CHARLIE Brake has left the Love Island villa - but given his jet-set lifestyle, we can imagine it won't be too much of a tough pill to take.
The Sun revealed how the socialite ex-Islander comes from a VERY wealthy family - here is all you need to know...
What does Love Island's Charlie Brake do?
Charlie is a socialite who lives off his family's enormous wealth.
He says he's different to the rest of the villa because: "I don’t really have to work so I tend to do what I want, when I want."
The hunk has admitted he's not short of cash, but the other Islanders may be surprised by the Chelsea socialite's jet-set lifestyle.
Charlie regularly posts pictures of his luxury holidays across the world, taking in destinations including Bali, Thailand, Australia, Singapore, Monte Carlo and Dubai.
He also rubs shoulders with high-rollers in the casinos of Macau.
How much is Charlie's family worth?
Well, when Charlie said he "wasn't short of cash" he wasn't wrong.
His family are the founders of the Brakes catering supply company.
They sold the firm in 2002 to a US-based private equity firm for £434million.
The deal made the families of the three founding brothers over £80million apiece.
In 2016, the firm changed hands again for a staggering £2.2 billion.
