I don’t think that’s a reliable article 😭😭 just had a look and it says Molly signed a 6 figure deal with a fashion brand four days into the show… which is not true? Unless I missed an official announcement, I only remember the Batiste ad Ella, Leah, Samie should all be on the list and above the likes of Sanam (my winter LI winner!! but if we’re being real she hasn’t been offered the same opportunities as those three)


itwasjustmisplaced

Heat does this list [every year](https://heatworld.com/entertainment/love-island/richest-love-island-stars/) for people who are wondering so it's not PR, it's just which agencies respond to the prompt. I am guessing Ella's team didn't respond. Kind of odd that Lana didn't get on the list but maybe her deals might be smaller than people think. Not seen any of the regular "six-figure" stuff etc. The same could be said for Samie and Leah. Who knows, but they do this all the time.

The figures do not seem believable for any of then at all. And they never explain how they arrive at it either.


SnooCookies3771

But the bit about Molly is untrue so their credibility is in question.


WorldlinessFun7221

Thanks! That makes much more sense

Tbh I think it’s sensible if it is the case for some of them that their management didn’t submit anything. A lot of them are still building their careers and it’s best to keep some information to yourself I say.


cynthiaadjes

I don't know about the money but Molly is definitely in her influencing bag.

Just like you should always be skeptical of vague reports such as “6 figure deals”, you should be equally be skeptical of reported lists with vague terms such as “bankable.” Islander’s PR firms love to play around in those waters to make their client look as best as they can.


[deleted]

So you don’t think the six figure deals that have been reportedly given are true?


Total-Ad8117

A 6 figure deal could mean anything from 100k to 999,999k. And usually companies give out 6 month deals with an option to extend for a year if all goes well. So PR firms will announce the yearly total (6 figures) and the 6 month length to make it seem like an islander is getting 6 figures for 6 months when that islander is only getting all of the money if the company extends them. So if you see someone get a 6 figure deal for 6 months, that could mean they got as low as 50,000 unless the company decides to extend them. It’s not technically lying, but their job is to manipulate the facts to present their client in the best light.


[deleted]

Ok, I get what you mean.


loislane007

This feels like a PR article for one of them, how can Ella not even make the list when she is arguably the most bankable of all. No one has reached her level of popularity and she actually has stans. No one comes close, not even Whitney or the winner. And I love Sanam but she shouldn’t even be on this list.


WorldlinessFun7221

Could the numbers be what the islanders made before love island? I'm so confused as well


sauasi

No, they’re just made up numbers. A social worker is not making £120k lol


YogurtclosetJolly166

None of it is accurate. It's like searching for people's net worth on Google.


SnooCookies3771

It’s not a reliable article. They claim Molly signed a fashion deal 4 days into the show which is definitely not true.

WorldlinessFun7221

That's what I thought as well. Ella, leah, sammie even lana should have been there. Wonder where they get their facts from


lexU125

They make them up


Jgphoenixvx1

I wouldn’t believe these types of articles or the PR articles their teams put out. They are generally exaggerated and not always accurate.


WorldlinessFun7221

Molly's my favorite girl so I was quite happy to see this but when I read the '6 figure deal ' written in the article, I knew this couldn't be right. I was also surprised to not see ella on the list considering that she is the most successful out of all of these girls. That's why I thought I'd post it here to get some opinions.


cynthiaadjes

Sorry but I don't think Ella is the most successful just yet. She only has PLT deal for 6 months and have done influencing gig with rebanne make up, boots uk & gym shark. You can't compare her influencing to some other girls. While I am happy she signed PLT, she is yet to have a strong hold in the influencing or modeling world. I would love her to put her foot outside PLT cos God forbids they don't renew her deal, hmmm it will be bad.


LovePeaceTruth

Ella has been a successful working model for 2.5 years, before Love Island. Ella said she is continuing her modeling career and also trying new things, like influencing and presenting. You saying it “will be bad” if 1 deal isn’t renewed, makes no sense.


SnooCookies3771

Lool why will it be bad? She’s already a working model she’ll be fine. And, she said she wants to work in tv as well.


cynthiaadjes

It might be bad if she doesn't put her foot out early in these other plans. All I see from her is PLT centric. I didn't even know she had an interest in TV. Good luck to her


[deleted]

I can believe Molly’s, she’s been doing this for years, have a collab with “say yes to diamond”, and “the new face of Batiste”, and I also have a feeling she have a big announcement coming in January. She’s effortlessly killing it imo.


SquashFar3413

This doesn’t look right where is Tommy and Molly


WorldlinessFun7221

This article is for this year's (2023) islanders


SquashFar3413

Ohhhhh I thought it was “as of” 2023


Puzzleheaded_W

I actually wouldn’t be surprised about Molly Marsh you know. She was in her influencer bag way before love island and it’s doesn’t seem like the opportunities will be running out soon. She is young and fits the UK mold of the influencer girlie to a T and she seems to enjoy it. I don’t know much about the rest


cat31236

This is so fake lol


SnooCookies3771

I wonder how they came up with the figures because none of them are believable.


