Let’s be honest: when you hear the name Chloe Lewis, your brain probably does a quick search through your mental archives of The Only Way Is Essex. Did she date a guy with a tan that looked spray-painted on? Yes. Did she attend a launch party for a hair extension brand? Almost certainly. But here’s the real question that keeps us awake at night: how much actual dosh does Chloe Lewis have stashed in her gold-plated handbag?
The TOWIE Tipping Point
Chloe first graced our screens back in 2012, which in reality-TV years is basically the Jurassic era. Back then, people paid for things with cash and nobody knew what a crypto-bro was. She quickly established herself as one of the show’s most glamorous cast members, never seen without a full face of makeup and a handbag that probably cost more than my car.
But here’s the kicker: TOWIE salaries aren’t exactly Scrooge McDuck money. Rumors suggest the cast earns between £50,000 and £200,000 per series, depending on how much drama they stir up. Chloe was a solid mid-tier player—not the queen bee, but certainly not a background extra. So, that’s a decent start, but you don’t get rich just by arguing about who kissed who at a nightclub.
The Side Hustle Empire
Where Chloe really went full-on business mogul is in her side hustles. She launched a clothing line called Amelda, which sounds like a posh name for a snooty cat but is actually a legit fashion brand. She also flogs everything from teeth whitening kits to banging fitness plans on Instagram.
Must Read
Let’s pause to appreciate the sheer audacity of selling teeth whitening kits. Imagine scrolling through your feed, eating a sad slice of toast, and suddenly Chloe Lewis appears with a grin so bright it could guide ships to shore. That’s not marketing; that’s a light show. And people buy it.
Add to that a few sponsored posts for detox teas (don’t drink those, kids) and a partnership with a hair tool company, and you’ve got yourself a tidy little empire. The estimated net worth figures floating around the internet? They range from £500,000 to £1 million. But let’s be real—that’s a bit like guessing how many jellybeans are in a jar after you’ve already eaten some.
The Property Portfolio Game
One thing you notice about reality TV stars is they love a property flex. Chloe bought her own Essex flat a few years back, and let me tell you, it looked like a showroom for champagne-flavored candles. White sofas, marble everything, and a mirror you could use for figure skating practice.

Property in Essex isn’t cheap, especially if you want a place where the neighbors don’t throw kebab wrappers into your garden. So, factoring in a mortgage and a few renovations, she’s likely sitting on some serious equity. That’s the kind of wealth that doesn’t require a spray tan to be real.
The Ex‑Factor (Or: How to Monetize Heartbreak)
Let’s not forget that Chloe is famously known for dating Pete Wicks, the TOWIE heartthrob with a beard that takes more maintenance than a bonsai tree. Their split was a tabloid goldmine, and she probably earned a pretty penny from exclusive interviews. Nothing says “I’m over him” like a £5,000 tell-all in a glossy magazine.
Also, let’s talk about brand ambassadorships. Chloe has flogged everything from lingerie to vitamin supplements. If it fits in a handbag and can be photographed next to a sunset, she’s probably earned a commission. The woman could sell a cardboard box if she glued a few sequins on it.

The Surprising Truth
Here’s the part where I burst your bubble a bit: Chloe Lewis is probably not a millionaire in the “billionaire yacht party” sense. Most estimates peg her net worth at around £700,000. That’s a lot of money, sure, but it won’t buy you a private island. It will, however, buy you several hundred pairs of shoes and a lifetime supply of filter coffee.
But here’s the funny thing about celebrity net worth: it’s a complete guess. The internet loves slapping numbers on people like price tags. Chloe might have secret investments in alpaca farms or a collection of rare Pokémon cards we don’t know about. She could also be living on a credit card and praying the next sponsored post hits.
What We Can Learn From Chloe Lewis
If there’s a moral to this story, it’s that being a reality TV star is like being a professional gambler: you look flashy one day and broke the next. But Chloe has survived because she diversified her income faster than you can say “smokey eye.” She turned 15 minutes of fame into a solid decade of work.

And let’s face it: we should all be so lucky. Most of us can barely monetize our love of cheese, while she’s out here selling fitness programs to people who’ve never touched a barbell in their lives. That’s not just luck; that’s marketing genius.
So, how rich is Chloe Lewis really? She’s rich enough to never have to worry about the price of avocados. She’s rich enough to go on holiday and not ask for the Wi-Fi password (because she has a mobile data plan that costs more than my rent). But she’s not rich enough to buy a football club. In other words: she’s doing just fine, thanks.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to check eBay for a slightly used Amelda dress. For research purposes only, obviously.
