Mike Thalassitis family have denied claims that he was struggling financially.
The Love Island star tragically died by suicide on 16 March, and after his funeral on 5 April, his family set up a Just Giving page for mental health charity Campaign Against Living Miserably.
Writing on the page, his aunt Francesca Goldsmid alleged that the 26-year-old had strong pipeline of promising new business ventures and financial stability enabling him more luxuries than most.
Her comments comes after Mikes friend and fellow islander Montana Brown had claimed shortly after his death that he didnt really know what to do for work and he wanted to be his own boss and he didnt know how to do that and I know he had a massive tax bill to be paid
Mike was loved by so many and had such a promising future ahead of him, shared Francesca, who launched the page.

He had a close and supportive network of friends and family, a much loved public profile, a strong pipeline of promising new business ventures and financial stability enabling him more luxuries than most.
She continued: Yet despite all this, and most importantly, deep down beneath the surface he was suffering from poor mental health – a dark depression that he kept very well hidden from even his closest friends and family.
So on the 16th March, overwhelmed and exhausted by his private battle with depression, he made the tragic decision to give up the fight by ending his own life.
Speaking on This Morning, Montana had suggested that the stress really got to him, and he kind of thought this fame wasnt what it was cracked up to be, where do I go now?
I dont know if it was a spur of the moment reason. I dont know if he had these demons he had to deal with.
Mikes body was found in a forest near his home in Essex his manager confirmed the tragic news, with police releasing a statement confirming he was found hanged in a park.
Mikes friends and family were pictured arriving at Christ Church in Southgate, North London on 5 April to pay their respects and say their final goodbyes.
