Introduction

Ree Drummond is an American author, blogger, food writer, and television personality with an estimated net worth of $50 Million.

Drummond was listed as number 22nd on Forbes’ Top 25 Web Celebrities. Her blog, The Pioneer Woman, documents her daily life as a ranch wife and mother.

Career

Ree Drummond’s experience studying journalism led her to become interested in becoming a professional lawyer, but this changed when she met Ladd Drummond.

After their marriage, she became passionate about ranching and homeschooling and decided to pursue a career as a writer in these fields. In 2006, Drummond launched her first blog, The Pioneer Woman, which became a huge success and led to many popular books.

Career Beginnings & Expansion Into Food Writing

Through her blog ThePioneerWoman, Ree Drummond covered a broad range of topics relating to her lifestyle on the ranch and homeschooling.

As the blog continued to rise in popularity, she decided to broaden her horizons and began covering food and sharing recipes with her readers.

These blogs covered everything from the importance of avoiding junk food to tips and advice on feeding a large family healthy meals.

Her tutorial “How to Cook a Steak” catapulted her writing into the spotlight after winning the 2010 Weblog of the Year at the Bloggies awards.

Thanks to this award and other successes, Drummond’s blog would pick up millions of page views per month, comparable to outlets such as The Daily Beast.

Drummond quickly gained the attention of the mainstream media, who praised her for her slickly produced content and high revenue stream.

At the time, she was earning an estimated $1 million per year from advertising revenue alone, leading her to branch out into writing published books.

Notable Book Releases

In addition to her hugely successful blog, Ree Drummond has authored many books exploring cookery and ranch life since 2011.

Her debut release, The Pioneer Woman Cooks, was well-received by the New York Times, and followed by the book Black Heels On Tractor Wheels.

Additional books on ranch life and cooking soon followed, continuing the pioneer woman theme that helped establish her growing reputation.

Drummond also worked on a series of children’s books that focused on the Basset Hound Charlie, beginning with 2012’s Charlie and the Christmas Kitty.

Further books in the series revolving around a visit to the doctor, playing ball, and life with a new baby expand the character’s universe for younger audiences.

Her bibliography has continued to expand consistently year-on-year, with Drummond dividing her writing between cookery and children’s books.

She has worked with mainstream publications such as Harper Collins, as well as self-publishing various titles and achieving commercial success.

Movie Projects & Television Shows

Ree Drummond’s rising popularity among food lovers and ranch lifestyle enthusiasts allowed her to branch out into appearances on television shows.

Her first notable television appearance came in 2010 when she starred on the food show Throwdown! with Bobby Flay in a celebrity cook-off.

The series, which includes a mini-biography of each guest, helped Drummond’s writing reach a larger audience and showcase her winning personality.

Drummond has also reportedly been involved in discussions for a movie adaptation of her popular book, From Black Heels to Tractor Wheels.

The film, which is set to star Reese Witherspoon in the leading role, is set to be produced by Columbia Pictures, one of the big five Hollywood studios.
