Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt shot to stardom on MTV's The Hills. At the height of their fame, they brought in $2 million per year, according to People magazine. However, the couple also spent lavishly: $1 million on clothing for Heidi, another $1 million on a crystal collection for Spencer, and expensive dinners with $3,000 bottles of wine. "We were keeping up with the Joneses, but we were going against Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes," Spencer said. "We should have stayed in our reality TV lane."
The pair ended up moving into Spencer's parents' vacation home, where they lived rent-free and focused on their budget. He shared that they hadn't gone out for an expensive dinner since their anniversary. "Life is so short," Heidi said. "And what matters is being happy with family and marriage and with personal progress. We’re in a really good place."
