Stacey Solomon and her partner Joe Swash are entering a new phase of life as they bid adieu to their iconic family home, Pickle Cottage.
The celebrity couple have lived in the £1,300,000 mansion situated on a sprawling Essex estate since 2021, and it has been the spot for several milestone moments, including her wedding to Joe and the birth of daughters Rose and Belle.
Fans have followed along as the 36-year-old media personality, alongside her partner, EastEnders star Joe, 44, has renovated the space, calling it their ‘dream house’.
All good things must come to an end, however, and now they have their sights set on somewhere even bigger.
‘For a little while we have always wanted to rescue more animals, grow more vegetables so we have always been thinking if there was ever a chance to get a bit more land then we would consider it,’ Stacey told fans, indicating that they had found the perfect place for their ambitions.
But a swanky new place will no doubt come with a large bill attached – so how exactly has Stacey accumulated her millions of pounds worth of wealth over the years?
How did Stacey Solomon make her fortune?
Earlier this year, The Sun reported that the media star’s firm Keymap Entertainment Ltd, which takes in cash from her media and ad deals, hit the £10.1m mark when it released its 2025 figures.
The publication outlined that £7.5m was tied up in investments while £1.6m of this was in cash. Meanwhile, Pickle Cottage was solely in Stacey’s name.
Since her career started, her net worth has ranged from £3million all the way up to £7m, with the latest estimated net worth coming at around £5m.
The star first rose to prominence after appearing on The X Factor in 2009, aged 19, where she landed a respectable third place and started her path to becoming a household name.
From there, she has grown a lucrative TV career, first appearing on I’m A Celebrity straight out of the gate in 2010, where she was crowned Queen of the Jungle – a good sign of things to come.
Other reality TV shows she has appeared in over the years include shows like The Jump and Celebrity Gogglebox.
Beyond one-off shows, she’s also jumped from regular TV gig to regular TV gig with ease over the years.
After appearing as a guest, she landed a spot as a panellist from 2016 to 2024 on ITV’s hit daytime talk show Loose Women.
That era was a veritable goldmine for the star, who also joined Celebrity Juice as a panellist in 2019 and launched her own BBC lifestyle show, Sort Your Life Out, in 2021.
Her on-screen career has come alongside a money-spinning business side as well.
The multimillionaire invested a chunk of her money into the haircare brand Rehab, buying a 33% stake in the company, which last year turned over £14.2m and is one of the fastest-growing businesses in this sector.
She’s had plenty of similar ventures over the years, from becoming the face of Iceland as far back as 2011, through to launching her own clothing brand with Primark in 2018.
Not to mention her exclusive homeware range, the At Home with Stacey Solomon collection, with George at Asda.
When she’s not investing in businesses or launching her own ranges, she’s busy writing. She’s also the Sunday Times bestselling author behind the Tap To Tide collection.
In 2025, The Sun reported that Stacey had also bought at least four properties in the first half of the 2020s, which are now understood to be worth around £6m. These were also through her firm, Keymap Entertainment.
Speaking of her success, the DIY queen and mum of five has previously said that many didn’t believe in her but she has proved them wrong.
‘One day you’ll be a teenage mum and there will be people who tell you that you’re on a road to failure, that you’re not smart enough, that you aren’t strong enough, you don’t speak well enough, you aren’t talented enough,’ she wrote in a social media post last year.
Pointing to the success of Rehab hair care, and her various other high-profile commitments, as well as a thriving family life, she continued: ‘A day like this I could never have even dreamed of growing up.
‘And so many people told me it wouldn’t be possible. Never let anyone set your limits for you. Those people couldn’t have been more wrong.’
