This Is How Much Kristin Cavallari Is Really Worth

Kristin Cavallari has been a fixture on our TV screens since she was a sun-kissed teenager causing endlessly entertaining havoc in the beachfront community of Laguna Beach, California. Nowadays, the successful businesswoman and mother of three is chilling in Nashville alongside hubby and retired NFL player Jay Cutler, making a name for herself as a jewelry aficionado. 

Cavallari has gone from Laguna Beach to The Hills to Very Cavallari, all while retaining that unique energy fans loved about her from the beginning. Although we know from the MTV days that this lady came from some money, she's earned a serious nest egg for herself along the way. The stunning transformation of Kristin Cavallari details just how hard she's worked to become the boss babe she is today.

Chatting to InStyle about money last year, Kristin Cavallari revealed that transitioning from a minimum wage hostessing job to buying a BMW X5 after the second season of Laguna Beach was a major pinch-me moment. "That was a really big moment for me, especially because the car that I got when was 16 was an 11-year-old Isuzu Trooper that broke down on me all the time. I hated it, especially being in Laguna Beach where all of my friends had brand-new Mercedes. And when I was 18, I bought my first pair of Christian Louboutin shoes," Cavallari recalled fondly. 

These days, the former Hills star can buy just about any car she wants, as she's worth a whopping $3.5 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Cavallari earned her money predominantly through stints on reality television and the accompanying endorsements, minor acting roles, her two popular cookbooks, and even a shoe line with Chinese Laundry. Her biggest earner, of course, is her jewelry and home goods brand Uncommon James, which judging by what we see on Very Cavallari, is growing exponentially.
