Todd and Julie Chrisley secretly sold one of their Tennessee properties months after they were jailed for fraud and tax evasion.
The couple, best known for their reality TV show “Chrisley Knows Best,” were sentenced to a combined 19 years and ordered to pay $17.2 million in restitution for their crimes. New reports suggest the pair are moving behind the scenes for extra cash, possibly to pay compensation fees.
Todd & Julie Chrisley Sell Stunning Tennessee Mansion For $5.2 Million
Todd and Julie report to their assigned prison center in January 2023 but may have begun planning to sell their Tennessee home before or after their incarceration. The couple made the property deal off the market, so the sale of the property in August 2023 went unnoticed.
The convicted couple reportedly bought the 13,279-square-foot Brentwood mansion in 2019 for $3.375 million. The home features a stunning architectural design with a host of luxuries, including an indoor sports court, a spacious swimming pool with jacuzzi and a professional chef’s kitchen.
Todd made the property headlines in 2022 when he served a house arrest sentence at the mansion following his guilty plea to tax evasion and bank fraud. According to real estate records, the new owner of the Tennessee home bought the place for $5.2 million.

As noted, Chrisley’s chiefs owe $17.2 million in restitution for their crimes, and profits from their real estate deal could be used to pay off some of their debt. They also have another stunning property in Nashville, but it is unclear if they have sold that home, according to TMZ.
A source previously said the convicted couple could sell their Nashville property in 2022 following their guilty pleas. The couple have two homes in the area, which they claim will bring in $9 million in profits to cover their restitution fees. In individual words:
“They will have to give up many things, including their homes, sadly. They won’t be able to afford it, but their main concern now is their children, especially their youngest.”
With leader Chrisley in prison, their younger wards – son Grayson and granddaughter Chloe – were placed in the care of their eldest daughter, Savannah. The former beauty pageant contender addressed her new responsibilities in an episode of the “Unlocked” podcast.
Savannah says it was painful to see her parents go through fraud and tax evasion trials, but nothing hurts more than knowing her parents will no longer be by her side. “I know that the short term will be very difficult, and I may go home without both my parents,” he admitted, adding:
“That’s the opportunity, that’s the possibility, and that’s my new normal. I came home on Tuesday, and I had custody of the 16-year-old, I had custody of the 10-year-old, and we spent our first Thanksgiving, not as a family.”

Savannah insists that she will support her parents and their “innocence” because she knows what they “have done and haven’t done.” He claimed his family would “continue to fight and file appeals” before pledging to be the best guardians for his new ward.

Todd & Julie Bag $1 Million Settlement In Lawsuit Against Tax Officials
The Chrisley couple reached an important milestone in their lawsuit against the taxman. The two called out the state Department of Revenue’s former Director of Special Investigations, Joshua Waites, for wrongdoing in 2019.
Todd and Julie’s attorney, Alex Little, announced the couple’s victory against Waites. He noted that they received a $1 million settlement from the state of Georgia, claiming this vindicated his clients’ year-long claims about issues in their criminal cases.
“We have been saying for months that the criminal case against the Chrisleys is very unusual and has real problems. This settlement is an encouraging sign,” Little declared, noting that “it is almost unprecedented for one side of the government to pay money to defendants while the other side fights to keep them in prison.”
In their lawsuit, Todd and Julie Chrisley accuse tax officials of “specifically targeting” them. They claim Waites’ accusations are “a shocking example of how an unruly public servant can abuse his position and violate the rights of innocent citizens for reasons that have more to do with getting publicity and money for his office than enforcing the law.”
