Tori Spelling Net Worth - Pulptastic

What is Tori Spelling’s net worth and salary?

Tori Spelling is an American actress with a net worth of $1.5 million. She is most famous for her role as Donna Martin on the hit 90s series “Beverly Hills, 90210,” which was co-produced by her father, Aaron Spelling. In addition, she briefly appeared in the show’s modern spin-off series.

Tori Spelling’s Financial Troubles

In October 2013, Tori Spelling made the shocking announcement that she was broke and had squandered away every penny she had ever made to the point where she was borrowing money from her mother to pay rent and could not afford a simple medical procedure for her husband. Spelling claimed to have blown through every dollar she ever made acting or inherited from her late father (an estimated $15 – $20 million). In an interview, Spelling claimed to have blown through millions of dollars on failed real estate investments and lavish purchases for her family.

When asked about her exact net worth Tori replied: “I don’t have one million dollars. We had some income here and there, but no savings apart from our retirement accounts.” To be fair, Tori’s husband Dean clarified her statements the next day by telling US Magazine: “Right now things are going well. Tori and I are doing just fine financially.”

Also, keep in mind that Tori’s mom Candy is sitting on a cool $600 million. So I wouldn’t stress too much about Tori Spelling’s financial future. But at the same time, in March 2017, City National Bank filed a lawsuit against Tori and Dean after they failed to pay off $200,000 out of a $400,000 loan. City National also claimed that Tori overdrew $17,000 from her checking account. While that lawsuit was going on Dean was also being sued by his ex for $100,000 in owed child support. A few months earlier the couple was sued by American Express for $87,000 in credit card debt and $260,000 in unpaid taxes.
