While they may be used to working on these lavish residences, not all of these stars are going home to ones themselves. Although not everyone is rolling in cash, several stars from HGTV have managed to turn their professions into a booming business leaving plenty of room for a few outlandish purchases. Weathering the precarious property market, these stars have managed to accumulate some surprising net worths in their lives.

From Flip or Flop to House Hunters, Fixer Upper to Love It or List It, there have been a vast number of property shows over the years to keep us entertained. Whether it is being able to take a glimpse inside the million dollar homes of the world or merely loving the process these builders and designers take to transform the homes into ideas never seen before; there is a property show for everyone. While it may seem as though some of the designers simply wave a magic wand to transform these spaces, there is a skill that goes into picturing the end project, as well as knowing how to utilize the space available best.

People have many different reasons as to why they begin climbing the property ladder. Some want to expand their homes as their families grow, while others are looking for a way to make some money through buying properties before renovating and selling the buildings for a profit – a process known as flipping properties.

For these HGTV stars, whatever their motivation for starting out on their journey way, they have been able to renovate some incredible properties over the years. Some of their shows were the product of a lifetime of work, while others began their long and prosperous careers after being given an off-chance to show their talents on HGTV. So, are these stars living a life of luxury, or are the people on the show counting the pennies at home just to make it through life?
