Geordie Shore rich list reveals surprise star earning the most – as cast cash in with lingerie, beauty & fitness empires
AFTER 12 years of hard partying in The Toon, Geordie Shore has called it a day.
But some stars have proven that their earning potential has lived far beyond the MTV reality show.
The current cast - who reportedly earn £1,000 a month - will film the 24th series before the format is “rested”.
A source said: “MTV chiefs have decided the time has come to call it a day on Geordie Shore."
While the cast might be left at a loose end, some former members have been very shrewd with their careers.
PR guru Ed Hopkins ranks the stars' pulling power as we dig into their very lucrative careers and estimated net worths.

Gaz Beadle, £4.9m
As an original cast member, Gaz was known as Charlotte’s on-off player boyfriend.
After leaving the show for good in 2017, he settled down with wife Emma McVey and had two kids.
His savvy investments in property mean the young family live a luxurious yet wholesome lifestyle in Leeds.
He became the owner of Pure beach club in Zante when on the series and went on to do Ex on the Beach.

Now he’s left telly behind and is an ambassador for underwear brand Stepone and is trying his hand at becoming a golf influencer.
His clothing range 11 Degrees was valued at just under £1million last year, according to Companies House.
Ed Hopkins said: “Gaz is very much up there as an OG of reality TV, along with the likes of TOWIE’s Mark Wright and MIC’s Spencer Matthews.
“Although it appears he has now taken a step back from the world of celebrity and entertainment, he has openly spoken about how it hasn't been easy to get where he is today.
“It's quite apparent from his social media, he brands himself as a happy being a father with a couple of successful businesses.
“That said he is still very much a household name and I'm sure should he wish to return to TV doors would open for him.”
Vicky Pattison, £4.2m
Vicky’s first venture outside of Geordie Shore was her hugely popular fitness DVD, 7 Day Slim.
The reality star then went on to win I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here in 2015 and she’s taken advantage of the limelight the ITV show brought.
She landed a guest panellist role on Loose Women and fronted hard-hitting BBC documentary ‘Alcohol, My Dad and Me’.
Her honest Instagram posts have helped her amass 5.2million followers.
She’s made millions from Instagram endorsements and a collaboration with body positivity underwear brand Pour Moi.
She started her own podcast The Secret To… which boasts celeb guests Kate Ferdinand, Una Healy and Mrs Hinch.
Ed said: “Vicky has certainly turned her time on reality TV into something with longevity. She is a really likeable character and actually just as nice in real life.
“Recently launching her own podcast ‘The Secret Pod’, Vicky is continuing to turn herself into a much-loved TV personality and has really become a loveable household name rather than the stereotypical Geordie Shore branded character.
“Vicky shares a lot of instagram vs reality posts which her fans are able to relate to.”
Charlotte Crosby, £2m
Charlotte has gone from party-girl to content mum and it’s all been documented on TV.
Like Vicky, she released a fitness DVD, 3 Minute Belly Blitz.
Charlotte had her own series The Charlotte Show on MTV, and is now appearing in a ten-part BBC documentary on her journey into motherhood, Charlotte in Sunderland.
She’s also presented Just the Tattoo of Us and took part in the Australian version of I’m A Celeb.
She’s gone full circle with her fitness tapes, launching app Blitz n Burn last year.
Ed said: “Pretty much grabbing every opportunity by the horns throughout her career - make-up, fitness DVDs, clothing, cosmetics, multiple books - there isn’t much that Charlotte hasn't tried and succeeded with.
“She has shared high and lows in the public eye and has worked so hard to get where she is today, I'm so pleased she has come out on top.
“I’m excited to see how her career develops now she is a mum.”
Aaron Chalmers, £1.5m
He’s come a long way from The Toon - and is set to fight Floyd Mayweather at London’s O2 tomorrow.
It’s not clear how much Aaron will make from the exhibition bout but his net worth looks set to rise.
He initially worked on an oil rig before joining Geordie Shore - then trying his hand at various reality shows like Ex on the Beach.
But he came into his own as an MMA fighter but retired from the sport in 2021.
He announced a career in boxing and is already proving his worth in the ring.
Ed said: “Aaron has taken a very different route since leaving Geordie compared to other stars of the show.
“I really admire the fact he swapped the party lifestyle to that of a professional sports person.
“With an impressive following of 2.4million on Instagram, and with the much anticipated fight coming up I'm sure he won't struggle to grab some great brand deals going forward.”
Holly Hagan, £1m
Holly originally had her sights set on a glamour modelling career, but has turned to influencer work post-Geordie Shore.
