In 2020, she published a poetry collection titled “Swimming Lessons: Poems,” which debuted on The New York Times Best Sellers list.

Reinhart has been an outspoken advocate for mental health awareness and body positivity, regularly using her social media platform to discuss anxiety, depression, and body dysmorphia. These advocacy efforts have aligned her with brands that share similar values, leading to partnerships including a deal with CoverGirl. Her combined income from acting, writing, and endorsements has brought her estimated net worth to $6 million in 2026.
