THEY’VE watched their dads earn millions for kicking a ball around.
And now, it seems the stunning daughters of these football legends are finding novel ways to make serious cash of their own.
Ex-Chelsea star Dennis Wise’s daughter Amber strutted into Love Island’s Casa Amor this week, seemingly trying to cash in on her surname – just like Gemma Owen, daughter of Michael, did last year.
Here, brand and culture expert Nick Ede reveals just how much the kids of footie icons could earn in a year, purely by showing off their lavish lifestyles on social media.
Amber Wise – £500k
Father: Dennis Wise
At only 19 years old, and surprisingly with no current social media presence, Nick says Love Island will be “the perfect way to raise Amber’s profile and make money”.
However, she’ll need to get back on Instagram if she wants to make millions.

“I can see her successfully getting a fashion and beauty deal,” he adds.
“And, depending on how long she lasts on Love Island, bagging a hot boyfriend too, which would do wonders for business.”
Gemma Owen – £1.5m
Father: Michael Owen
Since appearing on Love Island last year, and coming second with now ex-boyfriend Luca Bish, Gemma, 20, has proven she’s a savvy businesswoman, with a whopping 1.9 million Instagram followers.
Even before she went into the villa, she had her own bikini company, OG Beachwear, which she was often seen sunbathing in on the show, and now she’s an ambassador for PrettyLittleThing too.
