While Todd Chrisley is currently serving time in a federal prison in Pensacola for bank fraud and tax evasion, a deeper look into the family’s property portfolio has sparked a wave of speculation. During their years in the spotlight, Todd and his family flaunted their wealth, often showcasing their luxurious homes and elaborate lifestyles on social media and reality TV. But the truth behind those homes appears far more complex—and some argue, intentionally obscured.

The Chrisleys’ Real Estate Secrets Come to Light

Questions about Todd’s property empire first surfaced when fans noticed a peculiar pattern: many of the Chrisleys’ homes were not purchased in Todd’s name. Instead, they were often registered under the names of family members, particularly daughter Savannah Chrisley. Some of these properties were eventually sold, creating significant profits—yet Todd’s involvement seemed curiously absent on paper.

The first of these revelations centers around the Franklin House. Savannah Chrisley purchased this home in October 2016 with a $250,000 down payment on a property valued at $681,800. In April 2024, she sold the home for $1.25 million, netting an astonishing $700,000 in profit. Observers on Reddit and other fan forums quickly speculated about why such a valuable property was listed under Savannah’s name rather than Todd’s.

Next is the sprawling white mansion on Exton Lane. Julie Chrisley purchased the property in April 2019, making a $1.2 million down payment on a $3.37 million home, taking out a $2.145 million mortgage to cover the balance. Following the couple’s prison sentences, the home was sold in April 2023 for $5.2 million. While the sale brought in a massive windfall, the property still carries a $17 million restitution lien—fueled by the couple’s legal battles. Some fans speculate that the profits from this transaction could go toward satisfying part of that lien, though exact details remain unclear.

Todd Chrisley’s Name Missing: A Strategic Move?

Fans and analysts alike have been puzzled by one consistent pattern: Todd Chrisley’s name is conspicuously missing from the ownership documents of these properties. Even the family home on Lynwood Boulevard—currently occupied by Savannah, her children Chloe and Grayson, and part of the Getha Trust—was purchased by Julie in December 2016 for $1.6 million with a $220,000 down payment, before being transferred to Savannah’s name in 2020.

Some insiders suggest that Todd’s absence from the deed may be linked to his financial history. The Chrisley patriarch has previously faced bankruptcies, which could complicate his ability to hold property in his name without triggering legal scrutiny or asset seizures. Others argue that Todd may have deliberately structured these purchases to protect his family from government claims, ensuring that, even in the event of legal action, the Chrisleys would retain a degree of financial security.

“Given the legal battles Todd has faced, it’s not uncommon for wealthy individuals to put properties in the names of family members or trusts,” one real estate expert noted. “It can be a way to maintain family assets while limiting personal liability.”

Fans Weigh In: Reddit and Social Media React

Finally, there is the Worcester House. Savannah purchased this home in July 2021 for $2.45 million, paying $600,000 as a down payment and taking on a mortgage approaching $2 million. Reports suggest that Todd’s son, Chase Chrisley, may reside there, though some fans believe he is living elsewhere in Florida. Once again, Todd’s name is noticeably absent from the paperwork—a detail that has fueled speculation about asset protection strategies.
