Oti, 28, forged a successful career as a professional Latin American and ballroom dancer. She went on to find fame in the UK after joining the BBC One series Strictly Come Dancing back in
2015. Since joining the show she has competed with celebrities Anthony Ogogo, Danny Mac, Jonnie Peacock, and Graeme Swann. She has also appeared in the German equivalent of the dance
competition Let's Dance. Most recently, Oti took on the role of a dance captain on the BBC show The Greatest Dancer. The ballroom professional sits on the judging panel alongside the
singer Cheryl, 35, and Glee actor and dancer Matthew Morrison, 40. Oti, who was born in Pretoria, South Africa, has won the South African Latin American Championship eight times. Earlier in
her dance career, she moved to Germany, and went on to scoop a series of accolades - including third place in World Cup Freestyle Latin in 2014. Alongside her work off-screen, Oti’s time on
TV will have no doubt seen her take home a rather large pay cheque. So, what exactly is the Strictly Come Dancing star’s net worth? In actual fact, the dancer’s net worth is yet to be
revealed. However, it’s likely that she has amassed quite a large fortune over the years. According to reports, Strictly Come Dancing professionals could earn £50,000 per year for their
appearance on the show - regardless of how many years they’ve worked on the programme. Meanwhile, the judges on the BBC One ballroom programme are said to take home even more money. The
panel - which most recently starred Shirley Ballas, Dame Darcey Bussell, Craig Revel Horwood, and Bruno Tonioli - reportedly make between £150,000 and £250,000 each series.
