We bet these two are glad TikTok is back from the dead!
In a new interview with Variety on Friday, Spencer Pratt revealed just how much money he’s made from fans on TikTok after losing his home in the LA fires! Heidi Montag‘s proud husband shared that thanks to generous viewers, they’ve collected $20,000 on TikTok Live, which allows fans to donate directly to his family. Whoa! That was all collected in the past week, too. He gushed:
“So that’s phenomenal, and life-changing. That’s the power of individual supporters, people just backing you and getting behind you. And that’s the most powerful when you don’t have to rely on ads or AI and algorithms when just actual human beings just want to give. It’s unbelievable and incredible.”
Amazing!

He’s also been posting TONS of content on the platform since the devastating tragedy, which has helped him earn $4,000 from the app in the past week, as well.
Of course, fans are streaming Heidi’s music like crazy to help out, getting her to the No. 1 spot on the iTunes charts. While he knows streaming isn’t very lucrative — compared to merch or touring — unless the artist is “doing billions of streams,” he’s still appreciative because of the “energy and opportunities that come from” the renewed attention. With that in mind, he’s starting to ramp up production on Superficial T-shirts and reaching out to companies for other paid partnerships for additional sources of income. Plus, he wouldn’t say no to sharing his family’s journey on a new reality show if a production company was interested. They’re hustling!
As for trolls claiming they’re “rich” and will “be fine” despite losing everything, he previously said on TikTok that “everything we have worked for was in this house.” They’re starting from scratch, and that is not easy! But how lucky are they to have such supportive fans?! Truly incredible.
