Todd was raised in Georgia alongside his brothers Derrick and Randy, by their mother Faye and their father Gene Raymond Chrisley. He grew up dreaming about becoming a millionaire, and worked various jobs during his teenage years. Todd studied at a local high school, and was physically highly active during his four years there, playing both football and basketball. He matriculated in 1987, and then chose not to attend college, however, he’s today encouraging children and teenagers in general to attend college, and three of his five children have enrolled at prestigious universities.

It’s believed that Todd made most of his initial wealth with his involvement in the real estate business. He once owned Chrisley Asset Management; it was founded in 2002, and closed in 2008 due to the property market collapse. A year or two prior to the premiere of his show “Chrisley Knows Best”, Todd filed for bankruptcy, and was at that point $50 million in debt.

In 2019, he was charged with tax evasion and fraud, and was ordered to pay around $110,000.

Besides “Chrisley Knows Best”, Todd has produced and starred in a couple of other shows.
