Like most reality dating shows, Netflix’s Love is Blind is premised on the pursuit of true love. That said, one can’t argue that its success rate on that front is tenuous, with only two out of the dozen couplings spawned by the show still standing. However, finding true love might not be the only reason to sign up for the iconic reality dating show.
While true love might have eluded some season one hopefuls, the notoriety gained from the show seems to have paid off quite handsomely. Most of the debut season’s cast members are making a comfortable living from brand endorsements and sponsorship deals, while others have amassed sizeable fortunes from landing book deals and running successful podcasts/YouTube channels. Here’s a run-down of the biggest names from season one and their current net worths.
10 Cameron Hamilton ($2 Million)
Cameron Hamilton is by far the wealthiest Love is Blind alum so far. Before landing a spot on the show, Cameron was making a sizable living as a data science consultant for Weill Cornell Medicine.
After the show wrapped, the 32-year-old and his wife, Lauren Speed, started a YouTube channel (Hangin’ with the Hamiltons) and published a book (Leap of Faith: Finding Love the Modern Way) together. These ventures, combined with a well-paying day job, have inflated Cameron’s net worth to a whopping $2 million.
9 Lauren Speed-Hamilton ($1.5 Million)
Lauren Speed-Hamilton’s net worth has also grown exponentially since her time on Love is Blind lapsed. The 34-year-old has been making serious cash from the joint ventures with her husband.
In addition, Lauren has leveraged her reality TV fame and sizable social media following to land lucrative brand endorsement and sponsorship deals. The Georgia native also owns her own multimedia company and co-hosts the MTV dating show, Match Me If You Can.
8 Damian Powers ($1 Million)
Although his romance with Giannina Gibelli did not work out, Damian Powers is doing quite well in the financial front. The 31-year-old leverages his massive social media following to attract lucrative sponsorship deals, primarily from health and fitness brands.
Damian also works with Brawl for a Cause, a non-profit organization “dedicated to training, equipping and inspiring everyday people to literally fight for what they believe in.”
7 Kenny Barnes ($1 Million)
Before getting cast on Love is Blind, Kenny Barnes was working as an architectural and lighting consultant at TEAM Lighting. After his time on the show, Barnes gained close to half a million followers on Instagram, which could come in quite handy when negotiating sponsorship deals.
Nonetheless, reality TV fame has not significantly altered the 30-year-old’s net worth. Although Barnes occasionally takes sponsorship deals, most of his income comes from his day job.
6 Giannina Gibelli ($500k)
Giannina Gibelli has amassed a sizable net worth since starring in Love is Blind. The 29-year-old has a massive social media following (2 million on Instagram), and most likely attracts hefty paychecks from paid partnerships.
Giannina also owns clothing and accessories line, which might turn out to be a huge moneymaker down the line.
5 Mark Cuevas ($500k)
Despite being one of the youngest cast members on Love is Blind season one, Mark Cueva’s net worth is anything but diminutive. The 27-year-old earns a comfortable living from working as a personal trainer at Solcioty Fitness.
Mark is also the founder and CEO of META Training Athletics, a fitness company dedicated to providing healthy and realistic fitness solutions.
4 Jessica Batten ($400k)
Jessica Batten is one in a handful of Love is Blind season one cast members who were already making a comfortable living before starring in the show.
The 38-year-old was making a six-figure salary working as a regional manager at an Atlanta-based company. Jessica also gained a substantial social media following after Love is Blind wrapped and regularly does sponsored posts.
3 Matt Barnett ($300k)
Matt Barnett is one of the few Love is Blind alum who found both reality TV fame and true love after starring in the show. Before Love is Blind, Barnett was working as a project manager at an Atlantan construction company.
The 27-year-old is currently working with a mechanical construction company based in Roswell, Georgia as a project manager. Matt has also garnered a substantial following on Instagram (1.2 million) and is well on his way to becoming a full-fledged influencer.
2 Kelly Chase ($300k)
Kelly Chase has launched several money-making ventures since Love is Blind wrapped. The 33-year-old is currently juggling working as a health, business, and mindset coach, running her company, Goddess Magic, and hosting her podcast ChaseLife with Kelly.
Kelly is also earning a substantial income from partnering with lucrative brands like Fabletics and Bellesa.
1 Amber Pike ($200k)
Reality TV stardom has certainly been a godsend for former tank mechanic Amber Pike. Before signing up for the show, Amber had accumulated a staggering $200k in student loan debt.
After the show wrapped, Amber gained a massive social media following, which went a long way in landing lucrative sponsorship deals and paid partnerships. As a result, the 27-year-old was able to clear her massive debt and build her net worth to a healthy $200k.