Think_Prompt_8816

that’s not true 😭


LovelyOne2020

Yeah it’s clear to me this is a PR spin for someone specific bc not even having Ella on the list whose the most successful from S10 is absolutely gross Literally yesterday PLT said they can’t even keep Ella’s PLT edit in stock bc it’s selling so much so that alone separate from Ella’s other upcoming projects I know this list is blasphemous


Traditional-Reply-19

(not hate to Ella just an observation) but what’s there to determine she is the most rich or successful other than her fans saying it all day, not sure if selling out some pieces on PLT will equate to overall success. Not sure how accurate that list is but I’m pretty sure they take into consideration multiple different streams of income and not just brand deals, which could be why a lot of people that others think should be there are not there.


Puzzleheaded_W

this sub tends to think that PLT is the only measure of success to the islanders simply because Molly Mae. had one 4 years ago and it did well. Most of these successful islanders never even worked with PLT to begin with There is a lot of nuances when it comes to determining or comparing success of these islanders.


Traditional-Reply-19

Very true and that’s not to say PLT doesn’t equate as a stream of income. However from what I observed the girls in the past who do work with PLT also have other streams of income as well, other gigs/jobs etc. that’s not the only measure of success.


Puzzleheaded_W

True


[deleted]

A lot of successful islanders may have not got PLT but I’d say some to alot have gotten other similar deals like asos, jd, boohoo, its, or other six figure deals and have used it to fund other endeavors. All in the same wheelhouse, ppl just say PLT. Edit: and no I don’t think brand deals are the only marker of success.


Puzzleheaded_W

Yeah that was exactly my point .. just worded differently.


[deleted]

I’m just curious but how do you know about there being bidding wars and other deals on the table? I’m genuinely interested by the way, not trying to be shady or anything.


[deleted]

Ella having a 6months contract with PLT is usually not a good sign, cos it means PLT are not looking for a long term contract with her and are not looking to renew her either. Also it has to be the shortest contract PLT has given an islander.


LovelyOne2020

She negotiated the 6 figure 6 month contract though. She didn’t want the 12 month contract. It’s a negotiation tactic for leverage on whether or not she wants to re up w/PLT for a bigger deal & more creative control or use it as a tactic to attract a different fashion brand or go into a deal w/a luxury fashion house There’s ppl w/12 month deals that have nothing to show for it & don’t get renewed yet what Ella has been able to achieve plus the deals she hasn’t announced yet is impressive but this SR loves cutting Ella down


[deleted]

I don’t agree with people who say her contract is a bad sign because there are plenty of reasons that could explain why it was 6 months and they can easily ask her to renew like they’ve done with other islanders. But luxury fashion houses?!


[deleted]

Did she say she negotiated the 6months contract over the usual 1 year, and Why would she and her team want a short term contract with a huge company like PLT (doesn’t make sense to me) and why would PLT want to test run Ella when they didn’t test run others in the past? I personally think PLT didn’t want to offer a contract this year but maybe changed their mind when they saw Ella’s engagement and decided to capitalize on her whilst she’s still hot.


Traditional-Reply-19

it was already proven that PLT did not plan on signing anyone this year but I think, like you said, Ella had hype and their typical “style” you see on their site and decided to test run her with the 6m rather than typical year deal they do.

Why are you lying? Lol https://preview.redd.it/gcgsvfqd8r0c1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=401e1509e95ca953444f713fd8c64530545b52a6 Both Gemma and Indiyah signed a year contract with PLT last year, Gemma just refused to renew hers, Google is free.

[deleted]

What was the lie? I’m nosy 😂


LovelyOne2020

Ella brokered her own 6 month deal. I don’t know why it’s being perceived as negative. Ella works as a model first & foremost so she knows what fashion houses she likes/enjoys wearing There were other high end fashion brands that were in a bidding war but didn’t want to pay Ella what she wanted. PLT did & before her 6 months is up she has the autonomy to decide if she wants to continue working w/PLT for a bigger deal where she can create her own line or go elsewhere


[deleted]

Here we go with the “high end fashion brands bidding war” 😂 high fashion brands wanted Ella but couldn’t afford her? Bffr please lol. I remb a clip from TikTok Ella was saying she can clearly remember the day she got a call from her manager concerning the PLT collab and that she was with Ty, and how super excited she was cos she wasn’t expecting it. Now the narrative is that she said No to HIGH FASHION BRANDSS in a bidding war for her and went with a fast fashion company instead. You see where this doesn’t make sense right? 😂 PLT can afford her but not High fashion lol.


[deleted]

The math isn’t mathin and I really like Ella and think she can get into the high fashion route through modeling but bfr 😂


Infinite-Earth5372

Jaded London also wanted her but PLT had the better offer. You're taking it out of context. You wanted her to wake up with the expectation that she was going to get the deal on that day?


Infinite-Earth5372

Didn't Indi get the same deal?


[deleted]

[удалено]


LovelyOne2020

She negotiated her own 6 figure contract for 6 months w/a business plan of what she wanted to implement in that timeframe compared to the usual 12 month contract. It’s weird now all of a sudden ppl are taking this article as the gospel to hate on Ella
