With a reported net worth of $2 million, Tara Reid certainly doesn’t have to worry about finances. However, considering she’s perceived as such a poster child for early aughts celebs gone bad, how exactly is she still making money?
In 2013, Reid starred in a “so bad it’s good” comedy that put her on the map again: Sharknado. “It’s like a cult film,” the actress dished to The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s amazing to me what happened with this little film. It still blows my mind away. It really does.” Sure enough, the gag movie was definitely a hit, as it expanded into a franchise and produced five more flicks.
It seems like aging has helped the New Jersey native find work, too. “I’m finally getting to play older roles,” Reid gushed to Celebretainment, revealing that she’s working with Sandra Bullock for one flick, and Netflix for another. “That’s what I needed because I was kind of stuck. I looked too young to play the ‘mom’ yet I was too old for a ‘high school girl.'” What’s most surprising is that now, the blonde actress shows no signs of stopping. As she proudly told Mirror, “I am a fighter and now everything has turned around. I have 13 movies I am working on now… my whole world has changed.”
