Savannah Chrisley is a reality TV personality best known for appearing on Chrisley Knows Best and its spinoff Growing Up Chrisley.
She’s the daughter of Todd and Julie Chrisley, who are currently incarcerated following convictions for bank fraud and tax evasion in 2022.
Since then, Savannah has taken on the role of legal guardian for her younger siblings, Grayson and Chloe, and has been vocal about her parents’ legal battles, including advocating for their release and even speaking at the 2024 Republican National Convention to support a potential pardon from Donald Trump.
Parents
Savannah’s parents are Todd and Julie Chrisley.
Todd and Julie were convicted in November 2022 on charges of bank fraud, tax evasion, and related financial crimes.
They had been running a scheme for years, falsifying documents to secure over $30 million in fraudulent loans, and hiding income from the IRS with the help of their accountant (who was also convicted).
Todd was initially sentenced to 12 years, and Julie got 7 years, both with 16 months of probation to follow.
They began serving their sentences in January 2023—Todd at FPC Pensacola in Florida, a minimum-security federal prison camp, and Julie at FMC Lexington in Kentucky.
Since then, there’ve been updates. Their sentences were reduced slightly in 2023—Todd’s to 10 years and Julie’s to 5½ years—after appeals and adjustments, though they lost a bigger appeal to overturn the convictions entirely in June 2024.
Savannah has been outspoken about their conditions, claiming Todd faced retaliation in prison, like black mold exposure and food issues, for speaking out, and that Julie’s facility was similarly harsh.
Career
Chrisley first stepped into the spotlight with Chrisley Knows Best, a reality TV show on USA Network that premiered in 2014 and ran for 10 seasons until its cancellation in 2022 following her parents’ legal troubles.
The show, centered on her family’s flashy Southern lifestyle, made her a recognizable name.
She was a main cast member from the start, reportedly earning between $100,000 and $500,000 per season depending on her role and contract—though exact figures aren’t public.
This gig laid the foundation for her career, giving her a platform and initial income stream.
She also starred in the spinoff Growing Up Chrisley with her brother Chase, which aired from 2019 to 2022 for four seasons, further boosting her TV presence and earnings.
Beyond reality TV, Savannah has branched out as an entrepreneur.
She launched Sassy by Savannah, a cosmetics and fragrance line, in 2020, selling products like lip kits, eyeshadow palettes, and moisturizers.
While some items sold out early on, she quietly stepped back from the brand by 2024, suggesting it’s no longer a primary focus.
She also created Faith Over Fear, a sportswear fashion line with HSN, reflecting her interest in fashion and faith-driven messaging.
These ventures added to her income, though their current status is unclear—some speculate they’ve tapered off amid her family’s financial strain.
Additionally, she’s a licensed realtor in Nashville, working with Chrisley and Co., leveraging her family’s real estate background to tap into the luxury market. This role likely provides a steady, if less publicized, revenue stream.
Since her parents, Todd and Julie, went to prison in January 2023 for fraud and tax evasion, Savannah’s career has shifted.
She’s taken on guardianship of her younger siblings, Grayson and Chloe, and has spoken about working “multiple jobs” to support them, hinting at financial pressures.
Her TV career pivoted with appearances on The Masked Singer (Season 11, as Afghan Hound) and Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test (Season 2), showing she’s willing to try new formats.
In February 2025, she teased a potential “wine night cooking series” on Unlocked, signaling interest in a fresh TV venture—though nothing’s confirmed yet.
