Love Island’s Ovie Soko recently opened up about how he has been used by people before on account of his money.

His confession came after the Sidebar of Shame challenge where one headline alluded to the perception of some fans that India Reynolds is a gold digger.

In the challenge, Amber Gill read aloud the Daily Star headline: ‘LOVE ISLAND FANS ACCUSE INDIA OF ONLY LIKING OVIE TO WIN THE £50K,’

This prompted the question: what is Ovie’s net worth and what is his salary as a professional basketball player?

Here, we’ve break down the what it’s thought that the show’s most revered cast member is worth.

What is basketball player Ovie’s net worth?

According to celebrity net worth website The Squander, Ovie is one of the ‘highest paid’ basketball players in the world, with his net worth estimated at a huge $35 million (£31.4 million).

This number is supposedly made up of his basketball player’s salary, sponsorship deals and modelling salary.

This figure, however, is refuted by other sources, with Reality Titbit quoting his annual salary at £100,000 – £200,000, claiming that reports of his net worth being £35 million are ‘insanely wrong.’

All in all, no-one truly knows, however it’s worth pointing out that his net worth will likely grow after his time in the villa as a popular Islander.

What basketball team does Ovie play for?

28-year-old Ovie plays for the Great Britain team.

According to Champions League Basketball, Ovie also spent time playing for Spain’s UCAM Murcia team.

Ovie also previously played for Boulazac Basket Dordogne and Greece’s Aries Trikala team.

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
