Chrissy Teigen is basically Macaulay Culkin in Ri¢hie Ri¢h-levels of wealthy thanks to a successful modeling career, lucrative TV hosting gigs, and an extremely profitable pivot into cooking. Basically she's a branding genius whose made a ton of money—here's exactly how she did it (so you can try and copy her, obvi).

Let's Talk Lip Sync Battle

Lest you forget, Chrissy was the host of Lip Sync Battle. For some reason, the Lip Sync Powers That Be have yet to disclose her salary (why you keeping secrets, guys?), but let's safely assume she got a decent paycheck.

Plus, Chrissy has had other fancy TV gigs over the years including on E!, Extra, America's Next Top Model, The Mindy Project, and Bring the Funny.

Her Cookbooks Sold Wildly Well

Remember Cravings? I, for one, ate nothing but her recipes for a full week, and I'm here to tell you that every single one was more delish than the last. Cravings was one of the two best-selling cookbooks of 2016, selling copies to over 270,000 very hungry buyers. Luckily for everyone, I brushed off my middle school math skills and worked out that the retail value of her book ($29.99) multiplied by the number of copies sold (270,000) equals over $8 million. Obviously Chrissy only got a slice of that, but still!

BTW, since Cravings Chrissy has released Cravings Hungry for More and Cravings All Together, the latter of which was a New York Times bestseller!

Her products are available everywhere from Bed Bath & Beyond to Target to Walmart, so yeah...gonna assume she's making a killing.

Don't Forget About Becca Cosmetics

Chrissy did multiple collaborations with Becca Cosmetics before the brand shuttered, which sold like hot cakes online and at Sephora (though again, no details on Chrissy's exact cut).

Let's Not Forget Her Modeling Career

Before Chrissy was a TV host and cookbook author, she was a casual supermodel. She came in at #3 on Forbes' list of the highest paid models of 2017 (just behind Kendall Jenner and Gisele Bündchen), though keep in mind this ranking also includes endorsements. Speaking of, Chrissy has had endorsement deals with several major brands, including McDonald's, Vita Coco, Smirnoff, and Pampers.

She and John Have a Ton Tied Up in Real Estate

Let's see, first of all there's the house they bought from Rihanna for $14.1 million in 2016, which they sold for $16.8 million in 2021 per Celebrity Net Worth. Then there's their $5.1 million West Hollywood place, two apartments in NYC, and a $17.5 million mansion in Beverly Hills.

So What Is Chrissy Teigen's Net Worth, in Total?

That would be $75 million as of 2023, according to Celebrity Net Worth (note: this is a combined net worth with John Legend). As for how much Chrissy makes per year, Forbes reported that she made $13.5 million back in 2017—which she also confirmed.

Psst: Celebrity Net Worth also reports that she made another $12 million in 2018. Meanwhile, I'm over here all:
