Maura Higgins ranks as third most successful contestant in Love Island history with big net worth

Maura Higgins is the third most successful contestant on Love Island – amassing a net worth of more than £1m since the show.

The Longford beauty burst onto our screens in 2019, becoming one of the most popular stars of the series.

According to new research by SlotsUp, the 31-year-old remained extremely busy since the end of the series, with a net worth of £1 million and 3.5 million Instagram followers.

A successful collaboration with Beauty Works allowed her to release her own line of hair stylers and extensions, while a deal with makeup brand Inglot saw the creation of her own 34-piece collection.

But her most impressive collab to date is Ann Summers, where Maura has bagged herself a six-figure sum with the lingerie brand.

Maura has also launched her own line of fake tan, with Bellamianta Luxury Tanning, which she reportedly earned £250K along with embarking on her Dancing on Ice journey in 2020 and coming sixth, reportedly earning her £150,000.

The star's worth is estimated to have gone through the roof when she released a lingerie line with Ann Summers.

Despite all of her success, Maura Higgins has been coy about revealing just how much money she has made in the past.

She previously said life before fame had been tough.

“Before I was famous, I struggled to pay my rent," she said.

"I know what it’s like to struggle, so I would never flaunt my money. I treat my family, but I don’t splash out."

She added: "I have a good head on my shoulders."

According to the research, her pal Molly Mae Hague is the most successful Love Islander, with a calculated net worth of £14,318,037.

Despite being just 23 years old, the blonde bombshell has accumulated a staggering amount of brand deals since leaving the villa, along with 6.4 million Instagram followers.

Shortly after the show ended, she was offered a lucrative collaboration with PrettyLittleThing worth £500,000 and is now creative director for the brand.

She has since launched her own fake tanning label, ‘Filter by Molly-Mae™’, along with partnering with brands like Starbucks and Beauty Works. Reports also show that a joint appearance with boyfriend Tommy Fury can earn them up to £10,000 per event.

Her boyfriend Tommy Fury reportedly earned a net worth of around £1 million and with 4.1 million Instagram followers, the young reality star is a force to be reckoned with.

Leaving the villa presented him with a six-figure boohooMAN deal in 2019, alongside brand partnerships with McDonald’s and Disney Plus on Instagram, scoring him 26.3/100 overall.

Reports also showed that Tommy Fury TNT and Fury TNT, firms owned by Tommy and his family, earned around £2,846 a day in 2020. Before pulling out due to an illness and broken rib, Tommy was also set to earn a whopping $1.5m (£1,131,757) for his fight with controversial YouTube star Jake Paul.
