What is Jen Shah’s net worth? Fortune explored amid reality star’s early prison release

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City alum Jen Shah has been released from prison after serving her reduced six-and-a-half-year sentence since 2023. The reality star was arrested for her role in a nationwide telemarketing scheme.

Her manager, Chris Giovanni, told PEOPLE in an exclusive,

"Everyone's very grateful for the BOP's decision, especially because it means Jen will be able to reunite with her family for the holidays. It's a gift she doesn't take for granted."

He further added, "Jen's in a really positive, hopeful place mentally. She's done a lot of reflecting and real growth during her time away, and is genuinely not the same woman as she was before. Her focus is on her family and building a healthier, more grounded life. She understands the seriousness of the mistakes she made and is excited to put this chapter behind her so that she can show everyone the woman she's worked hard to become."

Jen Shah had been serving at the Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas, which is a minimum-security facility, after pleading guilty in July 2022 to the charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud in a scheme that had targeted thousands.

At the time, in her sentencing, she had said, "I am sorry. My actions have hurt innocent people. I want to apologize by saying, I am doing all I can to earn the funds to pay restitution."

Ever since her surrender, her serving time has been reduced multiple times due to good behavior, participation in prison programming, and financial payments she made to her victims.

“I am most grateful for the aspects of my life that have never left me: my family and faith. In my daily prayers, I ask God for the courage to realize I am worthy of a second chance… I am finding the courage to set my fear and guilt aside."
