GK Barry’s staggering net worth as she reveals incredible story of how quick she got rich

She's arguably one of the most successful TikTok stars in the UK

While Coleen Rooney might be drawing the headlines around her mega pay for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, she’s certainly not the only star with a load of cash to their name.

With a ‘surprising secret millionaire’ in camp, there’s also GK Barry and her absolutely staggering net worth.

Real name Grace Eleanor Keeling, the 25-year-old has had an impressive rise to fame over the years since going big on TikTok back in 2020.

Going on to appear on The Fellas podcast before launching her own now mega-popular podcast, Saving Grace, she’s had her fair share of TV appearances too.

Not too long before entering the jungle for I’m A Celeb, Barry became the youngest panellist on ITV’s Loose Women.

With millions of TikTok followers and a hefty load of YouTube subscribers and Instagram fans, it’s not too surprising to hear she’s been cashing in big time.

In an old Cosmopolitan interview, Barry said: “I was making under £1,000 a month [as a barista] and brands were offering me £600 per TikTok video. Today? I’m turning down six-figure sums.”

With clothing collaborations and various appearances under her belt, it’s estimated the star’s net worth is at least £1 million – if not more.

And it’s likely to go up too, as we all know I’m A Celeb tends to lead to further possibilities for campmates.

Barry opened up about just how quickly she got rich during a recent episode when Rev. Richard Coles asked in the jungle: “Grace, did you go from working in Costas to all of a sudden being able to buy a house?”

To which she candidly responded: “Yeah.”

Clarifying her rocket rise to TikTok fame, Coles noted how she didn’t exactly build up her finances bit by bit but simply went ‘from poor to rich’.


Barry confirmed it was all ‘pretty quick’ as she explained: “I remember being like, ‘Oh, I’m making enough money to buy a new car now.’ And I remember a Porsche drove past me as I had that thought.

“And I remember thinking, ‘I could buy a Porshe and it not be an issue.’ I went to the centre, I was looking at an old one that was cheaper, but the one that I wanted was next to it and it was so nice.”

The TikTok star then rang her accountant to see if she could really go for it – and of course, she could.

“I picked it up two days later,” she added of her black Porshe with a red interior.
