Farrah Abraham | Reality-TV Star | $1 Million

The aspiring model and singer-writer Farrah was only seventeen years old when she was cast on the 2008 MTV show 16 and Pregnant. The reality show documented the lives of expecting teens across the United States. Her daughter, Sophia, was born just a year after she was cast in the show. Given the popularity and the success of the show, Farrah was also cast in the show’s spin-off, Teen Mom, alongside Amber Portwood and Maci Bookout.

It was also during this time that the TV personality worked on her associate degree in culinary arts and management at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. Because she was finishing her course, Farrah was faced with a horrible decision to leave her daughter, who was then only two years old, with her parents in Iowa. Later on, she would continue to appear in various TV shows, allowing her to earn quite a significant net worth for her and her daughter.
