Chrishell Stause has an estimated net worth of $6 million, built across three distinct industries: daytime television acting, luxury real estate, and reality TV. Born Terrina Chrishell Stause on July 21, 1981, in Draffenville, Kentucky, she spent more than a decade as a working soap opera actress before transitioning to real estate and becoming one of the most recognizable agents on Netflix’s Selling Sunset. Her income today spans Netflix appearance fees, real estate commissions at The Oppenheim Group, brand sponsorships, and a published memoir.
Updated March 2026: According to Variety, Stause starred through Season 9 of Selling Sunset before announcing in November 2025 that she would not return for a potential Season 10. Her net worth is widely estimated at $6 million across entertainment industry tracking outlets, consistent with her documented real estate commissions, Netflix salary, and ancillary income streams.
Chrishell Stause was born Terrina Chrishell Stause on July 21, 1981, in Draffenville, Kentucky. Her middle name, Chrishell, is a portmanteau derived from a Shell gas station and a helpful attendant named Chris who assisted her mother during an early labor scare — though Stause has clarified she was ultimately born in a hospital, not a gas station. Her biological father was of half-Japanese and half-Spanish descent; he and her mother had separated before her birth, and she was raised primarily by her mother and stepfather Jeff.
Her childhood was marked by significant hardship. Her parents struggled with addiction and mental health issues, and the family experienced periods of homelessness. Stause has spoken publicly about missing an entire year of middle school after being forced to live in a tent, washing her hair in a river, and relying on food stamps. She also spent stretches living in a trailer park. According to The Tab, Stause experienced homelessness again in the tenth grade, telling Page Six it was "really hard to live the lie at school." Both of her parents died of lung cancer in 2019 and 2020.
Despite these obstacles, Stause pursued a theater education and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Theater from Murray State University in Kentucky in 2003. Before her acting career took hold, she worked managing a local Dairy Queen. She is one of five sisters; her oldest sister Shonda has appeared on Selling Sunset seasons 1, 3, and 7 and lives in St. Louis.
Stause’s acting career began in earnest in 2005 when she was cast as Amanda Dillon in ABC’s long-running daytime soap opera All My Children. She joined the show on May 4, 2005, playing a character who had been absent from the Pine Valley canvas for five years. She remained in that role until 2011, also taking on film projects during the same period, including the independent productions Scaring the Fish (2008) and The Crimson Mask (2009).
In 2013, Stause joined NBC’s Days of Our Lives as Jordan Ridgeway, a physical therapist introduced as a recurring character. She played the role as a series regular from her debut on August 15, 2013, through 2015. She returned to the role on a recurring basis in 2019, appearing from February until November 11, 2019. Her 2020 guest appearance on the show earned her a Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Guest Performer in a Drama Series — a recognition from the Television Academy that underscored her continued credibility as a soap opera performer, per Wikipedia. She made additional guest appearances on the soap in 2021 and 2023.
Between her two soap stints, Stause had a recurring role on CBS’s The Young and the Restless as Bethany Bryant, debuting in late May 2016 and making her final appearance on August 17, 2016. She also competed on Season 29 of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars in 2020, which according to Cosmopolitan would have earned her at minimum approximately $245,000 based on Variety’s reported DWTS pay structure.
Stause joined The Oppenheim Group, a luxury real estate brokerage in Los Angeles led by brothers Jason and Brett Oppenheim, and became part of the original cast of Netflix’s Selling Sunset when the show premiered in 2019. The series follows agents at the high-end brokerage selling properties primarily in the Hollywood Hills and Bel Air markets.
She remained a core cast member through all nine seasons of the show (2019–2025). During seasons 1, 2, and 3, a marketing analysis by Evoluted estimated she sold approximately $15.8 million in real estate, generating substantial commission income. In 2021 alone, she sold seven homes — the most expensive at $9 million — and reportedly earned over $1 million in commissions that year, per Cosmopolitan. A Season 8 example reported by The Tab showed her earning an $80,000 gross commission on one sale, netting approximately $32,000 after splits with the buyer’s agent and the brokerage’s 20% cut.
