What are Steve and Leanne Ford's net worth? A look at 'Home Again with the Fords' hosts' fabulous real life
When it comes to all things design and restoration, no one nails it quite like the Ford siblings. Steve and Leanne Ford are known for being able to take fixer-uppers and return them to their former glory, all while maintaining the property's charm and giving it a much-needed update. It's one of the reasons fans loved their hit HGTV home makeover show, 'Restored by the Fords.' The sibling duo always seemed so in-sync, while Leanne was the brains behind the design and aesthetics, Steve, being a carpenter and a contractor, had to skill to back up his younger sister's vision. Together, they made a formidable pair in the home makeover circuit, giving old spaces a gorgeous makeover.
And by the looks of it, the siblings are back for round 2, seeing that they're all set to star in a whole new show - 'Home Again with the Fords.'
Their new show taps into nostalgia of returning home, to spaces full of memories. And seeing that Leanne and Steve have a lifetime of those (that throwback photo is just adorable) they seem like the perfect fit to host the show. As listed on the HGTV website, the plot 'Home Again With The Fords' follows "Siblings Leanne and Steve Ford help people move back to where they grew up. These houses have a lot of love and history in their walls, and Steve and Leanne's challenge is to respect their past while updating the homes for the new generation." In this new series, Leanne and Steve will be giving their clients homes an update, all while maintaining its previous charm.
Leanne and Steve Ford have been in the design and construction field for quite a while now and they both have made a name for themselves outside the show as well, which has us wondering - what exactly is their net worth? We have the details:
What is Leanne Ford's net worth?
The younger of the Ford siblings, Leanne, is quite a celebrated figure in the world of design. Hailing from Pittsburgh, she came to be known for her immensely popular homely and all-white everything aesthetic. As per her website: "Ford gained national attention for the 1907 schoolhouse turned home that she restored and designed in her hometown. It was this first personal project where she established the “white on white” signature aesthetic she’s now known for".
Over the years, her work has been featured in publications such as Architectural Digest, Country Living, Domino, GQ, Lonny, Elle Decor, Martha Stewart, Better Homes and Gardens, Redbook, MyDomaine, Refinery 29 and the New York Times, to name a few.
Alongside her interior design work, co-hosting a TV show and her furniture collaboration with Crate and Barrel, her current net worth is roughly $2 million, as reported by StarsOffline.
What is Steve Ford's net worth?
One look at the older Ford siblings' Instagram and it's easy to see that Steve Ford is a man of many talents. So it comes as no surprise that his career is just as diverse. Back in college, he worked as a safety ranger on ski patrol for the local Seven Springs Mountain Resort. Shortly after, he began remodeling houses in his hometown. He's also tried his hand at acting and is an avid surfer, he even ran a surfer clothing boutique. Design seems to be a family talent, seeing that Ford also created visual designs for brands like American Eagle Outfitters and ModCloth and rue21. Initially, HGTV approached Leanne and her husband, Erik Allen Ford to be the host of a home makeover show. However, Allen Ford wasn't into the idea. Leanne later convinced the network that they should let her team up with a brother instead and the network caved in. This clearly paid off, seeing that 'Restored by the Fords' garnered in an average of 1.7 million viewers per episode.
Apart from this, the siblings are also published authors - they debuted their book, 'Work in Progress: Unconventional Thoughts on Designing an Extraordinary Life' in 2019. Ford's multiple talents have led him to earn a net worth of roughly $700k as reported by Starsoffline. Ford also owns a stunning bachelor pad in his hometown of Pittsburg, that was designed by Leanne. As she mentions on her website: "This is the bachelor pad that I designed for my big brother in Pittsburgh. It was fun to do such a masculine and dark space. Of course, I made him do all of the hard work. ...If only you could have seen the before!!!"
We may not know what the before photos look like, but the after ones have left us in pure awe.
