Although Colt “I’m not made of money” Johnson has become a mainstay in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, he’s been unlucky at finding love so far. Both of Colt’s relationships with his Brazilian exes (former besties Larissa Lima Dos Santos and Jess Caroline) have been dramatic, giving the TLC show some of its most memorable moments. Now, Colt is taking a leap into the world of dating again, with the Discover+ show, 90 Day The Single Life, (SPOILER ALERT) and reports suggest that he got engaged. There are also reports that suggest he has more money than he’s let on.
Colt and Larissa were an odd couple who met online, and they appeared on 90 Day Fiancé season 6, where they fought often. While Colt being close to his mother Debbie was always a problem to Larissa, she also disliked the way that he refused to spend a lot of money on her. Fans saw a glimpse of Colt being stingy when he drove around in a car without air conditioning in the Las Vegas heat, later claiming he couldn’t afford to buy Larissa a car she wanted. However, not too long after the 90 Day Fiancé couple’s divorce, Colt splurged on a Mazda that could have easily cost him around $37,000.
When Colt was first introduced to 90 Day Fiancé fans, he revealed his day job to the cameras. The Nevada resident was then working as an R&D software engineer for a gaming company. As reported earlier, Colt probably earned anything between $72,000 – $97,000 a year in that position. Colt, being Colt, never really mentioned how hefty his bank balance actually was, but he lost his software engineering job as soon as the pandemic hit.
On 90 Day: The Single Life, during the speed dating session that Colt attended, he announced that he was unemployed and staying with his six cats and his mother, Debbie. The red flags were enough to turn off any potential suitor of Colt’s, but he eventually revealed that he still harbored feelings for his long-time crush and best friend with benefits, Vanessa Guerra. While Vanessa was seen rejecting Colt yet again over coffee, it is rumored that the couple is now engaged.
Considering the fact that Vanessa was once his roommate, she may know the real facts behind Colt’s notoriously miserly ways, not to mention his joint bank account with Debbie. Additionally, Colt recently shared that he wants to work in real estate. Colt may not be ready to do real estate yet, but he’s still got some cash. His estimated net worth is $500,000.
Considering Colt must be getting a good chunk of his income from his recurring 90 Day Fiancé franchise appearances, he probably had to spend a lot during his divorce, and had also shelled out cash for Larissa’s visa, clothing, engagement ring, and immigration expenses. While Colt may soon be getting married for the second time, it is safe to assume he won’t let Vanessa wear a dress from Goodwill? “I have some savings but not a lot. I’m angry and disappointed in myself,” is what he claimed when he lost his job (he’s reportedly found a new one now), but maybe he was downplaying his wealth.
90 Day Fiancé airs on Sundays at 8pm on TLC.
