The winning couple on [Love Island](http://Love Island 2020: cast, start date, final and who's hosting) will walk away with a £50,000 prize, with the receiver of the winning famous golden envelope left to decide whether to keep all of the money or split it with their partner.

To date, no one has decided to take the money and run – which would certainly add a cruel twist and make for interesting TV if they did. Cue evil laugh.

It’s been widely reported that islanders receive just £200 a week for being on the show, which works out at a measly £2.50 an hour for 24/7 entertainment.

The sum is low, but apparently enough to cover outside costs such as rent and bills while the contestants languish in luxury.

All of the stars on the show can expect to make a ton of cash through personal appearances and product endorsements when they leave the villa, but obviously standing out from the crowd and staying on the show for as long as possible is key.

Social media is where a chunk of readies can be made for the right person – but who is sitting on a golden egg this year and could be set to make £2,500 per post?

According to The Telegraph, Nas Majeed is the most popular guy and Shaughna Phillips the most popular gal.

Hot on his heels (at the moment) is Callum Jones, then Finn Tapp, Luke Trottman, Mike Boateng and finally Luke Mabbott.

Shaughna is closely followed by Demi Jones, then Paige Turley, Siannese Fudge, Jess Gale and last, but not least, Rebecca Gormley.

Obviously, things change on a daily basis and contestant popularity can waver – especially with the introduction of 12 brand new sexy singles – but based on these odds, winners or not, Shaughna, Callum, Demi and Nas could be sitting pretty after the show’s finale.
