Even after motherhood, Chrissy Teigen is still one of the hottest women in the entertainment industry; she regularly appears on the covers of prestigious magazines, she co-hosts a hit TV show, and she’s even written a best-selling cookbook! Her husband is musician John Legend, and she has a net worth of approximately $10.0 million. Thanks to the wonderful work she does, Chrissy Teigen looks ready to continue raking in the money!

McKayla Maroney, a gymnast who was on the U.S. 2012 Olympic team, is in a tight corner financially because of a nondisclosure agreement she signed with USA Gymnastics as part of a $1.25 million abuse-related agreement. In it, she agreed to not speak publicly about Larry Nassar or the sexual abuse she suffered at his hands. The former USA Gymnastics national team doctor has been named in hundreds of lawsuits filed by athletes, claiming he abused them under the pretext of being given a medical examination. If Maroney violates this NDA, she will have to pay a fine of $100,000, which might make her unable to testify against Nassar. When Chrissy Teigen heard this, she said that she would gladly pay the fine to allow Maroney her chance to speak up! It takes a big heart—and a big net worth—to be able to do this, and luckily, Teigen has both! But how much is she actually worth and where did her money come from? We have more about Chrissy Teigen’s net worth in 2018, right here.
