What is Lara Spencer's net worth?

Lara Spencer has a net worth of approximately $20 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Her salary is reportedly $3 million per year at GMA.

In addition to her salary with ABC, Lara is also a designer who hosted Flea Market Flip on HGTV, a show that she created to celebrate her love for home renovation and antiquing.

Her latest home improvement show, That Thrifting Show with Lara Spencer, features contestants as they are given two days and $2,000 to design a room with items found in thrift shops and flea markets. The two teams compete with each other to design the best room in the series.

Lara said that the show was inspired by her late mother, who died in February. She said that her mom was able to make a home on a "limited budget."

“When we were little, she’d take me to thrift shops and flea markets, more out of necessity than a hobby,” she recalled. "She used to say she had more kids than money. I was her youngest of six, and so she dragged me everywhere. She was a beautiful homemaker. She had great taste and a limited budget.”
