I’m A Celeb 2022 line up revealed as richest ever as we look at stars’ incredible wealth
THIS year’s I’m a Celeb line-up is the wealthiest yet with a combined fortune of over £76million.
Eighties pop star Boy George, 61, easily tops the campers’ rich list.
Royal rugby player Mike Tindall, 44, and radio DJ Chris Moyles, 48, complete the top three, with all having huge property investments alongside their earnings.
Ex-England ace Tindall, married to the King’s niece Zara, grinned as he landed in Australia as the show’s first royal.
Before going into quarantine ahead of the series, he told The Sun at the airport he’d struggle being apart from Zara and their three children with no communication.
But already focused on the show’s tricky tasks to win food, he said: “I want to win stars because I want to eat.”

Other contestants with a million or more to their names from telly fees and brand deals are Coronation Street’s Sue Cleaver, 59, Love Island’s Olivia Attwood, 31, and footie Lioness Jill Scott, 35.
A source said: “People think stars only sign up to I’m a Celebrity for the money but a lot of this year’s contestants are already rolling in it. Forget the money, they want the memories.”
Culture Club’s Boy George has an estimated fortune of £43.8million.
He recently listed his £17million North London mansion for sale, and over the years is said to have commanded as much as £1.6million for his turn on TV shows such as The Voice.
