Reality TV fans are familiar with the Chrisley family because of their long-running series Chrisley Knows Best. The show has aired for eight seasons so far and started airing in the spring of 2014. Todd and Julie are parents to Savannah, Chase, and Grayson, and Todd shares his daughter Lindsie and son Kyle with his ex-wife Teresa Terry.
Reality shows offer viewers a look at how a real family lives, as RHONJ fans love Teresa Giudice's daughters and, of course, everyone is emotional about the end of KUWTK. Viewers of Chrisley Knows Best have gotten to know the family over the years, so it's interesting to learn about their net worth.
Some Financial Trouble
While it seemed like the Chrisleys lived a lavish lifestyle on their reality series, Todd Chrisley said he spent $650 on clothing a year. This number is likely much higher based on what Todd has said on the show.
Todd Chrisley made his cash in real estate, but filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2012. According to Nicki Swift, it was a "bad business deal" that resulted in this.
The publication also notes that People reported that Todd was in $49.4 million worth of debt, as court documents showed. Todd Chrisley's net worth is -$5 million.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Todd Chrisley owns Chrisley Asset Management, and the publication explains, "In a recent court proceeding, a trustee in the bankruptcy case claims that Todd hid millions of dollars worth of assets in his wife's name. Chrisley's lawyer denies these allegations."
People reported that on the reality show Chrisley Knows Best, Todd said, "In a year, we sometimes spend $300,000 or more, just on clothing." But while he was living large, it seems like he has had financial trouble.
The List reported that Todd and Julie Chrisley were indicted in August 2019 and the charges included fraud and federal tax evasion. The state tax evasion charges were cleared in October 2019 but not the other ones.
Julie And Savannah's Net Worths
What about Todd's wife, Julie Chrisley?
According to Celebrity Net Worth, she has a net worth of $3 million, so it seems that she has been doing well.
People reported that Julie gave her husband Todd a loan of $4 million dollars. Robert Furr, Todd's attorney, told the publication of Julie's money, “She is well-off. She has her own money. This is money that she lent him over the years for his business. It’s as simple as that.”
Julie and Todd's daughter, Savannah, has a net worth of $500,000, according to The List. This is impressive. In 2017, she came out with a clothing line called Faith Over Fear, and with Sassy Cosmetics in 2019.
In an interview with People before the eighth season of the show, Savannah shared what she was opening up about in those episodes. She said, "For me, I kind of open up about my struggle with endometriosis and my mindset on that and how I start to think about kids. We go much deeper, and I’m excited for it because I feel a lot of things that we touch on are going to help so many other people. That’s just what our role is. We’ve been a platform and hopefully that helps other people in the process."
'Chrisley Knows Best'
In an interview with Pop City Life in 2016, before the fourth season premiered, Todd Chrisley shared that fans would see Chase and Savannah becoming more grown up. He said, "I’m still trying to teach a young adult. So I think that what you’re going to see coming up is … kids in transition. You’re going to see parents doing the same thing that so many parents across this country are doing when their kids leave home, which is us trying to still micromanage to a certain degree, but how much we can micromanage?"
Todd also mentioned his kids having "outside influences" as they were in the dating world.
Many families have appeared on reality TV but not all kids who have had that experience will be honest about what it was like. The Chrisley siblings often give interviews where they share their feelings.
In 2020, Chase and Savannah Chrisley opened to People about being a kid on a reality TV show. Savannah said that while others would say it was awesome to have that opportunity, she felt "a lot of pressure to be perfect." She shared that pressure included "to know that mothers are allowing their daughters to follow me on social media and look up to me." She continued, "I’ve put a lot of pressure on myself in order to live this perfect life and not disappoint people."
