Following a first few years of success where she could be seen just about everywhere, Tara Reid's net worth may have decreased over years of controversy over partying, botched surgery and unsuccessful projects.

While she was one of America's sweethearts at the time she first made it famous, Tara Reid's net worth is not as high as people think it might be, though it is unclear whether it's a matter of her spending a lot of money in her younger years or if it's because the actress' movies have been mostly unsuccessful, except for a few iconic films.

Lately, Tara Reid's net worth has been making news as the "American Pie" actress shows off her new figure on Instagram, after she's gone through a very public battle with botched plastic surgery. Back in 2006, she spoke out to Us Weekly about having gotten liposculting before for a role in a film, which according to the actress herself "went wrong," as well as breast implants that didn't match up and made her look deformed for a time.

Throughout the years, the actress has struggled with a number of personal issues - though, unlike many other so-called troubled stars, Reid has never gotten arrested over any charge, like Driving Under the Influence nor anything of the sort. In any case, Tara Reid's net worth has come from years in the entertainment business: she made her film debut in "Saved by the Bell: The New Class," and then went on to star in movies like the Coen brothers' cult classic "The Big Lebowski," where she played the daughter of the title character.
