The Richest Cast Member On Floribama Shore Might Surprise You

Resident "Floribama Shore" hottie and lothario Gus Smyrnios had success in his field before he joined the show. The MTV star was working as a model, shooting ad campaigns for huge design houses like Armani and Hugo Boss, per Greene Publishing. By the sound of it, he more or less stumbled into this line of work. He told Us Weekly, "Growing up, I never wanted to get into modeling." Alas, he ended up meeting an agent through someone he had a crush on, and his career took off.

While working as a model, Smyrnios likely took home a decent chunk of change for his efforts. Per Comparably, the median salary for a male model in the United States lands at around $49,000 a year, so make of that what you will. If fans didn't recognize Smyrnios from his fashion ads, perhaps they had seen his face on the cover of a romance novel, as that's the bulk of his modeling portfolio. Posing for romance novel covers can be quite good to a model's bank account: Fabio, the world's most famous romance novel cover model, known for his luscious locks, is worth $10 million, per Celebrity Net Worth. Should Smyrnios keep booking gigs, and continue growing out his hair, he could reach Fabio-level success in no time.
