Shona McGarty

Martin Kemp
Martin Kemp was Spandau Ballet’s brooding bassist in the 80s, with “Gold” and “True” royalties still flowing, but jumping to EastEnders as Steve Owen and reunion tours raked in millions more. His £3.2M now includes DJ sets, brain tumour documentaries, and books with brother Gary, proving nostalgia plus raw reinvention equals a bank balance that never stops growing.

Her £1.8M includes her memoir The First, academy grants, and Euros coverage, proving mastering the pitch and then the mic can make off-field fame far more lucrative than the game itself.

Her £3.5M comes from Absolutely Fabulous royalties, TED Talks, and an Oxford mindfulness master’s, showing vulnerability, wit, and late-bloomer education can turn chaos into a comedy cash machine.

His £11M fortune includes reality residuals, his MS podcast, and wellness ventures, proving leaning into your weird family brand and building your own empire can outlast the headlines.
Lisa Riley
Lisa Riley stormed Emmerdale as Mandy Dingle in 1995, banking £250K a year in residuals, then added £200K from Loose Women and £100K from body positivity books and tours. Her £4M empire grew after Strictly 2012 supercharged her fame, showing soap stardom plus self-love advocacy can turn Yorkshire grit into national treasure status and serious cash.

Tom Read Wilson
Tom Read Wilson’s posh quips on Celebs Go Dating since 2016 earn £150K a year, with another £100K from his podcast and theatre gigs after a Voice UK flop launched his brand. His £800K shows wit, charm, and even failure can be monetised if you lean into your quirks and keep the banter flowing.
