Love Island’s Molly Mae and Tommy Fury surge up rich list after ‘banking £6.5m’ – as Ed Sheeran replaced in top spot

LOVE Island stars have surged up a rundown of the richest stars under 30.

No fewer than three former villa inhabitants appear this year, including the show's power couple Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury.

The pair, with estimated wealth of £6.5million, are judged to be richer even than the show's new host Maya Jama, 28, at £5.3million.

The staggering sum is thought to have come as a result of Molly's PrettyLittleThing partnership, self-tan range and haircare firm.

They hold the No26 spot in the , an annual guide to the UK and Ireland’s richest young stars.

This year marks their first appearance in the leaderboard of high-earners.

More on Molly and Tommy

The magazine explained: "A £1m PrettyLittleThing partnership (she’s also creative director on £400k a year), a self-tan range and haircare company – plus an estimated £65k per Insta post – means Molly-Mae’s the most successful Love Islander in history.

"Thanks to his boxing, partner Tommy doesn’t do too badly, either."

Former winner Amber Gill takes the No30 spot, with an estimated fortune of £4.5million.

None of this year's stars qualified for the list, though Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, 28, is thought to be the biggest earner of the class of 2022 with £1.6million.

However, the top spot this year was taken by a musician again, with Harry Styles snatching the crown from Ed Sheeran.

At 31, the Shape Of You singer is now ineligible to appear on the list.

The magazine also listed the higest-earning stars outside the US, with Kylie Jenner, 25, topping the list with £770million.

Second on the chart is Justin Bieber, 28, who has £397million.
