‘Oh you rich rich’: People are only just realising Harry from Love Island is secretly minted

The swimming pool in his back garden? I see you


People are only just realising Harry Cooksley from Love Island 2025 is mega rich. Like, seriously minted. He kept this one quiet!

After eight weeks in the villa, the Love Island 2025 finalists are returning to normal life and their homes. Harry went straight to TikTok to share a thank you message for everyone who supported him.

“I just wanted to take a second to come on here and say thank you so much for all of the support it’s been the ride of a lifetime,” he said. “I’ve loved every single minute of it. I’m so appreciative for all of the support through the ups and downs. I’m very excited for the future, walking out the villa with Shakira. Stay tuned for what is next.”

Whilst the message was lovely, everyone is very distracted by one thing. The incredible background. Harry’s garden literally looks like that of a stately home, with perfectly mowed lawns and landscaping. There’s also no avoiding the fact he has a huge swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers. Casually.

“Oh Harry you rich rich,” one person said. “I see that garden haha.” Another added: “Why is everyone who goes into Love Island already rich lol.”

So, is Harry from Love Island actually really rich?

Right, let’s see if Harry actually is minted. Ahead of the show, Harry was a full time footballer. He is believed to be the highest earner of all the Love Island 2025 cast members.

In the UK, being a semi pro footballer comes with an average salary of £7k per week. What’s more, his football team has also hinted that’s a pretty accurate figure for how much Harry earns. “Seven grand a week goes on Cooksley, the others play for nothing,” his manager said in one TikTok. That would earn him a staggering £300k a year. Plus, he also works as a gold trader, meaning even more income.

Harry is from Guildford, in Surrey. I don’t think many people will need to be told, but Guildford is a very affluent town, and houses like those in his TikTok video are everywhere. Guildford has some of the richest neighbourhoods in the UK, where residents have some of the highest disposable incomes. So yeah, Harry is probably used to the good life.

Oh, and let’s not forget he spent an estimated £10k on cosmetic work before the villa. Yeah, that too.
