A former The Only Way Is Essex actress has made a fortune with her business, earning more than £13 million in just a few years.
Sam Faiers starred on the reality show from 2010 until 2014 before leaving to focus on her relationship with Joey Essex and deal with Crohn’s illness.
She has been on Celebrity Big Brother, Loose Women, This Morning, and Celebrity Juice in the years since.
She also released Revive Collagen, an ingestible skincare product designed to battle the effects of ageing, with packages beginning at roughly £35 and available at retailers such as Boots.
It has also earned celebrity endorsements from Oti Mabuse, Paloma Faith, and Amanda Holden, who is a brand ambassador.
It has already raked in a remarkable £13 million in only three years.
‘Sam is one savvy businesswoman. She risked it all by starting the business, especially during the uncertain times of the lockdown,’ a source has said about the huge achievement.
‘She took no external investment and built the business from the ground up with her business partner.
‘With the business being profitable from day one and set to launch across the US next month, she firmly has her eyes set on becoming the global market leader in ingestible collagen,’ they added when speaking to MailOnline.
‘Whilst she’s had a couple of business failures along the way, she’s definitely struck gold with Revive Collagen.’
Sam, the brand’s co-founder, recently flew to America to try to develop the firm further.
In July, she said on Instagram that expanding her business internationally was a “big dream come true.”
Revive Collagen presently claims to sell one box every 90 seconds and is available in over 2,000 places across the UK, including high-profile retailers like as Harrods, Boots, and Holland & Barrett, as well as Saks Fifth Avenue in the United States.
Her business partner, John Bailey, has turned Sam’s brands into a huge success, generating over £20 million from her many sponsorships and enterprises, including Revive.
Sam is also the mother of three children: Paul, seven, Rosie, five, and Edward, one, whom she shares with her partner, 35-year-old Paul Knightley.
