From Alison Victoria to Hilary Farr, a look at Top 10 richest HGTV hosts
Although many HGTV stars are the real deal, the richest HGTV stars may surprise you. They were just trying to earn a living in the real estate sector before becoming celebrities. When HGTV started calling, their businesses skyrocketed, and their bank accounts soared as well.
Renovating a home is stressful, but it's nothing compared to the struggles some of these celebrities faced on their way to fame. Tarek El Moussa, the star of 'Flip or Flop,' started his start living in his mother's garage. As he told Fox News, he was so driven living in the garage that he made enough money in 120 days to buy his first million-dollar mansion at the age of 22. HGTV has made the majority of its stars rich. While you're watching the new season of HGTV's 'Celebrity IOU,' which started April 18, or waiting for the third season of 'Windy City Rehab' to air on April 21, check out this list of some of the wealthiest HGTV series we've compiled especially for you.
