Introduction

Heidi Montag is an American reality television personality with an estimated net worth of $300 Thousand.

The Hills Salary

According to reports, Heidi Montag earned an estimated $30,000 per episode in the earlier seasons of The Hills, which would have equated to $300,000 for season one. Towards the final seasons, this figure increased to approximately $100,000 per episode, equating to $2 million for season five.

It was reported that the cast received several pay bumps over time, but the exact timeline and sums have never been confirmed. Between 2006 and 2010, Montag appeared in 101 episodes of the original show, and her total earnings could potentially be between $5.5 million and $8 million.

Financial Issues

Montag’s financial issues became apparent after she started making significant income from her appearances in the reality TV series The Hills in 2006. At the height of her career, she earned up to $175,000 per episode and made approximately $2 million a year combined with her husband and co-star, Spencer Pratt.

It’s reported that the couple spent almost all their $10 million net worth in just a few years, mainly on a lavish lifestyle, luxury items, and throwing expensive parties, spending between $10,000 and $20,000 a week, including $3,000 bottles of wine.

In 2009, Montag made headlines when she underwent ten plastic surgeries in a single day, costing over $100,000. She also spent nearly $2 million to launch her music career, funding her album Superficial. However, her career didn’t take off as planned, as the album received harsh feedback from industry critics.

As The Hills ended in 2010, so did most of Montag’s income. By 2011, Montag reported that she and her husband had less than $10,000 in savings, despite earning millions for many years, and had to sell off almost all their luxury possessions and downsize their home to stay afloat.

Montag also accumulated a tax debt during her high-income years on The Hills, underestimating her tax obligations, owing the IRS $2 million. There were also claims of bankruptcy to help restructure her finances; however, this remains speculation.

Since then, Montag and her husband have attempted to rebuild their finances, participating in reality TV shows like Celebrity Big Brother and using their past experiences to spread awareness about the dangers of overspending and financial mismanagement in Hollywood.

Real Estate

In 2017, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt paid $2.52 million for a 2,300-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bathroom home in the Pacific Palisades, California. By the beginning of 2025, the couple’s home was valued at almost $4 million, but it unfortunately burned down in the 2025 California fires. Pratt’s parents’ home also burned down in the fires, and they opted to sell the land for a little over $4 million.

As for Heidi and Spencer’s situation, Heidi has said that the rebuild would cost roughly $5 million, and based on California insurance providers, they were likely only covered for between $2 million and $3 million. They’ve indicated that they’re likely going to be unable to afford a full rebuild, and presumably will sell the land in the near future.
