- Despite controversies and legal issues, Dance Moms stars have found success in acting, music, and business endeavors.
With so much reality TV out there, it can be tough for a new show to stand out from the crowd, but Dance Moms proved otherwise! From the moment that the pilot premiered in July 2011, people were fascinated by Abby Lee Miller and her talented team of dancers.
Although the focus was always on the kids, viewers couldn't help but love the petty drama between the mothers. While the show is no longer on the air, fans still get to watch eight incredible seasons thanks to streaming. The girls have since moved on from the show, but their fame and fortune made from it certainly have not.
So, who is the richest girl from Dance Moms?
