Tila Tequila has been our radar ever since her debut way back in the early 2000s. While the star may no longer be an active member of the entertainment industry, after becoming a mother in 2014, we definitely haven't forgotten about her! Despite not having been in the limelight for quite a while, fans still recall the journey Tila Tequila went on after signing onto MTV's "A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila". Although the show was said to be fake, it still came jam-packed with drama, heartbreak, and lots of laughs.

Tila Tequila came to rise as a model but gained nationwide notoriety after her stint on reality television, which certainly boasted a number of uncomfortable television moments. The star has certainly been through a lot, but if there is one thing that remains impressive is the fact that Tila managed to amass a net worth of $500,000, and here's how she did it!

A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila

Tila Tequila has certainly left her mark when it comes to reality television, but the star wasn't always known for her MTV moments. Tila Tequila, born Tila Nguyen, was born in Singapore and moved to the United States at a year old. It didn't take too long before Tila was in the public eye and her career was underway. The star is most known for her stint on MTV's "A Shot At Love", where the star was on the hunt for "the one". Despite the MTV show being quite sketchy, fans couldn't get enough and we certainly don't blame them!

While her two seasons with MTV were successful, fans are curious as to how she managed to amass a net worth of $500,000, considering reality television back in the 2000s didn't pay nearly as much for Tila to accumulate that much money in so little time, however, she was known far before joining MTV. In 2001, Tila Tequila moved to California at 19 years old where she was discovered in a shopping mall by a Playboy scout.

Tila Tequila began her career as Playboy's cybergirl and by 2002, modeled more and more for the publication. By 2003, Tila Tequila had landed the covers for magazines including Maxim, Stuff, and Playboy before moving to television. The star hosted Fuse TV's "Pants Off Dance Off" and later landed a role in "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry". While Tila managed to make a name for herself prior to MTV, where did all the money come from?

In addition to her modeling, acting and reality TV career, Tila Tequila also had a successful career in music! The star released her first studio album in 2007 and her second album, "Welcome To The Darkside" in 2010. While she certainly reigned throughout the 2000s, Tila slowly backed away from the industry and then bowed out for good after giving birth to her first child in 2014 and her second in 2018.
