It was a smart move that compounded Molly-Mae’s power as one of Britain’s most shrewd influencers for, despite the heartache of their break-up, the couple’s split has seen interest in them soar at a time they were launching new projects.
Now Molly-Mae and Tommy have been revealed as the UK’s fifth richest TV couple with a combined wealth of £13million.
She has her own clothing range, homeware and fake tan, is brand ambassador for Pretty Little Thing and has an ongoing deal with Starbucks.
This week she signed a deal worth £1million with Beauty Works while her TV show and business ventures boosted the coffers by around £6million.
Tommy, brother of Tyson Fury, is worth £3million, earns around £1.6million a fight and has a contract with M&S worth £150,000.
Even two-year-old daughter Bambi is getting in on the act, starring in a new brand campaign for Persil and Comfort, said to have netted the family seven figures.
According to Daily Mail analysis the influencer and boxer, who met on Love Island in 2019, are even richer than telly golden couple Tess Daly and Vernon Kay, estimated to be worth £11.5million.
They are pipped to fourth spot by Rochelle and Marvin Humes, worth £15.1million between them, while actress Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright take the top spot at £20million.
The influencer and boxer, both 25, broke up last August amid rumours he cheated and Tommy later admitted to struggling with booze.
Shortly after, Molly-Mae took to Instagram to announce her new fashion brand Maebe while Tommy was busy promoting his autobiography – sparking online speculation their split was all a publicity stunt.
She vehemently denied the accusation in January after The Sun exclusively revealed a photo of the pair snogging at a New Year’s party.
In March, eagle-eyed fans spotted the couple were on holiday in Dubai together – despite posting separate, strikingly similar pictures on their Instagram pages.
It’s likely that Amazon bosses behind her new Prime Video show Molly-Mae: Behind It All were keen to get an exclusive take on their big break-up.
Publicity stunt?
Speaking in January, Molly-Mae, known for her sharp business acumen, denied the split was orchestrated to earn big bucks.
She called out stunt rumours at the launch of her show saying: “I think that for me above everything else that (the speculation) has been the most frustrating part because I actually say in the documentary, I wish it was a publicity stunt because it would be a lot easier, because going through all of this with the turmoil of a breakup has been incredibly hard.
“And I think to have those comments – and I do see the comments, I see all of them – like people saying, you know, this has obviously been done for the launch of a brand or publicity stunt, that is very painful to read because it’s real life.”

Molly-Mae continued: “You know, Tommy and I have a baby together and it’s very, very real, and it’s really, it’s a really hard thing that we’ve both gone through the last six months.
“I think the documentary will clear up any questions.
“You see a real, real side to it, and it’s kind of like you’re a bit vulnerable, and like I say, I think people will be surprised by how honest we’ve been.”
Fans were blindsided when Molly Mae announced the pair had split on Instagram last summer amid claims he had cheated on a lad’s holiday in Macedonia.
Five months later The Sun’s Clemmie Moodie broke the story that the couple were back together after our exclusive images showed them sharing a kiss at a New Year’s party at the Cheshire home of Man Utd star Luke Shaw.
Most nights I would drink to get black-out drunk. I think that’s what really took its toll on me

The celebrity pair were careful not to be pictured together looking loved-up as they continued to co–parent baby Bambi – paving the way for Molly-Mae to tell all in her new show, which airs on May 9.
Cheating denial
Tommy denied cheating on his partner saying: “I think if you were going to cheat on someone you should just sit down and say, ‘I don’t love you any more’, clearly, because you want to go and pursue other people.
“When you get to that stage, I think you should just call it a day.
“If you want to go there and have affairs with women then you definitely shouldn’t be with your partner. Definitely not. And have I ever reached that point? No.”
Tommy later blamed the split on his alcohol addiction saying: “Most nights I would drink to get black-out drunk. I think that’s what really took its toll on me.”
The couple, who live in a £4.5 mansion, might be back together but there could be more drama to come.

In a trailer for her documentary, Molly-Mae’s big sister Zoe grills her on her relationship with Tommy asking: “Have you actually addressed the problems?”
The influencer replies: “One hundred per cent.”
However, Molly-Mae is also filmed saying: “Things are looking like they are heading in a good direction but by tomorrow could it all be destroyed again?”
Whatever happens in their relationship there’s no doubt that, with so much intrigue surrounding the pair, the cash will continue to pour in.
