When the masks came off in The Celebrity Traitors, it wasn’t just secrets being revealed — it was serious bank balances too.
From comedians to historians (and even a former rugby bruiser), these celebs don’t need the £100k prize… they could probably fund their own castle.

When it comes to big personalities in rugby, few can match Joe Marler. And it turns out his bank balance matches his fame. Joe Marler net worth is estimated at £5.7 million, thanks to a combination of on-field success, clever off-field investments, and media ventures.
Marler made his name as a powerhouse prop for England and Harlequins, earning nearly 100 international caps and playing a key role in multiple Six Nations campaigns.
But his impact hasn’t been confined to the pitch. With his outspoken personality and charm, he’s seamlessly crossed over into television, most notably on BBC’s Celebrity Traitors, where his sharp mind and team instincts made him a fan favourite.
Off the field, Marler has leveraged his fame into lucrative partnerships. He’s worked with brands like Under Armour and StepOne, while also making strategic property investments, including holdings in Surrey. These ventures play a big part in his reported Joe Marler net worth, showing that he’s as savvy with money as he is with scrums.
Whether it’s in rugby, reality TV, or business, Marler has proven he can dominate any arena. Fans and fellow players alike watch his
4. Nick Mohammed – £10m+
You’ll know Nick Mohammed as the hilariously awkward Nathan Shelley from Ted Lasso, but off-screen, he’s a seriously savvy operator. The Leeds-born comedian, writer, and actor has built his own brand through his production company Riddikulus Ltd, which boasts over £843k in assets — including more than £650k in cash.
Mohammed’s been quietly stacking up credits in comedy for years, with standout turns in Intelligence alongside David Schwimmer and voice work in everything from Disney’s Christopher Robin to The Martian. He’s one of those rare performers who mixes family-friendly wit with razor-sharp timing.
Oh, and that company name? A nod to his Harry Potter–inspired sense of humour — Riddikulus, indeed.
3. Alan Carr - £20m+
Comedian, TV host, and national treasure Alan Carr tops the list with an estimated fortune north of £20 million — and let’s face it, no one’s surprised. From Chatty Man to RuPaul’s Drag Race UK and Interior Design Masters, Carr’s wit and warmth have made him one of the most bankable faces in British television.
The son of a professional football manager, Carr swapped the terraces for the stage, and it’s been all laughs (and luxury) ever since. His multi-million-pound deal with Channel 4 back in the day set the tone for a career that’s been as lucrative as it’s loud.
Even without a current production company on the books, the royalties, appearances, and presenting gigs just keep on rolling in. The £100k prize on The Celebrity Traitors? He could probably win that in interest before breakfast.
2. Jonathan Ross – £30 million
No surprises here — Jonathan Ross has been cashing TV cheques since before some of his Celebrity Traitors co-stars were out of school. With a career spanning over three decades, the smooth-talking presenter and film buff has built an empire worth around £30 million.
From Friday Night with Jonathan Ross on the BBC to his long-running ITV chat show and The Masked Singer judging gig, Ross is the king of keeping himself relevant. He’s dabbled in radio, film criticism, and even comic book writing — because why stop at one revenue stream when you can have six?
Known for his sharp suits, sharper wit, and a home cinema that probably costs more than the Traitors prize fund, Ross is living proof that charisma really can pay the bills.
1. Stephen Fry – £30 million+
You don’t win any prizes for guessing who tops this list. Stephen Fry — national treasure, polymath, and all-around genius — reportedly boasts a fortune north of £30 million ($40 million).
His wealth is the product of a career as rich and varied as his vocabulary. From A Bit of Fry & Laurie and QI to Jeeves and Wooster and Blackadder, Fry’s done it all. Add in blockbuster film roles, countless audiobook narrations (Harry Potter, Paddington
Despite the serious cash, Fry remains famously humble and scholarly — the sort of man who could outwit you, out-earn you, and still offer you tea and sympathy afterwards.
