Harry Jowsey Reveals He Makes More Money on Brand Deals Than Reality TV

Harry Jowsey has made a name for himself as a reality TV star — but that’s no longer what pays his bills.

Jowsey, 28, opened up about his biggest TV and brand deals during the Monday, October 20, episode of the “Trading Secrets” podcast, revealing that Ex on the Beach offered him $70,000 to appear on the show.

While he turned down the offer, he remembered it being a massive paycheck. “I think they started offering me f***ing insane money. It started at like $70,000 and that was the most I’ve ever been offered for a show,” Jowsey told host Jason Tartick. “Then it got up to $180,000 or somewhere around that.”

Jowsey explained that reality TV jumpstarted his career — he first appeared on Heartbreak Island in 2018 before Too Hot to Handle in 2020 — but his branded deals is what keeps him afloat.

“Instagram, I make the most on,” Jowsey said, noting that TikTok has been “tough” recently when it comes to how much he posts and the profit he makes.

Although the reality star called Instagram the biggest money maker, he revealed Snapchat is the most consistent. One of his biggest paydays from the app came when he was competing on season 32 of Dancing With the Stars.

“I was posting so much. I think I was making $70,000 a month just on Snapchat,” Jowsey recalled, adding that one day he posted 500 stories and earned $30,000.

His biggest brand deal, however, was working with Tinder.

“They came in insane [with their offer],” Jowsey shared. “I think it was over half a ticket, closer to $600,000.”

He remembered having a six month contract with the dating app, which made him more and more money. “They kept adding more stuff on. I think it was $5 or $600,000 [in profit],” Jowsey concluded.

Jowsey hasn’t been on just one or two reality shows during his life, which is why his brand is so profitable. After Too Hot to Handle, he appeared on Match Me If You Can and the Floor Is Lava gameshow before competing on The Amazing Race Australia.

Jowsey was then a contestant on Perfect Match in 2024 and showed off his moves on Dancing With the Stars. He proceeded to launch his own podcast and was a guest on Kristin Cavallari’s Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour earlier this year.

Now, Jowsey has his own reality series, Let’s Marry Harry, which will premiere on Netflix in 2026.

In addition to the reality TV world, Jowsey made his scripted debut in Netflix’s The Wrong Paris and is set to star in Horrified.

Moving forward, Jowsey said he wants to stick with reality TV in some way, but is ready to step out from in front of the dating cameras.

“If I could produce reality shows, that’s the goal,” he told listeners on Monday, adding that he wants to keep being on “scripted shows.”
