloud chandelier and a jaw-dropping £5,000 modern acrylic crib.
It was previously reported that the Love Islander splashed out £400 on interior service Neo Home to design the aesthetically stunning nursery.

Not only is the nursery complete with a beautiful cloud feature, but there’s also a personalised neon sign, which can be found on Not on The High Street for £160.
As well as this, there’s an Ottie and the Bea Mr Maria Miffy Lamp, which costs £160.
As well as this, also in Bambi’s nursery is a designer Hermes Avalon throw blanket, which costs £1,430, as well as a modern Wayfair concrete accent table, which retails at £132.99.
Molly previously showed off the stunning nursery in a social media post, which was captioned: "The Nursery. It only took me nearly two months to find the time to take pics of Bambi’s room… a part of the house that feels like a little slice of heaven."
Going all out for Maebe - with £148 Jo Malone buys
And of course not only does Molly Mae make sure her home looks and smells fabulous at all times, but when she held her heavily anticipated Maebe pop-up event, her wealth was very clearly put on display.

Not only did she provide guests with posh-looking goody bags and made sure to splash out on a Joe and the Juice bar for guests to get their hands on refreshing drinks, but she even ensured the room was decorated to perfection with pricey candles and diffusers.
A Molly-Mae fan's opinion on the Maebe range, and its prices
EVER since Molly-Mae Hague, 25, walked into the Love Island villa back in 2019, I’ve always been a mega fan.
After hearing the news that she was coming out with a fashion brand, of course I was excited.
But as much as I hate to admit it, I’m disappointed.
I understand that she’s launched Maebe as a more high class brand. I know it’s not going to be Shein quality.
But with prices varying from £35 to £140, I’m definitely not impressed.
Maebe’s “ultimate blazer” is priced at an eye-watering £140, whilst a very simple, plain white tee is a whopping £35.
Not only this, but the “contour popper top” is £50, and a seemingly boring white shirt will set you back a whopping £65.
And if that wasn’t bad enough, £90 for a pair of jeans? I understand paying £50 for a pair of good quality denims, but £90?!
That’s incredibly steep considering you can get Levi’s, a well-established brand that’s been going for donkey years, for just a tenner more.
So, will I be buying anything from Maebe? The only thing I can say to that is Maebe (definitely) not.

To ensure her luxury event left fans impressed, Molly Mae, who recently found herself at the heart of BBL rumours, organised for the venue to be decorated with £148 Jo Malone diffusers.
She also had countless boxes containing £100 Jo Malone ceramic candles.
Opening up about organising the event, Molly Mae shared: “A lot more goes into something like this than I could have ever anticipated.
“It’s too much to even comprehend how much you have to sort. I just hope it all comes together.
“Anything that we’re doing I want it to be perfect.”

And just moments before the start of the big event, whilst on the phone, the business owner confessed: “It’s not big candles at all, there’s only mini candles.
“I really wanted big townhouse ones, at least one on each table.”
