Jesy Nelson is an English singer and dancer who has toured the world as one quarter of the pop band, Little Mix. Little Mix was the first to win The X Factor and they have since won many awards including two Brit Awards and three MTV Europe Music Awards. When she stepped into the limelight, Jesy had to deal with cyberbullying and has opened up in the BBC Three documentary, Odd One Out. How much money has she made through her successful career?
Jesy Nelson net worth
The singer has an impressive fortune of £3 million, according to Net Worth Buzz.
Born in Romford, Jesy first started making money while working at a local bar in Essex.
She made a name for herself when she auditioned for Season 8 of The X Factor, and judges teamed her up with Jade Thirlwall, 26, Perrie Edwards, 26, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock,27.
The group signed a £1 million deal with Simon Cowell’s record label, Syco Music, and released their debut album, DNA, which charted at no.3 in the UK charts.
Following this, they released their album, Salute, which also ranked within the top ten and they began touring in the UK and the United States.
The group has released five albums in total and became the longest-reigning girl group to hold the number one album spot since the Spice Girls for their fourth album, Glory Days.
Jesy is sure to have earned a large sum of money as the same album also had the highest first week UK album sales of any band since 2016.
She will have benefited from brand deals as Little Mix had a fashion range in Primark and they have merchandise available to buy.
The group also had a limited edition make-up range, LMX, which was sold in the cosmetic store, Boots.
It was reported the girl group was worth a whopping £12 million in 2015 and it is likely Jesy has made her money from her album sales and touring.
This week, Essex-born, Mark Wright, 32, took part in the BBC show, Who Do You Think You Are?.
Through his career in TV, the star has built up a fortune of his own and has £4 million, according to Spear’s magazine.
He made a name for himself as a cast member on The Only Way is Essex and moved into presenting on shows including The Bachelor and This Morning.
