Love Island’s Alex Bowen splashes out £30k on huge new car saying ‘been thinking about this for a while’
LOVE Island star Alex Bowen is planning to splash out £30,000 on a brand new car.
The 32-year-old, who has become a multimillionaire off the back of the show, told fans he wanted to add a Ford Ranger to his vast motor collection.
Sharing a picture of the shiny vehicle, he told his followers: “Been thinking about this for a while now! I think it’s time.”
Over the years, Alex has bought a Mercedes CLS, a Mercedes GLE Coupe, a Range Rover Evoque and a Mercedes A-Class.
Alex was a scaffolder who found fame on Love Island when he coupled up with his now wife – Olivia.
The couple have since got married and welcomed their first child.
And – they’ve also racked up some serious cash thanks to their social media work and property empire.
A couple of years ago Olivia – who is thought to be worth £7.8 million on her own – revealed just how much she can make from posting online.
She said: “A good month for me back in the day would be about £1500. A good month for me… one month has been £50,000.”
As well as working with brands including Skin Republic, Avon, Coast and Primark, Olivia has scored £50k as a celebrity ambassador for Perky Pear boob tape.
In recent months, Olivia and Alex have made huge investments in their palatial five-bedroom Essex home, including adding an enormous extension, which increased its value by a cool £2m, taking it up to £4.2m, and attracted brand opportunities galore via their interiors-focused Instagram account @TheBowenHome (one of their six Insta feeds).
They bagged a five-figure deal with Glade UK, plus other endorsements for the likes of Amazon Freeview and Roku.
The power couple also earn £50k per year from two rental properties, including a three-bedroom semi-detached in Wolverhampton.
Alex meanwhile is thought to be worth £4m on his own,.
Last year, he took home £15k by releasing an edit with fashion label Threadbare.
Alex has also pocketed £150k since last summer from DJ gigs.
His fitness app and coaching business bag around £100k, and he gets £75k a year from paid-for posts, including ones for Mazda and Primark.
