I was just wondering if anyone in the CBB house is wealthier than Gina Rio.
And by the way, have all the people who said Gina's back story is fake, been vindicated yet?

You know. I am not sure if Gina is really rich. Are the other houseguests in CBB rich? Let's discuss this.

Presumably you are having a little giraffe about Gina. Most of her claims have been debunked, though there is obviously some family money in her life.

Hard to say who is rich. Liz said that Jim told them he had owned 7 houses and lost them all through divorces. (I should think four divorces would inevitably be pretty costly). Presumably if he moved to Dubai to avoid tax, he is still in a high tax bracket though. (Which is a bit of a puzzle; he hasn't done any new work for many years, has he; and surely his royalties can't be THAT high?)

Luisa'a business status is hotly debated, but it seems certain that she has been bigging it up somewhat. Apart from anything else, owners of successful, fast-growing but very young businesses do not take 4 weeks off to do Big Brother. I suspect she would drop it like a shot if someone offered her a tv job.

Sam owns a shop doesn't she? No idea how well it is doing.

I should imagine the person who has earned the most money would be Evander, whether or not he has managed to hold on to it is another matter. I would guess not if he is doing a show like BB.

It's doubtful if any of them are rich. I think people over estimate how much money people in the public eye actually have once their career is on the slide. Dappy and Lee might not have as much money as everyone thinks. Jim has certainly lost most of his fortune.
Liz Jones might actually be the richest of the lot!

I'm wracking my feeble brain here. Off to do some googling.I've seen things on here about a few of them. Gina's supposed great wealth, or her access to parents wealth, is highly questionable as we know.

I would think that they are all personally wealthier than Gina as she sponges off her mother.

Yes, true.

She once alluded to owning cashmere knickers. The laundry implications made me feel quite faint.

Evander Holyfield is thought to have earned over 250 million dollars...although how much he still has is???...Jim will also have earned a small fortune...again how much he now has is???...Jims big money earner will have bene his tours...very profitable these days

It looks like the magazine may be out soon. We will then all be able to read about Gina's wealthy life after BB.

Lee has around £8m apparently.

Doesn't Ollie or his family come from money? I thought his Dad was some sort of property mogul?

I'd have to assume Gina's wealthier than the lot of them, given the fact that they're all in there trying to earn some cash, whilst Gina can afford to spend all day every day sitting indoors in her Nazz Collection dresses posting photo's of her latest meals on twitter.

Where did you get that figure from?

Gina is a hasbin at best who cares? & isn't there already a thread on this very subject? & why are you still interested in Gina? is Gina even her real name? I doubt it!

if Dappy has writers credits for his own and Ndubz material he will be pretty rich. Don't know who Gina.

and all those shoes from Dune if my memory serves me correctly that she posted one time. LOL!


Dune.......how de classe

I've read that figure too. I suppose it isn't surprising considering Blue is so well known in Europe and he was the first member of the band.

Is she still being talked about and, more to the point, why?!

And I'm bored to death of seeing this thread have all the people who said Gina's back story is fake, been vindicated yet - no-one cares!

Evander has earned more than 100 million dollars - I think someone said 180 million lifetime earnings - yet he went bankrupt I think??? Someone may know this.

I don't know about Luisa's wealth, but BOTS confirmed that Gina was wealthy the other day - saying she was so wealthy she lived in the Savoy. So Gina probably is the wealthier than other people in the house right now.

Lee has 8 million pounds??? Where is Blue famous besides the UK. They have no presence in the USA???

Do people need to be famous in the States before they can earn good money?

lol, the vast majority of them in there don't even have a pot to p*ss in. The ones that do have so much debt even the pot and it's contents have been leveraged.

No, absolutely not. Just asking where else they are famous. I live six months in Texas and six months in UK. Never heard of blue in the US - doubt they ever had a hit record.

Take That, Boyzone, Steps, Stereophonics and Robbie Williams proved that bands can make a lot of money without US success. But usually bands do have to break the USA to make huge money.

To have 8 million pounds left from a band that had to split the money among its members, managers, etc - they had to have massive UK sales (plus which other countries??)

According to the link above Lee Ryan is worth 8 million dollars not pounds. Evander Hollyfield is broke. Dappy is broke and in debt.
Sam Faiers along with whatever other money she's made earned £750,000 from her book. Ollie is worth 10 million dollars. Liz Jones might make money but spends more than she earns and is always in debt(according to her) Nothing to find on Luisa except she certainly seems to go for rich men! Linda is broke. Jim was declared bankrupt in 2006 by the inland revenue after having his tax bill halved to £700,000 and not meeting the agreed payments.

So the winner by a mile is Lionel Blair at 20,000,000 dollars.
How true, I have no idea.
