Katie Price Net Worth

What is Katie Price's Net Worth?

Katie Price, AKA Jordan, is an English celebrity and former glamour model who has a net worth of $1 million. Katie Price gained recognition as a glamor model in the late 90s under the pseudonym Jordan. She has appeared on numerous reality television series since then, including "I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!" and "Celebrity Big Brother," as well as her own self-focused series "Jordan," "Katie & Peter," and "Katie Price: My Crazy Life." As a nominal author, Price has published multiple novels, autobiographies, and children's books.

Katie Price began modeling as a child, and was hired to model for a children's clothing line when she was 13.  Unfortunately, the photographer insisted that she model in her underwear, and it turned out he was actually a convicted pedophile.  It was not a particularly auspicious way to begin her professional career.  After leaving school at age 16, where she was a champion swimmer, she relaunched her modeling career.  This time she was more successful, appearing in multiple British publications, including a high-profile spread on Page Three, the topless glamour model section of "The Sun" tabloid.  Beginning in 1996, she became a fixture on Page Three and in various magazines, such as FHM, Nuts, Maxim, British Playboy, and Loaded.  She has since also appeared on the cover of Playboy in the US, and in Vogue and Esquire.  She has written columns, released books about her life, appeared on various reality shows, hosted programs, launched clothing and haircare lines, and continued to model.

Price has had many highly publicized personal relationships. She has been married three times, to include singer Peter Andre (2005-2009), professional fighter Alex Reid (2010-2011) and builder and part-time stripper Kieran Hayler, whom she married in 2013. It is public knowledge that Hayler cheated on Price and the world speculated on the fate of their marriage as Price vacillated about whether or not she would stay with him because of their kids. In June of 2014, Price told 'Mirror' (celebrity news) that she felt that she owed it to her children to give Hayler a second chance, though she also said the reconciliation ultimately was not successful.

Bankruptcy

At the peak of her career in the mid-2000s, Katie's fortune topped $40 million. Amazingly, over the ensuing decade Katie blew through the majority of her fortune. In June 2019 her finances were in such disrepair that she was forced to file for a bankruptcy debt restructuring which a U.K. court granted. Dozens of creditors reportedly lined up to seek repayment of debts owed by Ms. Price. According to her bankruptcy arrangement, she will repay what she owes at somewhat reduced levels. She also reportedly owed millions in taxes.

In the spring of 2018, Price was carjacked, robbed, and reportedly raped in South Africa; she subsequently suffered a mental breakdown and tried to kill herself. The following year, she was fined and issued a restraining order for shouting at a woman on a school playground. Due to her many troubles, Price declared bankruptcy in late 2019.
