Back in 2006 when MTV’s The Hills first aired, Heidi Montag and her husband, Spencer Pratt, rose to fame through the show. Heidi and Spencer met on the set of The Hills before they got married. By the time the couple decided to exit The Hills in its fourth season in 2010, Heidi and her husband were already making it big that's because together, they had a net worth of $10 million.

At that moment, the divorce was called off. Spencer and Heidi renewed their wedding vows in November 2010. From then on, their relationship grew stronger than ever.

Every time we’d go out to eat, we’d order $4,000 bottles of wine. Heidi was going to the mall and dropping $20,000 to $30,000 a day. We thought we were Jay-Z and Beyoncé.” Spencer confessed.

Additionally, During an interview with Bethenny in 2014, Heidi claimed that they were very generous with their money that they offered to take some of their friends on vacation. “I was giving people $15,000 checks. My friends, they were like struggling. I gave my million-dollar wardrobe to like my broke friend who wanted to be a Beverly Hills real estate agent.” Spencer added.

As funny as that sound, it seems like Heidi and Spencer have clearly learned from their past errors the hard way.

Nevertheless, all is not lost for the celebrity couple. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Heidi has a net worth of $300,000 as of 2023. Unless the numbers change, that’s the findings most outlets have reported.

From a net worth of $10 million to $300,000 sounds kind of absurd, but we’d like to think it’s better than nothing. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

As reported by Celebrity Net Worth, almost 90 percent of Heidi’s net worth was earned on her feature in Big Brother.

Additionally, according to Daily Mail, Heidi Montag made a revelation on her next venture. During an interview with The Perez Hilton Podcast, Heidi announced that she’ll be heading into the real estate industry. In the interview, Heidi said that she needed a different income. She added, “I don’t want to be waiting on TV money. We’ve spent way too much of our money.”

Heidi added to say that the moment she thought of going into real estate, Spencer assured her that he would join the bandwagon next. “Now that I’ve decided to do it, Spencer is like: "Oh, I’m going to do it, too!" I’m like: "Great, we’ll both do it."

Eventually, with this kind of changed mindset, Heidi will be able to gain back her fortune and more in no time.
