From studying music business to selling luxury homes, Savannah Chrisley has been
all over the place with her education – but did she actually leave with a degree in her hand?
Reality television star Savannah Chrisley's educational journey has been featured publicly
on a few occasions, including on the television series Chrisley Knows Best and its spin-off,
Growing up Chrisley. Her dad Todd Chrisley told OK! magazine about Savannah's attitude
toward her education, explaining that she is "extremely academic."
Because of this, it probably doesn't come as much of a surprise that Savannah decided to
pursue higher education. The reality star has attended two different universities,
according to Life & Style magazine. Although
she began her college experience attending Lipscomb University in Nashville, Tennessee,
she later decided to transfer schools. Chrisley first announced her decision via Facebook,
where she revealed that she had been accepted to Belmont University to study Music Business.
According to Life & Style, Chrisley graduated from Belmont University. However,
a post from Chrisley's Instagram story has her responding to a fan's question by saying,
Based on this, it appears that Chrisley did not earn her degree from Belmont — at least
as of March 2022. Although it looks like she may have more credits remaining to earn a bachelor's
degree, Savannah Chrisley has a real estate license, as reported by Bravo TV. Chrisley
posted a celebratory photo to Instagram in December 2020, sharing with her followers,
"So I think I'm just in a phase in my life to where I'm figuring out who I am as a person."
Savannah now operates the real estate firm Chrisley and Co. in Nashville, Tennessee.
According to the company's website, Savannah is the owner of Chrisley and Co. and a member of
the Greater Nashville Realtors. Her bio mentions that she began her business by investing in luxury
properties around Nashville and the surrounding area. It is unclear if Savannah would set
aside this endeavor if she were to complete her undergraduate degree, but she looks to be doing
well for herself in the real estate business. By most recent estimates, Chrisley is worth around
$500,000 per Celebrity Net Worth. So, where does all that dough come from?
First and foremost, we can assume a big chunk of that change comes from
her reality TV contracts. According to Reality Titbit, Chrisley is likely pulling in around
$250,000 annually for her TV appearances. However, the reality star has much more
going on than just TV. In addition to her entertainment contracts and
her stint as a realtor, Chrisley has also dabbled in the business world.
Chrisley released a clothing line, Faith Over Fear, in 2017. She followed that
up with a second collaboration with Rampage clothing, according to Life & Style. Finally,
Chrisley dropped a successful makeup brand, aptly named Sassy,
in 2020. Take all that and add in her podcast, "Unlocked with Savannah
Chrisley," and the reality star is sitting pretty atop multiple streams of income.
Savannah Chrisley has spent her adult life grinding and capitalizing on her family's fame,
but thanks to her parents' legal problems, that could all come crashing down. In 2019,
Todd and Julie Chrisley found themselves under investigation for tax evasion and
bank fraud. Three years later, they were convicted, and in November 2022,
they were sentenced to 12 and seven years in prison, respectively.
In response to the legal melee, USA opted to cancel Chrisley Knows Best midway through filming
its tenth season. For good measure, they also opted to pull the plug on Growing up Chrisley.
That's bad news for everyone, including Savannah, who heavily relied on the show as part of her
income. While Savannah is undoubtedly worried about her financial future, she's focused more
on being there for her family as their dynamic shifts. She said during a Season 10 episode:
