How Much Is Mariah Torres From Pit Bulls & Parolees Worth? |

According to Idol Net Worth, Mariah Torres is worth about $300,000 — and her mother has about the same, per the same outlet. So, things aren't going all that bad for them, even if running the shelter costs millions of dollars. In fact, the reality show helped save them once upon a time, according to Tia Torres, who opened the center in the '90s. She told Reality Blurred, "We were on the verge of going broke and it came down to survival. A lot of reality people, they want to become actors — we needed to eat. My kids and I literally were [getting] donated food for us to eat, from churches and whatnot, so we were getting ready to close down the rescue. I said, 'We're going to have to do this.'"

She added in the same interview that her kids would initially look forward to filming days so they could eat the catering from the production company. In addition, Animal Planet helped to cover some vet bills and dog food. "There was almost no TV show because we had nothing. All my bank accounts were overdrawn," Tia said. So the family really has come a long way, Mariah included.
