Tori's father is one of the most accomplished figures in the history of television. He started producing shows in 1959, and has 219 producing credits to his name. His shows included Charlie's Angels, Mod Squad, Starsky and Hutch, The Love Boat, Dynasty, and many more, including 90210. The Spelling family owned the largest single-family home in all of Los Angeles, at over 56,000 square feet. They were so wealthy, the fictional family in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air claimed to live across the street from the Spellings.

“It’s not my fault I’m an uptown girl stuck in a midtown life. I was raised in opulence," Tori says. "My standards are ridiculously high." She also says she has a terrible shopping habit, and her children's boutique is even hemorrhaging money. She and Dean have no savings aside from retirement, and she's already borrowed money from her mother Candy once. Yikes!

With her reality show Tori & Dean recently canceled, Tori has almost no sources of income. She says she googled herself and saw that her net worth was listed as $15 million. "Fifteen million dollars! I didn’t have one million." There you have it!
