Danny Jones has become the second McFly star to win I’m A Celebrity after being crowned King of the Jungle last week.
While he won’t receive a cash prize for his achievement, he is said to have been paid between £100 and £150k for his time in the jungle.
Winning the show could also open up a host of new opportunities for the star, as it did for bandmate Dougie Poynter when he was crowned in 2011.
While Danny already has an estimated net worth of £4 million, branding expert Nick Ede predicts he could boost his earnings by £1.5 million over the next year with “advertising deals, personal appearance fees and hosting jobs “.
In doing so, he could surpass the earnings of his bandmate Tom Fletcher, who Danny previously described as the richest member.
During a chat at Jungle, Danny confessed: “Tom is loaded,” noting that the frontman had written his hit single, All About You.
So where does Danny compare to his McFly bandmates now? MailOnline takes a look at the astonishing net worth of one of Britain’s most successful pop punk bands.
I’m A Celebrity winner Danny Jones looks set to eclipse bandmate Tom Fletcher’s earnings as he joins McFly’s multi-million pound empire after winning I’m A Celeb.
LR Dougie Poynter, Tom, Danny and Harry Judd have made various fortunes.
Danny Jones – Over £4 million
While Danny may have been victorious on I’m A Celebrity, it was previously reported that he had been drafted in as a last-minute replacement for Tommy Fury, who withdrew from the line-up.
Before entering the Jungle, his net worth was said to be £4million, but with an estimated £1.5million payday ahead, he looks set to eclipse that in the coming months.
As a member of McFly, Danny amassed an impressive fortune: the band sold more than 10 million records worldwide and had seven number one singles.
He was also previously listed as a director of the now-dissolved company McBusted LLP as part of McBusted, a collaboration between McFly and Busted.
The musician, who is married to former Miss England beauty queen Georgia Horsley, is also a partner in Super Records LLP with his bandmates McFly.
The company was formed in 2008 and runs McFly’s business as a band, and last year had just £19,000 in assets.
Danny has also been a regular on TV screens in recent years, as a judge on both The Voice Kids and the adult version, where he joined his bandmate Tom as part of the show’s first coaching duo.
In February, Danny was revealed as the winner of The Masked Singer after winning over audiences dressed as Piranha.
For Danny, winning ITV’s flagship show made it a hat-trick this year after winning The Masked Singer (pictured as Piranha) and landing a spot as a judge on The Voice.
Tom Fletcher – £4 million
‘Loaded’ bandmate Tom is said to have made his fortune writing some of the band’s biggest hits, including Obviously and Five Colors in Her Hair.
The talented Tom is also behind three of the band Busted’s hits, including the No. 1 single, Crashed The Wedding, as well as the official song of the London 2012 Olympic Games, On A Rainbow.
In addition to writing songs, the father of three enjoys writing novels and has a variety of children’s books.
In 2021, Tom competed on Strictly Come Dancing with Amy Dowden, but they became the eighth couple to be eliminated from the competition.
Last year, it was revealed that Tom is working on the music for the upcoming Paddington: The Musical, which will be released in the UK next year.
As well as making excellent earnings, Tom’s wife, influencer Giovanna Fletcher, appeared on I’m A Celebrity in 2020 and won the show.

Dougie Poynter: £2.4m
While he found fame with McFly in 2004, it was Dougie’s 2011 stint on I’m a Celebrity that made him a star in his own right.
The musician narrowly took the crown with 55 percent of the vote, but took advantage of his newfound fame by launching a line of children’s novels.
Dougie also launched three clothing companies: Zookie, which has since been sold, and the now-defunct Saint Kidd and Polonius.
In addition to enjoying success with McFly and McBusted, Dougie also had a brief stint with alternative rock band INK in 2018.
While he found fame with McFly in 2004, it was Dougie’s stint on I’m A Celebrity in 2011 that made him a star in his own right, with the singer crowned King of the Jungle.
Harry Judd: £3.4 million
Days after Dougie was crowned King of the Jungle, Harry also had reason to celebrate by winning Strictly Come Dancing.
Proving his win was no fluke, Harry lifted the Glitterball again four years later when he competed in the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special.
That same year, Harry married his wife Izzy, a professional violinist reputedly worth more than £1 million.
Last year, Harry’s mother Emma also found herself in the spotlight when they teamed up for the Celebrity Race Across the World, where they finished second.
This summer, the singer enjoyed a brief stint on radio when he replaced Ronan Keating as host of Magic Radio’s Breakfast slot alongside Harriet Scott.
Just weeks after Dougie was crowned King of the Jungle, Harry was announced as the winner of Strictly Come Dancing (pictured with professional partner Aliona Vilani)
