The Richest HGTV Stars Might Surprise You

David Visentin was working as a real estate agent when he got a call to audition for Love It or List It. Though he was new to the TV industry, his sister worked at a network and urged him to try out. "About a week later, my sister called me and said, 'Hey, you're shooting the pilot in a week,'" he explained to Monsters & Critics.

Visentin seemed destined to star alongside designer Hilary Farr. Though the two are known for arguing on TV — after all, it is a competition — it sure looks like he's loving it after over a dozen seasons on air. "Me and Hilary have a lot of fun together," he told The Real Estate Talk Show. There's also the paycheck, of course. He's now one of HGTV's richest stars, with a net worth of $6 million (via Celebrity Net Worth).

However, while HGTV gives Visentin a full plate, he still keeps himself busy on his breaks from shooting. "I sell real estate for a living," he continued, so that accounts for some of his cash, too.
