Furthermore, she is the author of ‘True Roots,’ ‘True Comfort,’ and ‘Balancing in Heels: My Journey to Health, Happiness, and Making it all Work.’ Hence, it comes as no surprise that her net worth is estimated to be $30 million, making her the richest cast member of ‘The Hills.’
2. Brody Jenner – $10 million
