Love Island's richest stars as Ekin-Su set to rake in 'mind-blowing cash'

The latest series of Love Island has come to a close, with Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti crowned the winners following eight weeks of drama and romance.

It's already been predicted that Ekin-Su could be about to make millions with endorsements and other opportunities, with some of her other co-stars likely to cash in too.

She could soon follow in the footsteps of former islanders like Molly-Mae Hague and Amber Gill, who reportedly became millionaires not long after leaving the villa.

Amid the predicted success of Ekin-Su and others, we've taken a look at some of the most successful former islanders - to give an idea of the potential opportunities.
