Chantelle is minted

Chantelle Houghton has been named as the richest non-famous Big Brother housemate since Jade Goody.

Houghton has reportedly become a millionaire since winning the show back in 2006.

According to The Sun, the reality TV star made £925,000 last year, thanks to TV appearances, her fashion magazine column and a £300,000 autobiography deal.

She also sold the coverage rights to her marriage to fellow Celebrity Big Brother contestant Samuel Preston for £600,000 to OK! magazine.

Figures compiled by Companies House, claim the star made more than £2,500 a day.

A finance expert commented: "She’s done incredibly well to maximise earnings. I don’t think any business analyst would have said she could make so much so quickly with so little business experience."

Galaxy are lining up the celeb-packed Hollywood United side to help raise their profile and draw in the crowds.
