Her net worth is north of $1.5 million. She doesn't need the work to eat.

$1.5M is a comically low net worth for someone in her position with the career she had. Imagine hosting the largest show on a network like Discovery for more than a decade and being worth less than a regional fast food chain owner. Your comment put this whole thing into a different perspective to me.

That seems really low for even a minor celebrity. But I imagine there's some royalty from the show that will keep coming over the next few years.

I work in tech and between my wife & I, our networth is over $3MM. We're in our 40s. A big chunk of that is in our house, which we paid much less for and it has appreciated over the last 5 years. This increase in networth due to the house we live in does nothing to improve our day-to-day life, it just makes property taxes higher. I absolutely still need to work to be able to put food on the table. I mean, I can probably afford to not work for a year or so, but if I live until 80+, I still have 40 years of expenses that I need to save up for. so I will need to keep working. There are also some nice things that I want to buy, like a solar panel system, which should help us lower our expenses over the longer term.
