Love Island's Wes Nelson became a millionaire at 21

From Cosmopolitan

Love Island star Wes Nelson has revealed that he became a millionaire by the age of 21. So, yeah, where do we sign up to the dating show?

"I was a millionaire by the age of 21. And that’s not being a show off or anything, but it's wise investments and understanding this life doesn’t last forever," he said.

Wes revealed that his TV appearances, including The X Factor: Celebrity and Dancing On Ice, have helped him achieve his millionaire status, adding to The Sun that he's "been lucky to have so many shows under my belt, and I’m super grateful for that".

He went on to explain that not only will he never have to work again but neither will his future kids. "I have a passive income and generational wealth, so my children, whenever they come about, they're not going to have to work again," the former Islander said. "I don’t have to work again."

The news come as Wes revealed he has also signed a record deal, with a debut single in the works. On Instagram he posted: "I am the happiest man on the planet! I have just signed my first record deal with @universalmusicgroup @emirecords 🙏🏾😆 .

"Anyone who knows me knows this is my biggest dream and I’m so f**king proud! I’d like to thank my managers @rzk_rnr and @so.empire + the Label for giving me the opportunity. I’ve got a great team around me, this is just the start! The debut single is on the way"
