The Richest Hill Star: The $40 Million Empire of Lauren Conrad
The biggest shock for many fans is the massive wealth gap among the cast, with the star who famously left the show early leading the pack. Lauren Conrad, who stepped away from The Hills to focus on her career, is the wealthiest cast member by a significant margin.
Her estimated net worth in 2025 stands at an astounding $40 million.
LC’s success is a testament to her strategic transition from reality TV star to a legitimate businesswoman. Her empire includes multiple successful ventures, making her a true "girl boss" of the decade.
- Fashion & Retail: Conrad has built a successful fashion line, LC Lauren Conrad, which is carried by major department stores and has been a consistent seller for over a decade.
- Author: She is a New York Times bestselling author, having penned the popular L.A. Candy and The Fame Game series, along with several style and beauty guides.
- Beauty & Lifestyle: She launched the clean beauty line, Lauren Conrad Beauty, and a philanthropic marketplace called The Little Market, co-founded with Hannah Skvarla.
While Kristin Cavallari follows closely with an estimated $30 million net worth from her jewelry and lifestyle brand, Uncommon James, and her media projects, Lauren Conrad remains the undisputed financial champion of the Hills universe.

What’s Next? The Future of The Hills Franchise: Next Gen
The legacy of The Hills is far from over. MTV has officially given the green light to a new iteration of the reality show with the working title The Hills: Next Gen.
This new series is confirmed to feature a completely fresh, all-new, and diverse cast of young men and women navigating adulthood in Los Angeles, unconnected to the original cast members' families.
While an official release date has not been announced, speculation points to a late 2025 or 2026 premiere.
The new format is an attempt to capture the cultural zeitgeist that made the original Laguna Beach and The Hills so successful, but with a modern, more inclusive lens. The original cast members are unlikely to appear, allowing a new generation to write their own unscripted drama.
