Reality TV star, Todd Chrisley has recounted how he became a “slave” to money and material things before he was found guilty of bank fraud and tax evasion.
Speaking during the most recent episode of his podcast, “Chrisley Confessions,” the 53-year-old reality TV star said he allowed fame get to his head, which pushed him into making some questionable decisions.
He said “I got lost when I couldn’t tell the difference in my self-worth and my net worth.
“And the bigger my net worth became, the less I focused on my self-worth because everything was being built around that net worth. Around stuff.”
He further disclosed that because he wanted “to keep up with everyone” around him, he began purchasing “all these cars and all these houses.”
He said “You become a slave to the things that you thought were going to bring you peace. So I got lost in that and for my whole life because I think I was too ignorant — and when I use the word ignorant [I mean] I [didn’t] know that I understood how to differentiate self-worth and net worth.”
The Chrisley patriarch noted that in time he “finally realized” that his priorities were out of whack with what he really wanted.
