Jason Wahler's Net Worth: How Much Is The Hills Star Worth?
Jason Wahler made his mark as the bad boy on "Laguna Beach" and "The Hills," but before the fame, he was just your average teen in sunny California. Then, once the cameras started rolling, his life was on full display, which included plenty of drama with his costars Kristin Cavallari and Lauren Conrad.
Jason appears on the reboot of the iconic reality series, "The Hills: New Beginnings,” and is not motivated by money as some might think. He has a much more important message to share on the show. "10 or 12 years ago I went through a very public battle with addiction, you know, and for me to come back and be sober now, and to show what recovery looks like ... it's a great opportunity," he told Access Hollywood in August 2019. "[I wanted] to come back and be able to show that life in recovery is absolutely amazing and you can actually find a life that's worth living."
As the Season 2 premiere of "The Hills: New Beginnings" draws closer, fans might be wondering how much money Jason has in the bank. Keep reading for more details.
Jason Wahler's net worth is nowhere near his co-stars
Jason Wahler is worth an estimated $300,000, according to Celebrity Net Worth. In addition to his time on "Laguna Beach" and "The Hills," he's appeared on "Celebrity Rap Superstar" and "Dr. Drew's Celebrity Rehab," according to his website. Jason has been open about his sobriety journey and created Widespread Recovery, a sober living facility. He also established Speaker's In Recovery, "a speaker's bureau that brings together high profile individuals to speak out on addiction." It seems like Jason takes volunteer work seriously, and donates his time to The Prism Awards, Entertainment Industry Council, The Los Angeles Mission, and The Brent Shapiro Foundation.
Jason also contributed to The Huffington Post but hasn't written since 2018. He partners with his wife Ashley Slack on their "JAWS Diaries" YouTube series where "they navigate their new found beautiful reality in the wake of addiction, codependency and personal trauma," per its website. It's not clear if these videos are sponsored and if the couple receives any money for doing the series.
Jason has been arrested for DUIs. Lawyer and court fees can be costly and could have impacted his overall earnings. It seems that reality TV fueled Jason's addiction to drugs and alcohol, which he discussed with FOX 411. "I had everything in society the depiction was amazing — I had money; I had fame; I had cars; I had access and all this stuff," he said (via Page Six). "The entertainment side of things definitely added fuel to the fire, but addiction is a disease."
