Since finishing third on the X Factor back in 2009, Stacey has built an impressive career for herself after raising her profile by becoming Queen of the Jungle on I’m A Celebrity in 2010.
She has since gone on to front BBC show Sort Your Life Out, made regular appearances on Loose Women and hosts a Channel 4 home improvement show, Stacey Solomon‘s Renovation Rescue.
She now has £4.3m in cash and assets for the year to the end of June 2023 – up from £2.9m in 2022.
Earlier this year it was revealed Stacey reportedly raked in more than £27K every week in 2023 as she enjoyed her most successful year to date since setting up her company in 2012.
The Sun revealed the star bagged a whopping £1,410,656 through her firm Key Map Entertainment last year.
Stacey has also collaborated with huge brands including ranges with Primark, InTheStyle, Abbot Lyon and George at Asda.
The star is also part owner of independent hair care brand REHAB, marking the first time she had ever invested her own money in a business.
‘I honestly can’t believe REHAB is now in a real life store with our products in. And it’s Harrods! This is such a huge moment for our haircare brand,’ Stacey told MailOnline.
‘We’re beyond thankful to every single person who has joined this journey with us. It’s been so special to meet some of them today at the launch. Thank you, thank you, thank you!’
A huge star on Instagram, it has also been revealed that she pockets an easy £12K for every sponsored post she shares with her 6M Instagram followers.
Working regularly with brands such as Hello Fresh, Stacey offers her followers special discount codes in return for advertising the brand.
Known for her impressive creativity and DIY skills, Stacey also published her own crafting book Tap To Tidy in 2021, which sold over 700k copies, and – after renovating her home – this was followed a year later by Tap To Tidy At Pickle Cottage.
Stacey married her EastEnders star husband Joe Swash, 42, in June 2022 and they reside at their £1.2m Essex home, affectionately named Pickle Cottage, with their three children and her two sons from previous relationships.
Stacey has also launched clothing collections with high street brand Primark

The van comes complete with a bunk bed, small dining area and an extra bed above the driver’s seat, as well as a microwave, a wardrobe and plenty of storage.
Meanwhile it has been a successful September for the star who was left speechless after she won the first award of the evening at the National Television Awards last week.
The presenter brought the first shock early in the ceremony as Sort Your Life Out beat fan-favourite Jeremy Clarkson to win the Factual Entertainment prize.
The star looked visibly shocked as her show’s name was called before she grabbed her son Zach, 16, in a sweet hug before jumping up and down with glee.
Struggling to contain her excitement, Stacey gushed: ‘It’s the hardest show ever to make and they work so, so hard – my amazing co-presenters.
‘I’m so grateful I get to do a show like this, I want to thank the families who let us into their homes. If it wasn’t for the families, who opened their hearts to us, there wouldn’t be no Sort Your Life Out.’
