How Did Abby Lee Miller make their money & wealth

Abby Lee was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on September 21, 1965. She grew up in the suburbs with her parents.

When she turned 20 she was certified by Dance Masters of America.  

She joined the Pennsylvania chapter, but that distinction ended up being taken away in 2012 because the board felt that her work on the Lifetime series Dance Moms was detrimental to their image. She did not let that get her down. She continued to appear on the show until February 2017. She took a break from the series as she dealt with her legal issues and cancer treatments. She decided to return to the series for their eighth season.