Beyond commissions, Stause’s Netflix appearance fee has been reported as approximately $1 million per season — matching what Jason Oppenheim earns, according to The Tab’s reporting. This places her among the highest-paid cast members on the show. In November 2025, Stause told Bustle she would not return for a potential Season 10, effectively ending her six-season run as one of the show’s central figures, per People.
Stause’s net worth reflects income from multiple parallel revenue streams accumulated over two decades:
Stause’s personal life has been closely followed since her public divorce from actor Justin Hartley. The two met in 2013 through a colleague at Days of Our Lives, began dating, got engaged in July 2016, and married in an intimate ceremony in October 2017. Hartley filed for divorce in November 2019, reportedly notifying Stause by text message. He listed the separation date as July 2019, though the couple had made public appearances together after that point. The divorce was finalized on February 22, 2021. Stause discussed the split candidly in Selling Sunset Season 3 and in detail in her 2022 memoir.
After briefly dating DWTS partner Keo Motsepe (December 2020–February 2021) and Selling Sunset boss Jason Oppenheim (July–December 2021), Stause began a relationship with Australian non-binary musician G Flip (Georgia Flipo) in March 2022. The couple confirmed the relationship publicly in May 2022. They secretly married in Las Vegas in July 2022 — the ceremony was revealed in May 2023. They held a second ceremony in Palm Springs in July 2023, and have since made annual vow renewals a tradition: a third ceremony in Australia in July 2024 and a fourth medieval-themed ceremony in Los Angeles on July 26, 2025, per E! Online and People. In September 2025, the couple publicly discussed their IVF journey, describing it as "very grim."
Stause and G Flip do not have children. She owns a home in the Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, and purchased a new $3.8 million property in late 2024, which she negotiated independently using her own real estate expertise.
Chrishell Stause’s net worth is estimated at $6 million as of 2025–2026, per multiple entertainment industry outlets. Her wealth stems from a combination of Netflix appearance fees (reported at approximately $1 million per season), real estate commissions at The Oppenheim Group, Instagram brand partnerships, her 2022 memoir, and income from over a decade of daytime soap opera acting. She earned over $1 million in real estate commissions in 2021 alone, per Cosmopolitan.
Chrishell Stause is married to G Flip (born Georgia Flipo), an Australian non-binary musician. The couple began dating in March 2022, secretly married in Las Vegas in July 2022, and publicly confirmed the marriage in May 2023. As of July 2025, they have held four wedding ceremonies, making annual vow renewals a tradition, per People. She was previously married to actor Justin Hartley from 2017 to 2021.
Chrishell Stause is 44 years old, born on July 21, 1981, in Draffenville, Kentucky. She received a Bachelor of Arts in Theater from Murray State University in 2003 before launching her acting career in New York and Los Angeles. Her middle name, Chrishell, derives from a story involving a Shell gas station attendant named Chris who helped her mother during a labor scare, per Wikipedia.
Chrishell Stause stands 5 feet 6 inches tall (1.68 meters), per her IMDb profile. This height is consistent with her on-screen appearances on both Selling Sunset and during her years on daytime soap operas including All My Children and Days of Our Lives.
Chrishell Stause’s annual income is estimated in the range of $1.5–$2.5 million during peak Selling Sunset seasons, combining multiple income sources. Her Netflix appearance fee has been reported at approximately $1 million per season, according to The Tab. Real estate commissions in a strong year (such as 2021) added over $1 million more. Instagram sponsorships at her reported rate of up to $10,369 per post across multiple annual deals contribute additional income.
Chrishell Stause lives in Los Angeles, California. In June 2021 she purchased a four-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom midcentury ranch home in the Hollywood Hills for $3.3 million, per The Hollywood Reporter. In late 2024, she negotiated the purchase of a new $3.8 million Los Angeles property, handling the transaction herself using her own real estate license and negotiation skills.
Chrishell Stause does not have children. She and her partner G Flip discussed their IVF journey publicly in September 2025, describing the experience as "very grim" after going through the process without a successful outcome, per reporting at the time. Stause has spoken in interviews about wanting children but has not announced any pregnancies or adoptions as of early 2026. She has four sisters, with her oldest sister Shonda appearing on multiple seasons of Selling Sunset.
