Sam Thompson becomes a millionaire as I’m A Celeb winner almost doubles profits in a year and sets up company with pal
SAM Thompson is now among I’m A Celebrity’s biggest earners after officially becoming a millionaire.
The presenter won the jungle show in 2023 and has hit the jackpot after a stellar few years.
He has a whopping £955,227 cash in the bank – and paid £195,248 in corporation tax last year.
This suggests Sam made well over £1M in 2023.
Sam, who found fame on Made In Chelsea recently set up a TV production firm called Staying Relevant Productions Ltd with his friend Pete Wicks.
It couldn’t have come at a more opportune time as they recently faked an argument in the street and Sam sparked rumours he’s on the brink of a split with Love Islander Zara McDermott, 27.
She was pictured sobbing last week and yelling into her mobile.
The couple were then spotted getting out of a taxi together after doing errands, which seemed to shut down reports their relationship is in trouble.
Sam’s story is not one of rags to riches, as he lives in a £2million London townhouse next door to sister Louis Thompson who is now a mental health advocate.
She starred on Made In Chelsea first and previously dated Spencer Matthews.
Louise recently penned a book called Lucky about her traumatic experience while giving birth to her son.
The siblings’ mum Karen is a property developer while Sam previously described his dad as “super posh”.
Sam was the standout star of I’m A Celebrity with fans loving his sunny attitude and friendship with boxer Tony Bellew.
Winning I’m A Celeb offered Sam a huge career boost, as he bagged roles presenting competition segments and showbiz news on ITV.
He was reportedly a hefty some to appear on the show. Sam is also a contributing presenter on Love Island: Aftersun and regularly joins presenter Maya Jama on the panel discussing gossip from the villa.
