Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright become the ‘richest young couple on television’

Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright have reportedly become the richest young couple on television after earning £2.6 million in the past year.

According to reports, the former Coronation Street actress’, 33, firm Rosia Promotions Limited has seen cash rise from £584,381 last year to a whopping £1,765,691.  

The company is said to have cleared £1.2 million in 2019 and has ‘£1.7 million in cash in its coffers’ with dividends, tax and costs already taken out.

Michelle quit Coronation Street in 2014, where she reportedly earned £60,000 a year, she became a millionaire just three years after leaving the cobbles.

While her husband Mark’s firm, The Wright Looks, is said to have ‘reserves of £1,134,776’, making their combined from 2019 ‘£2,637,820’ – claims The Sun.

A source told the publication: ‘Michelle works incredibly hard and the rewards have come in for her.

‘It was a massive decision for her to leave Britain’s most popular show but she knew that she could make far more cash away from the Coronation Street.

‘She had to turn down a number of lucrative deals while she was on Corrie because soap stars aren’t allowed to advertise. Now she is free to do what she wants – and she is getting some amazing acting work, too.’

MailOnline has contacted both Michelle and Mark’s representatives for comment.

It comes after it was reported earlier this month that Mark and Michelle are reportedly set to become multi-millionaires after the former TOWIE star set up his own fitness company.

The presenter is said to have registered companies Train Wright and Mysa Active on May 22.

Both businesses are reportedly documented as ‘physical well-being activities’ with Mysa Active registered as the ‘retail sale of clothing in specialised stores’, claims The Sun. 

While it appears that Mark has already planned his next business steps as he has already created a Train Wright Instagram account.

The page, which is yet to officially launch, already has 21.4K followers and is following Mark and Michelle.

Yet Mysa Active appears to still be in the works as there is no social media created for the company just yet.

Mark has been sharing his fitness workouts to Instagram during lockdown and has been joined by several famous faces, including former TOWIE co-star James Argent, Keith Lemon and Mollie King. 

The publication claims that Mark is said to be worth £9.1 million, thanks to his TOWIE days and now Heart FM work, while Michelle has a net worth of £2.7 million due to her work on Coronation Street, Our Girl and now Brassic.

The actress has also worked with clothing giants Lipsy and Very in several campaigns. 

Mark is said to have secured a £150K deal to present the Saturday Heart FM radio show.

While he reportedly made £1.1m through his real estate company, Chigwell Properties Ltd, after purchasing a home for £1,050,000 and converting it into four separate three-storey houses in 2018.  

Despite selling one of the properties, it has been claimed that two of the properties are still on the market and his sister, Jess Wright, is living in the fourth house. He is set is set to make over £5 million if he sells all the homes.

Mark also added to his net worth by working with brands Littlewoods and Matalan in another big money move.

The reality star returned to Essex last year after quitting his role as a presenter for Extra in Los Angeles. He was forced to embark in a long-distance relationship away from wife Michelle as she had filming commitments in the UK and elsewhere. 

Mark and Michelle currently live in their £2million property in Chigwell, Essex, yet last year, in October, the couple purchased a £1.3million ‘dream home’ nearby with plans to turn it into a Georgian-style mansion.
