Love Island finalists' wages 'revealed' and the amount is jaw-dropping 😱
How much?!
Last updated 17th Feb 2020
Love Island returns to our TV screens this weekend with a brand new Winter edition, and we cannot wait to see the 12 new Islanders settle in to the swanky villa out in South Africa.
But, as we prepare to become obsessed with the new 2020 Islanders, what about the 2019 contestants? They've only had five months of reaping the awards (and financial benefits) of being on the UK's biggest TV show and around thirty more new people could potentially knock them off their top spot.
But according to new figures revealed by thinkmoney, they're not going to be worrying any time soon...
Find out how much the Love Island 2019 female finalists earn from sponsored posts
4. India Reynolds
She may have split up with Ovio Soko just months after leaving the villa, but India Reynolds has nothing to worry about. She's reportedly earning an estimated £192,280 per month from sponsored Instagram posts.
3. Maura Higgins
Maura Higgins got her man (Curtis Pritchard), a Boohoo clothing deal and an appearance on this year's series of Dancing On Ice. Alongside that, she's also allegedly earning an estimated £296,400 each month from Instagram posts.
2. Amber Gill
She won the show after stealing the nations' hearts and won £25,000 after splitting the prize money with her then partner Greg O'Shea. And while the pair have split, she'll be made happy by the fact she's allegedly earning an estimated cool £297,920 per month from posting on her social.
1. Molly-Mae Hague
Runner-up Molly-Mae Hague might not have taken the top spot on Love Island with her boyfriend Tommy Fury, but she's certainly taken the top spot with this alleged amount. It's been estimated she earns £399,000 from sponsored posts per month. This doesn't take into account the alleged £500,000 she reportedly got paid for her PrettyLittleThing clothing range. WOWEE.
The new thinkmoney figures revealed the average Love Island finalist could charge £17,435 per sponsored post. That's a huge increase from what the "average 18-24 year old earns."
The banking service provider says the average person their age earns just £1,655 per month in comparison.
This news comes at a good time for the newest Love Island recruits, who head into the villa on Sunday 12th January in an attempt to find 'the one'.
This year's line-up includes Rochelle Humes' sister Sophie Piper, Lewis Capaldi's ex-girlfriend Paige Turley and the show's first ever set of twins Eve and Jess Gale, who say Kylie Jenner's ex Tyga once slid into their DMs.

New host Laura Whitmore is also now on set ahead of her debut show on Sunday. Speaking to Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, Laura said, “It’s all been a bit of a whirlwind, but I’m a massive fan of the show. I need to remember I have to be the host and not a fan!”
The Irish presenter also confirmed she will be hosting Love Island; Aftersun on her own, not with her boyfriend, Love Island voice-over Iain Stirling. She added, “Aftersun is filmed in London and we need Iain here to do the voice-over, so I said I'd take one for the team and host Aftersun.”
