Catherine Paiz Net Worth

What is Catherine Paiz's net worth?

Catherine Paiz is a Canadian actress and social media personality who has a net worth of $2 million. Catherine Paiz is best known for being one-half of The ACE Family, the widely popular YouTube channel she co-created with her former husband,  Austin McBroom, and their three children.

The couple built a massive audience by sharing vlogs about parenting, relationships, and their lavish lifestyle, attracting more than 19 million subscribers and generating billions of views. Their video "The Best Proposal of All Time" has more than 35 million views. Off camera, however, Catherine's personal life was more turbulent than her online image suggested. In January 2024, after seven years of marriage, she and McBroom announced their divorce. In May 2025, Catherine spoke out for the first time about the emotional toll of the relationship and McBroom's infidelity during a revealing interview on "Call Her Daddy."

Beyond her YouTube fame, Catherine has worked as a model and appeared in several independent films. She has built a large following on Instagram and other platforms, where she now shares content centered on motherhood, wellness, and personal growth. In May 2025, she released the first volume of her memoir, titled "DOLORES: My Journey Home," in which she reflects on her childhood, marriage, and path toward reclaiming her identity after years in the public eye.

Early Life

Catherine Paiz was born in Montreal, Canada, in August 1990. She is of Panamanian and French-Canadian descent and was raised primarily by her father, who ran a barbershop. As a child, she moved around frequently and spent time living in Tampa, Florida. After high school, she briefly attended St. Louis University before pursuing modeling and acting opportunities. Her multicultural background and natural charisma helped her land early work in fashion and media.

Rise to Fame

Catherine began her career as a model, working with brands such as Azzelia Swimwear and Victoria's Secret. She also worked at an ice cream parlor and as a VIP manager at Arkadia, a Miami nightclub, before transitioning into social media. Her on-camera presence and growing Instagram following eventually led her to acting roles in low-budget films including "Lilin's Brood," "Monday Nights at Seven," and "You Can't Have It." However, her true breakout came when she and Austin McBroom launched The ACE Family channel on YouTube in 2016. The couple's family-centered content quickly attracted a devoted fan base. Catherine's calm demeanor and maternal energy contrasted with Austin's high-energy personality, making them a compelling pair. As the channel exploded in popularity, Catherine became a prominent influencer and brand collaborator in her own right.

Personal Life and Cheating Scandal

Catherine Paiz privately married Austin McBroom in 2017. They kept the marriage under wraps until announcing it in early 2020, shortly before revealing they were expecting their third child. Together, they share three children: Elle, Alaïa, and Steel. As their online fame grew, so did public scrutiny of their relationship, with persistent rumors circulating about McBroom's alleged infidelity.

In January 2024, the couple announced their divorce. Catherine described the separation as mutual and amicable at the time, but in May 2025, she gave a detailed and emotional interview on the podcast "Call Her Daddy" that revealed years of heartbreak and betrayal. She recalled multiple incidents, including one when she was caring for an infant and pregnant with another child, during which she suspected Austin was unfaithful. According to Paiz, she later confirmed at least three affairs, and recounted finding suspicious messages on his phone and hearing other women during calls while he was away.

Paiz also refuted Austin's claim that she had condoned his behavior as long as he did not "embarrass" her. Holding back tears, she said she never gave him permission and had been emotionally manipulated into staying silent for years. The interview coincided with the release of the first volume of her memoir, "DOLORES: My Journey Home," which details her path from public illusion to private healing.

Real Estate

In May 2019, Austin and Catherine paid $10.6 million for a mid-construction property in Woodland Hills, California. According to real estate records, they put roughly $1 million down and financed roughly $9 million. Their monthly mortgage bill came to $70,000. That would require approximately $1.7 million per year in pre-tax earnings to service.

At the time of the purchase, the property featured two unfinished mansions. The couple proceeded to complete the construction, spending millions of additional dollars. The final product features a half basketball court, mini-put course, and a wrapping infinity pool that stretches two sides of the property.

In an interview with the Daily Mail in December 2019, Catherine claimed that the family had been victims of a "dishonest contractor" who allegedly used a fake license to win their business, then never completed the project, leaving them without a certificate of occupancy, which is required to actually live in the house. The family moved into the house anyway because their lease at a previous mansion was up. During their time living in the home, it did not have gas, which meant they did not have hot water or heat for more than two years. They were not even able to do laundry.

In September 2019, they filmed a tour of the mansion for their YouTube channel:

At the 1 hour 3 minute mark of the above video, note how Austin decides to ride a jet ski in their infinity pool. This action reportedly caused a mudslide on the neighbor's property below.

On July 7, 2021, it was reported that the McBrooms had stopped making payments on their mansion in early 2021, and the property was allegedly entering pre-foreclosure. A week later, the home was listed as for sale on the MLS for $10 million.

In March 2022, the McBrooms moved into a rental home in Tarzana, California, which had been listed for $50,000 per month.
