The second season of Netflix's sensational dating show Love Is Blind premiered on the streaming platform in February this year. This follow-up installment of the Chris Coelen reality show was filled with lots of dramatic -- even awkward -- moments.
All in all, it made for a very entertaining Season 2, with the show already renewed for a third, fourth and fifth seasons. The upcoming season of Love Is Blind was filmed back-to-back with the one that just aired.
Dozens of couples have already participated in the show, which has been attracting people from different walks of life. According to multiple reports, participants of Love Is Blind are paid little to nothing to appear on the show.
One source close to the program was recently quoted saying that the cast members are 'truly in to find love.' That being said, there are those who have been on the show who boast an impressive amount of wealth.
Season 1 alone boasted a number of millionaires, and that count seems to have actually gone up in the second round. Out of a number of seven-figure participants, Jarrette Jones is said to be the wealthiest, with a reported net worth of $2.5 million.
How Did Jarrette Jones Amass His $2.5 Million Net Worth?
Jarrette Jones was born on November 6, 1989, which made him 32 years old at the time he was taking part in Love Is Blind. He is a part of only four couples who have ended up together on the show, and only two from the second season.
Jones met his partner Iyanna McNeely on the show, and they got married in June 2021, during the filming for Season 2. The couple have remained together to date. McNeely herself is estimated to have a net worth of about $500,000.
In the cast descriptions, Jones is mentioned as a project manager, which is the line of work he has done for the entirety of his career - and therefore how he has amassed his significant net worth.
The Chicago resident studied Business Administration and Management, as well as Human Resource Management from Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan. He joined the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association in Illinois while still in college, and continued there after graduating.
Jones is also said to have worked as a podcast host, sneaker dealer and barber.
Multiple 'Love Is Blind' Cast Members Are Worth Around $2 Million
While Jarrette Jones takes home the trophy for the cast member of Love Is Blind with the highest net worth, there is a good number of his peers who are not too far behind. Danielle Ruhl and Nick Thompson are the other couple who got married in Season 2.
Like Jones and McNeely, their relationship has also withstood the test of time so far. In his bio on Instagram, Thompson describes himself as a humanist and activist. He also gives a shoutout to his love for the three Chicago NFL, NBA and MLB teams: the Chicago Bears, Bulls, and Cubs respectively.
Thompson's LinkedIn page shows that he currently works as Vice President of Product Marketing for a company called Mediafly. While his wife is estimated to be worth around $1 million, the 36-year-old is one of those who are said to have a net worth of around $2 million.
Deepti Vemptati and Mallory Zapata (split from their partners at the wedding), as well as Shaina Hurley and Jason Beaumont (split before their weddings) are all valued at around $2 million.
Lauren Speed-Hamilton Is Worth $1.5 Million
Going back to the first season of Love Is Blind, the most successful love stories on the show also appear to be the most successful in real life. As with the Season 2, only two couples managed to go all the way down the aisle.
Amber Pike and Matthew Barnett exchanged vows in November 2018. Pike memorably had high a student debt at the time when she was on the show.
With that all paid out now, she is estimated to have a net worth of around $200,000. Barnett is not too far ahead of his wife either, with a net worth of about $300,000.
The other couple who got married on the show were Cameron Hamilton and Lauren Speed, who has since hyphenated her husband's surname to her own.
29-year-old Hamilton works as a data scientist, and is valued at around $2 million. His partner - who is four years older than him - is a content creator, and has a net worth of about $1.5 million.
While those are impressive numbers, they still fall somewhat short of Jarrett Jones' $2.5 million.
Of course, it could be that these numbers aren't entirely accurate - we're strictly relying on the data out there.
