How Much Money Do the Property Brothers Make?
Jonathan and Drew Scott are all over HGTV, hosting several shows where they buy, sell, renovate, and redecorate homes. You simply can’t miss them-and all that ubiquity means they’ve had a ton of financial success over the years.
The Scott brothers were entrepreneurs from a young age, according to USA Today. They started their first business, making and selling decorative hangers, at just age 7. (They called their business JAM Enterprises, which stood for Jon, Andrew, Mom.) After that, they worked as clowns for the local parks and recreation department, and then got into acting. They starred in the Canadian TV series Breaker High, and they individually had small roles on TV shows like Smallville, where Jonathan was Tom Welling’s body double, and The X Files. And at some point in the ‘90s, they both worked as mall cops, Drew told US Weekly.
But then, they caught the real estate bug. They assumed the mortgage and paid a $250 down payment on a $200,000 house, flipped it, and made a $50,000 profit. They realized it could be a profitable business, so Drew became a real estate agent, Jonathan studied real estate design, and they worked on their company, Scott Real Estate. Jonathan even spent time designing illusions for magicians, according to Glamour.
Drew was the first to get an offer to host a show, a Canadian project called Realtor Idol that never got off the ground. But that defunct show led the show’s producers to develop Property Brothers. These days, they help people buy and renovate houses on their several Property Brothers shows on HGTV, from Buying and Selling to Brother vs. Brother to Drew’s Honeymoon House.
They also design furniture and home decorations through Scott Living, make new shows and movies through Scott Brothers Entertainment, where they collaborate with their brother JD, and work on their digital startup GuruHub.tv. They have also co-written two books.
And that's not all! Apartment Therapy notes that they hosted a Carnival cruise back in 2015, and even tried their hand at a singing career. Drew even appeared on a season of Dancing With the Stars.
Drew and Jonathan clearly keep busy, and all their activity has led them to some impressive bank accounts. Though only their accountants know for sure, Celebrity Net Worth estimates their net worth to be a combined $20 million. And that number is only set to climb, The Hollywood Reporter notes, because HGTV just signed a multi-year deal with the siblings, ensuring there will be many more Property Brothers episodes to come.
