Stephanie Pratt's Net Worth: How Much Is The Hills Star Worth?

Season 2 of "The Hills: New Beginnings" premieres on MTV May 12, but this season won't see the return of cast member Stephanie Pratt. The reality star confirmed she wasn't coming back in 2019, according to TV Line, after replying "no" to a Instagram comment asking if she'll appear on the second season. At the time, Stephanie also posted a video ranting about her former co-stars, calling estranged brother Spencer and sister-in-law Heidi Pratt "evil" and Audrina Patridge "crazy," per BuzzFeed.

Though the exact reason for her exit remains unclear, her strained relationship with her sibling and his wife may have had something to do with it. A report from Radar Online also suggested money could have played a role in her departure. According to the tabloid, the cast fought over salary differences. "It's an open secret on the set that Audrina and Mischa [Barton] are by far the highest-paid personalities on the show, clearing well over $150,000 per episode," a source said. As for the rest, it is believed they're "making a quarter or less of that fee and doing a hell of a lot more work."

It's not known what Stephanie earned for the first season of the reboot, but it was likely less than $150,000 per episode. Keep scrolling to find out how much she's really worth.

Stephanie Pratt has come a long way financially, following her history with shoplifting. In 2006, she was arrested for stealing $1,300 worth of merchandise from a Hawaiian store, according to Page Six, and pleaded guilty to second-degree theft. But despite her criminal record, Stephanie joined the cast of "The Hills" in 2007, which helped her earn quite an impressive salary. According to Gawker, by the end of Season 4, she got paid $8,000 per episode ($152,00 for the season).

In 2021, Stephanie is worth an estimated $500,000, per Celebrity Net Worth, with most of her fortune coming from her time on reality TV. Though it doesn't seem like much compared to Lauren Conrad and other "The Hills" stars, including Brody Jenner and Audrina Patridge, she has more money than her brother Spencer Pratt. He's reportedly worth $300,000 after he and his wife Heidi Pratt blew through their $10 million fortune, per CNBC.

Besides reality TV, Stephanie earned money from starting a number of businesses, including To Be Honest (a "nutritional hub") and accessories shop MeMe London (per Refinery29). She's also teamed up with the clothing line Goddiva, and based on a few Instagram posts, it also looks like she's partnered with several brands. Stephanie is also the author of "Made In Reality" and launched the podcast, "Pratt Cast," with "Bachelorette" alum Wells Adams in 2018, as per People.
