Net worth & personal profile
Todd ChrisleyNet Worth
The 2012 bankruptcy, two 2022 money judgments, 2025 pardon, wife Julie, five children and current media work—without turning legal totals into net worth.
Todd Chrisley’s current net worth is not publicly verifiable in 2026. The widely copied −$18 million figure is not an assets-minus-liabilities estimate; it repackages a 2022 restitution judgment and ignores both a separate forfeiture judgment and the uncertain financial effect of his 2025 full pardon. The last complete public asset schedule dates to his 2012 bankruptcy.

The essentials
No current asset valuation supports a defensible personal net-worth figure. [1]
The −$18 million estimate repackages one historic judgment rather than calculating current assets minus liabilities. [2]
The 2025 warrant grants a full and unconditional pardon; public sources do not provide a later adjudication itemizing its effect on each money title. [8]
Todd Chrisley’s public financial record is unusually detailed and unusually easy to misuse. Bankruptcy schedules describe 2012. Criminal money judgments describe penalties imposed in 2022. A full presidential pardon changed the legal landscape in 2025. None of those documents is a current list of everything he owns and owes in 2026.
The revised profile therefore leaves the headline value open. It preserves the primary-source amounts as dated events and labels the unresolved legal questions instead of turning one judgment into a negative net worth. Net Worth VIP — methodology
01 / The breakthrough
Reality television built a public luxury brand
Chrisley Knows Best premiered in 2014 and ran through 2023. The series followed Todd, wife Julie and their family in Atlanta and Nashville, with expensive homes, cars and travel central to its on-screen identity. Growing Up Chrisley later followed Chase and Savannah. Associated Press — what to know about the Chrisleys
A prosecution sentencing memorandum described more than $6 million earned by Todd and Julie through entertainment ventures across several years. That is a combined historical figure, not Todd’s annual salary, show gross or retained wealth. No public contract establishes his fee for Chrisley Knows Best.

02 / Personal life
Julie, five children and an adopted granddaughter
Todd married Julie Hughes in 1996. He has two children, Lindsie and Kyle, from his first marriage to Teresa Terry, and three—Chase, Savannah and Grayson—with Julie. Todd and Julie also adopted Kyle’s daughter Chloe. Biography.com — Todd and Julie Chrisley family
Todd and Julie were held in separate federal facilities before the May 2025 pardons and releases. They subsequently appeared together in The Chrisleys: Back to Reality, The Masked Singer and their podcast. Current reporting does not support divorce or separation claims.

03 / The money story
A 2012 balance sheet cannot value him fourteen years later
The Chapter 7 schedules filed in 2012 listed $4,281,100 in assets against $49,449,801.97 in liabilities. Real property accounted for $4.211 million, with $70,100 of personal property. The filing is the most complete public balance sheet in the record, but bankruptcy discharge followed in 2015 and the case later closed. It is evidence about 2012, not 2026. 2012 Chapter 7 schedules — CourtListener RECAP
In December 2022 the criminal case produced two separate money titles: $17,270,741.57 in restitution and an equal forfeiture money judgment. A January 2024 writ sought $17,208,491.82 on the restitution side. Those amounts establish the court history before clemency; adding them to a zero asset base does not calculate net worth.

The May 2025 warrant grants a full and unconditional pardon for the offenses in the case. AP reported Chrisley’s attorney saying the couple would no longer owe restitution. The warrant itself does not separately itemize restitution or forfeiture, and the publicly reviewed docket does not contain a later adjudication explaining each monetary consequence. This profile therefore does not carry the pre-pardon titles forward as certain current debt or declare them paid.

04 / Now
Back on television, podcasting and back in court as a plaintiff
Lifetime’s eight-episode The Chrisleys: Back to Reality aired in September 2025 and covered the family’s period around the pardons and return home. In January 2026 Todd and Julie competed together as the Croissants on The Masked Singer. No reliable public source discloses their compensation for either production. Lifetime — The Chrisleys: Back to Reality · FOX Local — The Masked Singer reveal
Chrisley Confessions 2.0 remained active in 2026 with Todd, Julie and family guests. Advertising and distribution establish a commercial show, but the public feed does not disclose revenue, ownership percentages or host pay. iHeart — Chrisley Confessions 2.0
Todd and Julie also filed a federal legal-malpractice suit in June 2026 against former lawyers. A complaint records the plaintiffs’ allegations and requested relief; it is neither a judgment nor a collectible asset. The docket must not be added to net worth unless a later adjudication or settlement establishes an amount. Justia — Chrisley v. Balch & Bingham docket

Common questions
Questions, answered
What is Todd Chrisley’s net worth in 2026?
No defensible current figure is public. The last complete asset-and-liability schedule dates to 2012, while later court judgments and a 2025 pardon do not supply a current personal balance sheet.
Is Todd Chrisley worth negative $18 million?
Celebrity Net Worth publishes −$18 million, but the figure appears to relabel one restitution judgment rather than value current assets and liabilities. It also does not resolve the effect of the 2025 full pardon.
Did Todd Chrisley owe two separate $17.27 million judgments?
Yes. The court entered $17,270,741.57 in restitution and a separate forfeiture money judgment for the same amount in December 2022. They are distinct historical court titles.
Did the pardon erase Todd Chrisley’s restitution and forfeiture?
The warrant grants a full and unconditional pardon. AP reported his attorney saying restitution would no longer be owed, but the warrant does not separately itemize each money title and the reviewed public docket contains no later adjudication explaining every monetary effect. This profile does not treat the old judgments as certain current debt.
Who are Todd Chrisley’s wife and children?
He has been married to Julie Chrisley since 1996. His five biological children are Lindsie, Kyle, Chase, Savannah and Grayson; Todd and Julie also adopted Kyle’s daughter Chloe.
