But how did Jamie make all his money? Here, we take a look at the star's net worth...
Family
He grew up in a lavish flat on King's Road (DAILY MIRROR)Jamie's father Nicholas Laing and his mother Penny Baines have been married for over thirty years.
The reality star and his siblings were raised in a lavish four-bedroom flat in the expensive area of King's Road.
As many fans can tell, Jamie wasn't short on money before joining Made In Chelsea over 10 years ago.
His great-great-grandfather, Sir Alexander Grant, invented the digestive biscuit in 1892.
Robert McVitie was the company founder but died without an heir, leaving Sir Alexander as the chairman and managing director.
Sir Alexander left the successful company to Jamie's great uncle Hector Laing when he died in 1937.
It has been reported that Jamie's dad, Nicholas, sold his shares in the company in the 90s.

Speaking to The Mirror, he once said: "I’m not heir to anything. People always talk about this, I don’t know where this has come from.

"I think at the beginning of Made in Chelsea, it was all about affluent people and it was a nice story for them. It is true my great-grandfather started McVitie’s, so it was a nice 'in'."
He went on to explain that he never received a penny from the company and said the family sold it long ago.
"We sold the company a long time ago, but I don’t know where that money went. I haven’t seen any of it. It’s pretty upsetting. I’m hoping one day I find it. I don’t even get free biscuits," he said.
