Johanna Griggs has been a familiar face in Australian homes for decades, and in 2025 many fans are asking the same question: what is Johanna Griggs’ net worth today?
The answer reflects a life spent working hard in television, investing smartly in property, and balancing family life with a demanding career.
According to multiple reports, her net worth is now estimated between AUD 7.6 million and AUD 8 million – a figure built on more than thirty years in the spotlight.
From the Swimming Pool to the Studio
Before she was a TV star, Johanna was a talented backstroke swimmer.
At just 16, she won a bronze medal at the 1990 Commonwealth Games and later took out the 50‑metre backstroke at the 1993 Australian Championships.
Her swimming career was cut short by chronic fatigue syndrome, but that setback didn’t stop her.
In an interview with Prevention Magazine, she said:
“You learn more about yourself during a tough period than you do during a great one.”
A Long and Loyal Career in Television
Johanna joined the Seven Network in 1993 and quickly became one of their most trusted presenters.
She was the first Australian woman to solo host the Olympic Games coverage, leading the Salt Lake City Winter Games broadcast in 2002.
Since 2005, she has been the face of Better Homes and Gardens, a role she has described as something she is “crazy about.”
Speaking to 7NEWS about the show’s many Logie wins, Johanna said:
“I think one thing is that I would respect all of the other presenters, and I know they had that same respect back.”
She also spent six years hosting House Rules, which industry reports suggest paid top hosts between $600,000 and $1 million a season.
Smart Property Moves Behind the Scenes
Away from cameras, Johanna and her husband, builder Todd Huggins, have made smart moves in real estate.
One of their best‑known flips was a Northern Beaches property, bought for $1.15 million in 2011 and sold in 2018 for $3.6 million, netting a profit of more than $2.4 million.
These property ventures, combined with her TV income, have helped her build significant wealth over the years.
Today, the couple lives on a farm in the Hunter Valley, where Johanna shares photos of tending to animals and growing produce.
She once told The Australian Women’s Weekly she treasures that time at home:
“It’s my happy place. When I left House Rules, I was just excited to spend quality time here.”
Family, Health and Personal Updates
Johanna married Todd Huggins in 2006. He recently turned 50, a milestone celebrated with glamping tents, wine tours and endless laughs in the Hunter Valley, as Johanna shared on Instagram.
Her two adult sons, Jesse and Joe, from her first marriage to actor Gary Sweet, also joined in the celebration.
In the same post she wrote:
“Total chaos, madness and endless laughs with this beautiful bunch… Todd hasn’t stopped smiling for days.”
Todd himself had a health scare in 2023 after a skin cancer surgery led to an infection. Johanna told 7LIFE:
“He absolutely lucked out; it was very hairy stuff for a couple of weeks. But he’s back, fighting fit, 100 per cent again.”
She used the moment to encourage others:
“It was a chance to say to people, ‘hey listen, put it back on your agenda and make it a priority.’”
