What Is Hilary Farr's Net Worth? The 'Love It or List It' Host Is Also an Actress

The Gist:

• Interior designer Hilary Farr is best known for co-hosting HGTV's Love It or List It.
• She has an impressive net worth that reflects her various projects over the years.
• In December 2023, she announced she was leaving Love It or List It.

When it comes to HGTV's Love It or List It, the premise is pretty simple: People have to decide if they want to stay in their current house or sell it. The choice itself may seem like an easy one, but there's so much that goes into making a home truly yours, and memories can make you want to stay. But sometimes people just want to move, or they feel like the renovations aren't enough to stick around for — and they choose to sell.

For 17 seasons, interior designer Hilary Farr — who's got decades of experience in her back pocket — was the one on the show who handled all the renovations. Though she announced her exit from the series in December 2023, she's got a ton of other projects going on — and a large net worth to show for it.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Hilary is worth $8 million. Although many people know her for co-hosting Love It or List It alongside David Vistentin, she is also the president of Hilary Farr Designs. According to its website, the brand has furniture, rugs, bedding, lighting, and more "with a mission to make decorating fun and easy." The line is inspired by Hilary's travels, with motifs including exotic animals, trees, and even Icelandic glaciers.

Plus, Love It or List It is not Hilary's only experience in front of the camera. According to her IMDb, she appeared in various roles in movies and TV shows throughout the 1970s and 1980s including The Rocky Horror Picture Show. And in 2022, she appeared in the holiday film Designing Christmas alongside Gossip Girl alum Jessica Szohr.

Hilary — who was born in Toronto and raised in London — moved to LA after university and began buying and renovating homes.

But Hilary's work wasn't just in LA. In her HGTV bio, it says that she's renovated houses all over the world including in Australia and the United Kingdom. In 2008 she moved back to Toronto, where she joined Love It or List It.

And in 2021, she launched another HGTV show — Tough Love with Hilary Farr — about working alongside families who need some "tough love" when it comes to making improvements in their homes.

Ahead of its premiere, we talked to Hilary about the show, which she said "[goes] deeper in terms of emotional elements."

As she explained exclusively to Distractify at the time: "We can get in some sticky areas. If something is happening that is very emotional, we can actually really dig layers into that. On my show, we also had fun being able to really have me spread my wings and explore and share things that I love to do and things that I've never done."

After 258 amazing episodes, Hilary announced that she was moving on from Love It or List It. On Instagram, she asked fans to "stay tuned" for what's next for her.

“It's been a wonderful 12 years," she also said via a press release. "I'm so grateful to the network for their support and to my fans who have stayed loyal and true. David and I will remain friends forever and I expect him to be as fabulously and hilariously annoying as ever."

She added: "Love It or List It has had such a true impact on so many lives, including mine, but now it’s time for me to embrace new challenges that have come my way. If this is my legacy, it's a great one."

Her hilarious partner in crime, David, had this to say: "Working with Hilary has been a wild, unforgettable ride. I’d like to forget the mountain of ‘love its’ but hey, she’s a talented lady."

"Although we were rivals on the show, we became quick friends and share countless memories both on and off set," he added. "I look forward to continuing that friendship and wish her all the best in everything she does.”
