Candice Olson Net Worth $10 million
While studying at the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada, Candice was also active in sports – she was a professional volleyball player and played under the colors of Canada’s National Women’s Volleyball Team. Later, she relocated to Toronto where she attended Ryerson University’s School of Interior Design from which she obtained her Bachelor of Science degree in interior design. After spending several years within various design studios, crafting her skills and talents to perfection, in 1994 Candice founded her own architectural firm – Candice Olson Design, focusing on commercial as well as residential interior design. All these engagements provided the basis for Candice Olson’s, nowadays, rather impressive net worth.
However, the real breakthrough in Olson’s career occurred in 2001, when she began her on-camera career, debuting as a host of W Network’s reality show “Divine Design”. The show, which follows step-by-step renovation of client’s estate by Candice and her team of skilled workers, rapidly gained huge popularity, and in 2003 began airing in the USA through HGTV, acquiring an audience of over 90 million people. Doubtlessly, this achievement helped Candice Olsen to add a significant sum to her net worth.
In January 2011 “Candice Tells All” began airing in both Canada and the US. In this half-hour show, which aired ’til 2013, Candice takes a detailed retrospective of all her previous works and renovations, guiding viewers through her signature designs and makeovers, pointing their “ins-and-outs”. Apart from this professional aspect, the show also provided the audience with some details of Candice’s private life. It is certain that this venture contributed a lucrative increment to Candice Olson’s net worth.
Since 2013, Olson has featured on another HGTV interior design show – “Makeover Manor”. Besides all those ventures already mentioned above, Candice has also released two books so far, entitled “Candice Olson on Design: Inspiration and Ideas for Your Home” (2006) and “Candice Olson: Kitchen & Bathrooms” published in 2011. She has also marketed a line of uniquely designed products for home decoration, simply named The Candice Olson Collection. All these accomplishments have dramatically helped Candice Olson to further increase the total of her net worth.
When it comes to her personal life, Candice Olson is married to builder Jurij Sennecke, with whom she currently resides in Toronto, Canada, with their two children.
