Gemma Collins has sparked fresh debate after claiming she earns more money than the UK Prime Minister, proudly sharing details of her reported earnings and wealth with fans on social media.
The former The Only Way Is Essex star, 45, took to Instagram with a confident message, encouraging followers to look up her financial success. Alongside glamorous new photos, Gemma simply wrote: “Just Google my name HUN.”
The search result she shared painted a picture of a highly lucrative career, claiming that the reality TV personality can reportedly earn as much as £75,000 for a single sponsored Instagram post. The summary also highlighted how her income streams extend beyond television, including fashion and fragrance businesses, paid endorsements, and media appearances.
According to the information Gemma reposted, her estimated net worth sits between £3 million and £4 million. It further claimed that her yearly earnings regularly exceed the Prime Minister’s salary, which is reportedly capped at around £167,000.
The post quickly attracted attention from fans, many of whom praised her success. One supporter commented: “Worth every penny.”
While the earnings claim dominated headlines, plenty of followers were equally captivated by Gemma’s appearance. Wearing a stylish white floral mini dress, the reality star received a flood of compliments.
“You look gorgeous Gemma, loving the dress,” one admirer wrote.
Another asked: “I need the dress, where is it from please?”
Others described her look as “fabulous,” while one fan affectionately crowned her the “Queen of the Jungle.”
However, Gemma’s latest social media celebration comes amid criticism surrounding her recent collaboration with the Department for Education.
The reality star appeared in a series of government-backed videos alongside Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson, encouraging young people to focus on learning and education.
In one clip, Gemma discussed historical figures such as King Richard III and urged students to pay attention in school, saying: “Whatever you’re learning, make sure you concentrate because you’re going to be taking it into your future career.”
The campaign drew criticism from some parents, who questioned the decision to use Gemma as a spokesperson given her academic background. She previously left school at 16 with a single GCSE qualification — a grade G in mathematics.
Several viewers mocked the campaign online. One parent joked: “I hadn’t thought of just saying ‘concentrate’. All will now be well.”
Another sarcastically asked: “What’s next? Joey Essex visits the Ministry of Defence?”
A third critic simply branded the videos “tone-deaf.”
Despite the backlash, Gemma appears unfazed, continuing to celebrate the success she has built over nearly two decades in the public eye. Whether fans love her confidence or critics question her claims, the self-styled GC remains one of Britain’s most talked-about reality stars.
