Lindsie Chrisleyis getting candid about her earnings onChrisley Knows Best.
During an episode of her PodcastOneTheSouthern Teapodcast, the reality star, 33, gave fans some insight into how she was financially compensated during her time on the USA Network reality show.
“For every season, there was a payment increase on that and you are paid to play, so you are paid per episode that you are in – it’s an episodic fee,” she explained, before sharing how she purposefully saved her earnings.
“I did not scale our marital lifestyle to what I was making onChrisley Knows Best,” she said, referring to her ex-husband,Will Campbell. “That was not in my best interest because I didn’t know the longevity there and didn’t feel that I should be setting us up to live a lifestyle that could possibly not be maintained.”

Lindsie described her saving tactics as “very methodical,” though she ended up losing “every bit of equity from our first home and our second marital home in my divorce because I had savings that matched what was in equity in our home.”
She continued, “A lot of the equity in our home came from money that I placed down on the home upgrades, earnest money, downpayment. A lot of that money also came fromChrisley Knows Bestand I still lost it.”
Lindsie and Willfinalized their divorcein October 2021 after announcing their decision to go their separate ways about three months earlier. In a post on Instagram at the time, Lindsie confirmed that the twosome “mutually decided” that ending their marriage was the best move for their family.