She regularly pops up on reality TV shows including Storage Hunters and Celebs on the Farm - and even wrote an autobiography.
After finding a love of weight lifting, she started her own fitness subscription plan for £250 for a six-week course.
She also earns a living through influencer work - recently posting content for Shark, Skin + Me and Think Wine Group.
Holly recently announced her pregnancy with her first child.
Ed said: “With her impressive 4.2 million Instagram followers, Holly certainly is set to make a lot of money off of partnerships via her account.
“She is keeping relevant in the public eye by using the glossy mags to keep up to date with the progress of her pregnancy.
“Her online coaching could make her a lot of money as this looks to be the new way of personal training and fitness.
"It’s great to see her using this and influencing people to have a fitter and healthier lifestyle whilst also adding to her fortune!”
Chloe Ferry, £1m
Chloe first found fame on BBC Three show Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents and was quickly snapped up by Geordie Shore.
Later, she launched herself into the beauty industry - with make-up line Chloe Ferry Cosmetics, and her own beauty salon called CM House of Aesthetics.
Her salon also offers a series of training courses in lash tinting angel nails.
Ed said: “Chloe is a much loved member of the Geordie Shore cast and has very much made a name for herself on the show by being outgoing and most definitely a character not to be missed!
“It’s great for her that off-screen she is using her love for aesthetics and body image to take the passion across into her cosmetic ranges to help further her career.”
Amelia Lily, £1m
After finding fame on X Factor in 2011, Amelia Lily pursued a music career and was even signed by Sony.
Her first single You Bring Me Joy peaked at number two in the singles charts in the UK.
Later she tried her hand at musicals, appearing in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Green Day musical American Idiot and Shrek the Musical.
In 2019 she joined the most recent cast of Geordie Shore and she hosts a BBC podcast, Inside the Music Machine.
Ed said: “I have been following Amelia's career since the X Factor days and it's been a joy to see how much success she has rightly had over the years.
“Her podcast is great and certainly worth a listen, I hope she now continues down the performing, presenting and singing route, and steers away from reality TV.”
Sophie Kasaei, £860,000
Sophie admitted at one point she was down to her last fiver as she struggled with fame and being self-employed.
But she’s turned that around with the help of a lucrative influencer career.
She’s advertised for online clothing store SHEIN, streaming service Paramount Plus, and drinks brands.
Last year she branched out into sexy subscription service Only Fans - charging over £40 for three months' of content.
Most recently she made a surprise move by joining the cast of TOWIE.
Ed said: “What I love about Sophie is that she's never changed, she has a large following which will continue to generate a vast revenue on partnerships.
“I’m intrigued to see how TOWIE will pan out.”
Nathan Henry, £823,000
Nathan joined Geordie Shore in 2015, but has made his thousands from his lucrative side hustles.
He recently competed on Channel 5’s The Challenge and guest hosts on MTV’s Catfish UK.
He also appeared on Ex on the Beach where he coupled up with ex boyfriend Declan Doyle - but the romance didn’t last.
Nathan partnered with health and wellbeing firm Forza to document his two-stone weight loss journey.
He is also an ambassador for Nova Men clothing thanks to his sculpted body.
Ed said: “Nathan is such a genuinely nice guy, and has been a joy to work with in the past.
“I think this is a big contributing factor to why his career has gone from strength to strength since leaving the show.
“Like many of the other stars he has an impressive following of 1.4million followers on Instagram, however, unlike some you can see that he is very selective over brands he works with, which I feel is so important to a personal brand.
“His presenting role in CatFish UK is a great casting and I really hope this hope this a route that he continues to explore.”
James Tindale, £600,000
After leaving the show James became a very successful personal trainer, and created his own gym called Gym Unique.
This gym then transformed to Unique Health Clubs Ltd, which he owns with his former partner Kate Thorne.
He also does online coaching where he personally trains his customers.
After his relationship with Kate broke down he returned to Geordie Shore in 2019.

Ed said: “From being branded as another Geordie ‘lad’ on the series, since growing up, he has turned things around by using his fame and his socials to be influential by promoting fitness and making the correct life decisions which is great to see.
“He did this just in time as he was in danger of maintaining that bad boy image, however, he has successfully been able to rebrand himself for the better.”
