After news of his divorce, you may be wondering what Ant Anstead’s net worth is. Well, the TV presenter doesn’t make as much as his ex-wife (or her other ex-husband), but that doesn’t mean that he didn’t walk away from their marriage without a ton in the bank account for himself.

Ant and Christina married in October 2017, months after she split from her then-husband and Flip or Flop costar, Tarek El Moussa.

The TV presenter (more on his job later) also shares daughter Amelie and son Archie with his first wife, Louise Herbert, whom he was married to from 2005 to 2017.
In an Instagram post in September 2020, Christina confirmed that she and Ant had separated after less than two years of marriage. “Ant and I have made the difficult decision to separate. We are grateful for each other and as always, our children will remain our priority. We appreciate your support and ask for privacy for us and our family as we navigate the future,” she wrote on her Instagram at the time. As for what went wrong, a source told People at the time that the couple started to have issues in their relationship after they welcomed their son. “After the baby, they started having conflicts,” the insider said, adding that christina felt “lonely and unhappy.”
The source continued, “Christina found it difficult to balance everything…Their marriage was struggling.”

His car building skills also led to Anstead creating unique art pieces and sculptures, many of which are housed in museums and private collections.

In 2017, he came the new cohost of Wheelers Dealers. So, yeah, the man knows his cars.
