Chrisley Knows Best: Chrisley Family Is No Longer Rich Enough To Afford Luxurious Lifestyle?

As a lot has happened in the past few years, Chrisley Knows Best fans can’t help but ask questions about the family’s wealth.

A fan shared an image of the reality star boarding a Southwest Airlines flight, and that photo has caught the attention of fans and non-fans across social media platforms.

For fans who watched the Chrisleys flaunt designer clothes and luxury homes on television, the photograph was unexpected. But the question remains whether the family’s financial situation changed after years of legal trouble. Or are fans reading too much into one candid moment? Keep reading to find out what fueled the speculation and how viewers reacted.

Chrisley Knows Best: Chrisley Family’s Legal Troubles Changed Everything

The Chrisley family has faced scrutiny from the public since Todd and Julie were convicted on federal charges of bank fraud and tax evasion. Prosecutors accused the couple of defrauding Atlanta-area banks out of more than $30 million. This happened after the two of them submitted false documents. During the trial, many pointed at their fancy lifestyle, as it came under the spotlight. Authorities claimed the money from tax evasion funded their luxury cars, designer clothing, expensive real estate, and travels.

Todd also filed for bankruptcy, walking away from millions of unpaid loans. Although the couple always claimed that they were innocent, an appeals court upheld the convictions last year. Until recently, Todd was expected to remain in prison until 2032. And Julie would have been able to come out by 2028. However, President Donald Trump issued pardons to both of them, which resulted in their release.

Chrisley Knows Best: Savannah Chrisley Is No Longer Rich?

Longtime fans of the show started talking about the wealth of the Chrisleys after a fan photographed Savannah boarding a Southwest Airlines flight. The fan captioned the image, “Savannah on Southwest with me tonight,” and posted it online. After that, multiple fan communities shared the post. Southwest Airlines is widely known for budget-friendly travel, which led some fans to speculate that the Chrisleys are cutting costs after their legal troubles.

One Reddit user joked that seeing Savannah on a “regular flight” felt out of character, given the family’s image on the show. Others mocked her outfit and sarcastically said she can’t afford good clothing right now. However, not everyone agreed with the criticism of the family. Several fans pointed out that the Chrisleys have traveled with Southwest for years because of Nashville’s direct routes.

One commenter stated that the family used the airline even before prison sentences. Some supporters also called out many so-called fans. They felt others were hating on the Chrisleys just because it was the trend right now. One fan commented that focusing on one’s travel choice felt unnecessary.
