FORMER Corrie star Michelle Keegan is now sitting on a staggering £3.6m fortune after she went global with a Netflix earner.
The actress, 37, quit her role as Tina McIntyre ten years ago – and despite worrying she would struggle to find work – has gone on to be one of the most in demand stars in the country.

Books filed this week for her Rosia Promotions Ltd show she has cash in her coffers of £2.9m for her last 12 months of trading – and there is £3.6m sitting in the company accounts.
A tax bill of £306,000 shows she’s earning around £1.5m a year – or approaching £30,000 a week.
Michelle now rakes in a fortune from her TV work, modelling contracts and the clothes firm Aytee7 she runs with husband and former Towie star Mark Wright.
The Brassic actress’ biggest success to date is her part in Harlan Coben’s thriller novel, Fool Me Once, after she impressed casting bosses at streaming giant Netflix.
Seven of Coben’s best-selling books have already been turned into Netflix limited series.
And this one was the most popular yet, sitting at the top of the Netflix charts – and achieving an incredible 84.9 million total views in just 35 days.
The plot saw Michelle take on the role of Maya, a former special ops pilot, home from the war, whose husband was murdered.

And the success of the show should propel the actress into more lucrative deals from the online entertainment firm.
A showbiz insider told us: “Michelle is the complete package: a great actress, easy on the camera and a savvy businesswoman.”
As well as her acting work, Michelle has a staggering seven million followers on Instagram and can command tens of thousands of pounds for plugging products.
She has enjoyed deals with fashion firms Lipsy and Very, as well as her own fledgling firm Aytee7.
Michelle, who now lives in a custom built mega mansion with husband Mark, is also known for her work in Our Girl and has recently filmed the second series of Ten Pound Poms.
Her Sky TV show Brassic has recently landed its seventh series.
Speaking about leaving Corrie behind, Michelle told Graham Norton earlier this year: “For me it was a massive learning platform. I took a long, long time to decide to leave – it was very hard.
“And then when they told me they were killing off my character and there was no going back I thought I would never work again. My security was ripped away which made me push forward and work harder.”
