Todd Chrisley

Todd Chrisley is an American television personality and businessman who became famous as the patriarch of the Chrisley family on the USA Network reality series “Chrisley Knows Best.” Born on April 6, 1969, in Georgia, Chrisley built his early career in real estate, founding Chrisley Asset Management and accumulating wealth through property investments and business ventures in the Atlanta area.

Chrisley rose to national fame when “Chrisley Knows Best” premiered on USA Network in 2014. The show followed the daily lives of the Chrisley family and became known for Todd’s sharp wit, meticulous standards, and hands-on parenting style. The series was a ratings hit and ran for multiple seasons, spawning a spinoff called “Growing Up Chrisley” featuring his children Chase and Savannah. At the height of his fame, Chrisley cultivated an image of wealth and luxury that made the show appealing to audiences.

However, Chrisley’s financial and legal troubles became public in 2019 when he and his wife Julie were indicted on federal charges including bank fraud, tax evasion, and conspiracy. In June 2022, both were found guilty on multiple counts. Todd was sentenced to 12 years in federal prison in November 2022, while Julie received a seven-year sentence. The convictions revealed that much of the family’s displayed wealth had been financed through fraudulent bank loans and tax evasion schemes.

The legal proceedings and prison sentence have had a devastating impact on Chrisley’s finances and reputation. “Chrisley Knows Best” was canceled following the convictions, and significant legal fees further eroded his wealth. As of 2026, Todd Chrisley’s net worth is estimated at approximately $1.5 million, a fraction of what it once appeared to be. He continues to serve his federal prison sentence while his legal team has pursued appeals.
