Farrah Abraham first entered the public eye in 2009 when she was cast on MTV’s 16 and Pregnant at age 17. The show documented Abraham’s pregnancy with her daughter Sophia, as well as the tragic death of Sophia’s father Derek Underwood in a car accident. Farrah Abraham gave birth to Sophia in February 2009 and continued to share her story on MTV’s popular spinoff show Teen Mom.
On Teen Mom, audiences got an inside look at Farrah Abraham’s dysfunctional relationship with her mother Debra Danielsen. Their volatile relationship included an incident where Danielsen assaulted Abraham in 2010. Farrah Abraham saw a therapist to cope with her emotions over losing Sophia’s father and dealing with her mother’s actions. She also proved Derek was Sophia’s father after facing a legal battle with his mother over grandparents’ visitation rights.
What is Farrah Abraham’s Net Worth?
Farrah Abraham, an American aspiring model, singer, writer, and reality television star, has a net worth of $1 million. Farrah Abraham’s net worth stems from her career as a reality television star on the MTV series ‘Teen Mom’, as well as the release of a sex video in 2013.
After Teen Mom ended in 2012, Farrah Abraham dabbled in several entertainment ventures with mixed success. She released a heavily criticized pop album called My Teenage Dream Ended, along with a memoir by the same name. But she also earned an associate degree in culinary arts and started a pasta sauce line called “Mom & Me.”
Farrah Abraham then sparked major controversy in 2014 when she released an adult video with porn star James Deen. She reportedly earned $1 million from the sex tape, titled Farrah 2: Backdoor and More. The explicit career move got Abraham fired from Teen Mom by producer Morgan Freeman in 2017, who cited her work in porn as the reason.
Never one to shy away from headlines, Farrah Abraham appeared on the UK reality show Celebrity Big Brother in 2015. She became known for getting into heated arguments with other cast members and finished in fifth place in the series.
In subsequent years, Farrah Abraham filed a sexual assault report against former California mayor Dominic Foppoli as one of nine women accusing him of sex crimes. Foppoli resigned hours after reporters asked about her allegations. Abraham also made news in early 2022 when she was arrested for allegedly assaulting a nightclub security guard.
Now age 31, Abraham has firmly embraced her persona as a controversial media figure. With nearly 2 million Instagram followers and past acting credits in horror films and music videos, she continues to find opportunities on-screen and online. But her damaged relationship with her mother and volatile behavior make Abraham a polarizing celebrity known for courting conflict. Whether she has truly moved past her 16 and Pregnant days remains an open question.
