Here’s how much money each Love Island USA cast member makes outside the show
There are some big earners in the mix
So, at this point, pretty much everyone knows there’s a $100k prize up for grabs on Love Island USA. But, before the contestants opted for a life of fame and fortune (potentially) on the Peacock show, they all had day jobs to report to. In all fairness, they’re all bordering on influencer levels of stardom already. But, the amounts they all earn heading into the villa really vary. So, here’s how much money each Love Island USA cast member made outside the show.
Ace Greene – $461k
Ace Greene might be dividing literally everyone who watches Love Island USA with his antics.
But, there’s one thing we can all agree on, and that’s that he makes a whole lot of cash outside of the show.
Ace is a dance teacher and model who appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show.
The season seven star has his own official website that describes him as a “DJ, comedian, model, choreographer, YouTuber, and professional party host.”
Ace also has a TikTok following of 1.2 million!
He has an estimated net worth of $461,000, per Stars Unfolded.

Given his work with big fashion brands, his net worth is likely much more overall. Per Backstage, models get paid $1,500 for an Adidas photoshoot in Los Angeles.

Taylor’s talents don’t stop at striking poses. He also said on the show that he trained as a veterinarian. Given that he also said he is a cowboy who could ride a horse before he could walk, it makes sense he’d have a serious connection to animals.
Per ZipRecruiter, a male model working from Oklahoma City could earn in the region of $90,000 a year.
The site also suggests a veterinarian could have a salary over $152,000, and a model working for Louis Vuitton could rake in $107,000 annually, per Glassdoor, so Taylor could be making a lot of cash!
