Tarek’s estimated net worth is higher than Heather’s
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Tarek El Moussa’s estimated net worth is $15 million. He has been a part of HGTV shows for a long time. The California-based real estate agent is popularly known for his HGTV series, Flip or Flop, which he started with his ex-wife Christina Haack.
Tarek also ran his real estate firm, The El Moussa Group, based in Orange County, California. In 2009, he married his first wife Christina, and the two later became parents to two kids — Taylor and Brayden.
