Britain’s Top 10 Secretly Loaded TV Couples—You’ll Never Guess Who’s Worth £20 Million!

As a devoted fan, I’ve noticed an intriguing trend in the world of reality television: Shows like The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE) and Made In Chelsea have spawned a crop of affluent TV personalities. However, the true monetary influence isn’t just from their individual success; it’s when they form couples that the real financial power comes into play.

Many successful screen couples, including Richard & Judy and Eamonn & Ruth (who parted ways last year), initially gained recognition through local radio and television programs. Interestingly, a significant number of today’s wealthiest duos discovered fame, and often found their partners, in the realm of reality television.

Here, CLAUDIA CONNELL examines the impressive wealth of TV’s top ten richest couples . . .

1. Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright 

Combined wealth: £20 million 

Instagram followers: Mark 2 million; Michelle 7 million

Mark, aged 38, initially emerged on television in the reality show TOWIE back in 2010, subsequently gaining recognition through other shows like I’m A Celebrity and Strictly Come Dancing. This exposure eventually landed him a position as host of the American entertainment news program EXTRA for a span of three years.

Despite bringing in approximately £5 million from his television roles and having £1 million in endorsements with Littlewoods and Marks & Spencer, most of his wealth comes from real estate investments through his company, Chigwell Properties Ltd. He also works as a DJ for Heart FM radio station.

In my expertise, I proudly manage a diverse real estate collection in Essex that boasts an impressive value of approximately £6.5 million, which includes five lucrative rental properties. Alongside these investments, I share a stunning £3.5 million mansion nestled within the enchanting Epping Forest with my wife, Michelle, and our precious daughter, Palma.

Michelle, aged 37, gained recognition 17 years back on Coronation Street and has since appeared in various television series such as Our Girl (BBC), Brassic (Sky) and Fool Me Once (Netflix).

She brings home approximately £2 million annually from her acting gigs and partnerships with firms such as GHD, L’Oréal, and Very. The latest financial reports of her company, Rosia Promotions, reveal a substantial amount of around £3.2 million in savings.

At the age of 48, it’s thought that the cat amassed an estimated £8 million fortune throughout her 28-year television career, which spanned both the UK and the USA.

Back then, I was thrilled to be associated with the iconic haircare brand, Pantene Pro-V. Now, I’m beyond excited to represent Ella & Jo, a cosmetics brand that aligns perfectly with my style and values!
