Michael Todd Chrisley (born April 6, 1968 or 1969) is an American media personality, real‑estate entrepreneur, and convicted fraudster. He is known as the patriarch of Chrisley Knows Best, a USA Network series that aired from 2014 to 2023 and chronicled his family’s lives in Georgia and Tennessee. Chrisley’s flamboyant taste, sharp one‑liners, and famously strict helicopter parenting style became signature elements of the show.

In August 2019, Chrisley and his wife Julie were indicted on 12 counts, including conspiracy to commit bank fraud, wire fraud, and tax evasion. They were convicted of all charges in June 2022. In November 2022, Todd Chrisley was sentenced to 12 years in prison. Both Chrisleys were later pardoned by President Donald Trump in May 2025.
