What is Todd Chrisley’s Brother’s Net Worth?
Randy Chrisley’s net worth is estimated from as low as $100,000 to as high as $1 million based on different reports.
There are different stories as to how the Westminster-born Randy has made his wealth over the years.
Some sources record that he owned a real estate company that closed in 2012. This claim, however, has no backing but it is known that his older brother, Todd owned a real estate company until he filed for bankruptcy in 2012.
In addition to how he may have earned his wealth, Randy is a businessman and has also appeared in Todd’s Chrisley Knows Best – an American reality TV series that started in 2014 about the Chrisley family.
Slightly away from Randy’s wealth, his family is equally known for its affluence and for being highly involved in businesses. His older brother, Todd has a net worth that is estimated at $1.5 million.
Todd is the owner of Chrisley Asset Management in Atlanta, Georgia. The company is a Real Estate Owned (REO) management company that pays attention to expediting the loss recovery and liquidation of non-performing assets.

- Lindsey Chrisley: Randy’s niece and owner of the Southern Tea Podcast; a podcast that focuses on life, career, family, and faith among others
Randy Chrisley whose net worth is estimated from $100,000 to $1 million remains one of the less than 40% of people to survive stage 4 cancer, per Medical News Today. Although he may have been living away from fame and is one of the very few famous people (like Winona Ryder) to engage in shoplifting, his fame may increase if he participates in Chrisley Knows Best series if his brother gets convicted.
