Love Island power couple Olivia Buckland and Alex Bowen are rumoured to be the richest contestants to have ever emerged from the hit ITV2 dating show.

In estimates from heat magazines Rich List 2019, it is claimed the married couple have amassed a huge 4.2million fortune since leaving the sun-soaked Mallorca villa back in 2016.

Olivia, 25, and Alex, 28, have reportedly made the most money after carving out careers as mega influencers with high street shopping collaborations, TV deals, a high profile wedding and creating their own fashion label.

This year's Heat Rich List has uncovered the pair - who didn't even win the show - as the reality programme's biggest earners.

The list, which reveals an under-30 list for nine years, with the help of various company accounts and TV contracts has highlighted Alex and Olivias incredible wealth.

They were the first couple from the show to tie the knot, getting married in September 2018 and netting a reported 25,000 magazine deal.

Their lucrative wedding ceremony captured the heart of the nation as their extravagant big day was also captured with a special TV show on TLC.

The power couple then scooped another reality show with Olivia & Alex: Happily Ever After? which explores their swanky Essex home, tropical holidays and everyday life as parents to their two French bulldogs.

They've both carved out careers as social media influencers, and Olivia has walked on the catwalk and released her own clothing range.

The couple recently launched their own fashion label, Exempt Society, which is expected to earn them 950,000 in the next two years.

It's thought they both earn around 2,000 per sponsored social media post, and do at least one each a day, as well as earning big pay packets for club appearances and modelling stints.

They've also had TV presenting jobs and taken part in other reality shows.

Before soaring to fame on Love Island, Olivia worked as a sales executive in Essex while, Alex made his living as a scaffolder in Wolverhampton.

The wealthy duo are currently enduring a 50-mile hike over the world overs highest mountain range the Himalayas.

The married couple are taking part alongside Frankie Bridge and Nadia Sawalha to hike eight hours each day to raise 1m for charity CoppaFeel.

Their challenging charity hike comes after they recently celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary last month with a lavish romantic break in Santorini.
