Girls Aloud, glamorous, oozing sex appeal and talent, they are Britain’s most successful girl group ever. And thanks to a flair for business, Girls Aloud are now also one of the richest, with a total fortune of nearly £34 million.
Only last week a new money-spinning venture was announced by the girls, their own fake eyelash range. But that is just the latest in a long line of advertising deals and money-making ventures the girls have been apart of.
Since they were created by ITV’s Popstars: The Rivals, the girls have each made an estimated £3million from music sales alone – and a cool £1.8million each from advertising endorsements. And two years ago the group signed a brand advertising deal with Sunsilk worth a reported £800k each. They also netted at least £500k each from their ad campaign for new low-calorie KitKat “Senses” bar.
