I'm A Celebrity's 2024 rich list is revealed

With less than two weeks to go until the new series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! hits screens, attention has turned to this year's star-studded lineup.

This series is set to be the most star-studded yet, with big names including Coleen Rooney, Oti Mabuse, Maura Higgins and Danny Jones heading Down Under.

But while this year's stars are no doubt being paid a pretty penny by ITV bosses, some of them boast huge fortunes already, thanks an array of career successes, brand deals and TV work.

It hasn't been smooth sailing, with one star admitting they fell victim to a fraudster, while another won a legal battle in a bid to cash in on music royalties.

So, as I'm A Celeb fans count down to the new series, MailOnline takes a look at how their fortunes stack up, and who boasts the biggest bank balance...

Coleen Rooney

As one of the UK's most recognisable WAGs, it's no surprise that Coleen is one of the riches names in this year's I'm A Celeb lineup.

Married to former England star Wayne, the mother-of-four is reportedly being paid an eye-watering £1.5 million salary, the most ever given to a star in the show's history.

Coleen and Wayne boast an enormous £200 million fortune between them, with the former contributing £19 million to their wealth.

The Liverpool-born WAG has also had an extensive TV career that dates back to 2006, and in 2008, she starred in her own series, Coleen's Real Women.

Coleen has also produced a bestselling exercise video, and was previously paid £3million to front a fashion campaign by George at Asda and has published several books, including her autobiography Welcome to My World in 2007.

Following her Wagatha Christie libel trial in 2022, it was also revealed that Rebekah Vardy would have to pay 90 per cent of Coleen's legal costs, said to be up to £1.5million.

In 2019, Coleen publicly accused Rebekah of leaking information from her private Instagram account to the media, which she denied, before suing for defamation.

After a well-publicised legal battle, the judge sided with Coleen and ordered Rebekah to pay a large part of her legal bills.

Danny Jones

When Danny heads into the jungle later this month, he will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of his bandmate Dougie Poynter, who won the show back in 2011.
