‘Muggy’ Mike Thalassitis ‘has made over a million pounds’ since Love Island and hires big time money advisor to look after his fortune
MIKE Thalassitis is clearly no mug – as friends claim he’s made over a million since his appearance on Love Island last summer.
Insiders close to Mike claim that he’s managed to rake in a seven figure sum through club appearances, his role on Celebs Go Dating and product endorsement – and has even had to hire a big time money manager to look after his fortune.
“Mike is inundated with numerous television offers since Love Island and has been cashing in on his bad boy reputation,” an insider tells The Sun Online.
“The majority of the Love Island cast are running around getting engaged and splitting up but Mike has quietly been banking the cash making loads of Personal Appearances at nightclubs across the UK.
“He’s also secured numerous photo shoots and online promotions for men’s fashion companies.
“He even got a six figure sum for appearing on Celebs Go Dating.
“He’s made over a million pounds, he’s really raking it in.”
This week, Mike posted an Instagram Story of his dinner at top London restaurant Hakkasan, where he ate with wealth management advisor Shane Huke.
An insider tells us: “Mike might seem thick but when it comes to money he isn't muggy at all and wants to really be sensible with everything he has made off the back of Love Island.”
Over the past few months, Mike’s been paid to endorse Pretty Little Thing, modelled for BooHoo Man and promoted clothing companies Fressh Coture, Alive Denim and James Carter.
