Polly Brindle has an absolutely whopping net worth and not all of it was made Selling The OC
That's one serious portfolio
Polly Brindle went from teen model in the north of England to luxury realtor closing multi-million-dollar deals in Newport Beach, so naturally, people are crazy curious about just how much she’s worth right now.
With Selling The OC back on Netflix, her glam lifestyle, designer wardrobe, and steady stream of high-end listings have everyone wondering how much of that cash is reality TV smoke and mirrors and how much is real, hard-earned wealth.
Spoiler: Polly was already doing nicely before she ever rang that O Group bell on camera.
A quick rundown of Polly’s career

Polly grew up in the north of England and was scouted as a model at just 15, kicking off a two-decade career in fashion.
She worked for major brands including Lancôme, Dior and Aston Martin and spent years living and working in European fashion capitals like London, Paris, Milan, Barcelona and Hamburg, which is where her obsession with architecture and design really started, per Reality Tea.
In 2011, she moved to Los Angeles with her then-husband, swapping grey skies for West Hollywood sunsets. While she was finding her footing stateside, Polly did a bit of everything, waitressing at the Sunset Tower Hotel and taking small acting roles in projects like The Glass Man and Rush under the name Polly Furnival, according to Bustle and Good to Know.
Behind the scenes, she was also building a serious resume. Her O Group bio states that she worked as a Senior Business Manager for a luxe apparel brand and then in management at a boutique architecture firm, which meant high-end clients, design-led projects and lots of contract negotiations long before she ever sold a house.
During the pandemic, she finally pivoted into real estate, qualifying as a California agent in 2021 and joining The Oppenheim Group’s new Orange County office.
On Selling The OC, viewers have watched her quickly become one of the more established agents in Newport Beach, closing deals like a $2.7 million Balboa Island property with a commission reported at around $81,000 for that sale alone.

Polly hasn’t publicly confirmed a number herself, but multiple outlets have tried to crunch it. Early estimates put her at about $1.5 million, based largely on her long modelling career and early real estate work, per Radio Times.
As Selling The OC has taken off and her property portfolio has grown, more recent reports generally land higher.
Several sites now place Polly around the $2 million mark, with others, like The Tab, suggesting a broader range of roughly $2 to 3 million.
It’s safe to say Polly’s wealth is not just Netflix money.
Those 20-plus years in fashion, high-end brand campaigns across Europe and steady work in business and design gave her a serious financial head start before reality TV ever came calling.
The show has boosted her profile, but her income still mainly comes from commissions on luxury listings in Orange County, plus any off-camera brand and partnership deals she chooses to take on.
