What is Tori Spelling’s net worth? 90210 alum’s monthly income revealed amid divorce

Tori Spelling’s entry into Hollywood came with advantages few others enjoyed. Her father, Aaron Spelling, produced some of television’s most successful shows, while her mother, Candy, was active in theater. According to People, the couple was married for almost four decades before Aaron passed away in 2006. Their children, Tori Spelling and Randy, grew up in Holmby Hills, and in her teenage years, the family moved into Spelling Manor, a mansion spanning more than 56,000 square feet.

“[My dad] really built that because it was my mom’s dream, and he wanted her to be happy, he was so in love with her,” Tori recalled during a 2022 episode of her 90210MG podcast.

Aaron also urged Tori Spelling to enter the television industry, and at 17, she secured a role in the hit Fox series Beverly Hills, 90210, which he produced.

However, things aren't that rosy now. Celebrity Net Worth estimates her net worth at $150,000, a figure that stands in sharp contrast to the life she knew when her father was alive.

Divorce filings highlight financial struggles

Court filings tied to Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott’s divorce shed light on the couple’s financial realities, with both parties disclosing income and debt details. In paperwork filed September 5 in Los Angeles Superior Court, McDermott claimed that Tori Spelling's monthly income fluctuated dramatically, anywhere from $3,000 to $75,000, “depending on the job.”

By contrast, McDermott reported earning $3,800 a month. He described a steep decline in his professional opportunities, citing the Hollywood labor strikes and broader industry changes.

“My acting and producing work has decreased drastically,” he shared.

The documents also noted that his partner, Lily Calo, brought in $600 a month. Meanwhile, McDermott’s own living costs averaged $3,980, leaving him spending more than he made. Alongside those figures, he disclosed significant debts, including a $200,000 past-due loan with City National Bank and outstanding credit card balances of $2,500 on Capital One and $12,000 on Care Credit. He also carried a $1,200 dental bill.

The couple’s marital struggles had become public in June 2023, when they announced the end of their 18-year marriage. McDermott wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post,

“It’s with great sadness and a very very heavy heart that after 18 years together and 5 amazing children, that @torispelling and I have decided to go our separate ways, and start a new journey of our own, we will continue to work together as loving parents and guide and love our children through this difficult time. We ask that you all respect our privacy as we take this time to surround our family with love and work our way through this. Thank you all for your support and kindness.”

As per Page Six, Spelling later filed for divorce, officially listing June 17, 2023, as their date of separation and “irreconcilable differences” as the cause.

Stark contrast with Candy Spelling’s wealth

By 2024, reports from Style confirmed that Tori Spelling had secured a more stable home: a five-bedroom rental in Woodland Hills, California. The move marked a change after she spent months in temporary living arrangements, which included motels and an RV she shared with her children. When those struggles came to light, many online observers expressed disbelief. The contrast between Tori Spelling's financial difficulties and her mother’s immense fortune did not go unnoticed.

Candy Spelling, who inherited Aaron Spelling’s estate after his death in 2006, was estimated by Celebrity Net Worth to hold $600 million in assets, including multiple multimillion-dollar properties.

Candy Spelling lost her longtime Malibu home to Palisades fire

In January 2025, Candy Spelling lost her Malibu home in the Los Angeles wildfires, a close friend confirmed to People. On January 9, Nikki Haskell, a longtime friend of the Broadway producer, told the outlet that the house had burned down in the Palisades Fire. Haskell described the property as “the house she owned with Aaron for 50 years,” referring to Candy’s late husband, Aaron Spelling.

Haskell also confirmed that Candy was unharmed. She had been staying at her Beverly Hills home while construction was underway at the Malibu residence. “Candy is safe,” she said, adding, “This feels like an apocalyptic crisis.”

The Wall Street Journal reported in 2019 that the Spellings purchased the Malibu property in 1972 and expanded it in the 1990s by acquiring the neighboring house. The beachfront residence, spanning 8,000 square feet, featured seven bedrooms.

The Malibu home was separate from the family’s more famous estate, Spelling Manor, in Holmby Hills. That 56,500-square-foot French chateau-style mansion became synonymous with the family in the 1990s, when they hosted extravagant parties. Candy sold the 123-room property in 2011, telling People at the time,

“I spent four years, 24-7, planning this house. Now I need something smaller – just for me. I’m going to have to give up some things, but it’s time for a change.”

The relationship between Tori Spelling and her mother, Candy, had been well-documented and, at times, turbulent. Given their prominence in Hollywood, much of their personal history, from family disputes to financial matters, unfolded publicly.
