Lauren Conrad
Lauren Conrad was first seen on the reality show, Laguna Beach, before graduating and moving on to the sequel series, The Hills. When 2009 came around, Lauren wasn’t able to see herself as taking part in another reality TV show. So, she steered her career in another direction. Despite the fact that she was the highest-paid cast member on The Hills, Lauren knew career longevity in reality TV is uncommon. Instead, she’s gone on to write a successful book series as well as designer clothing.
