The world of cars and bikes was primarily dominated by masculinity and men. However, modern times call for a modern way of thinking. As such, women also came forward and earned plenty of fame in a men-dominated area. However, Bertha Benz did set an example by driving the first ever automobile back in 1888 when automobiles were considered witchcraft. Fast forward to recent times, there are several female television as well as YouTube celebrities who came into the limelight after entering the automotive world such as Alex Hirschi and Emelia Hartford. Christie Brimberry is another sparkling example of a celebrity who shot to fame after bagging a role in the Fast N’Loud show on Discovery Channel. However, before getting a spot on the television screen, she was directly hired by Gas Monkey Garage’s owner, Rawlings, through her knowledge of cars and her experience in managerial skills. Soon, she became a valuable crew for Gas Monkey and began handling the business department for Gas Monkey while increasing her net worth steadily.
Who is Christie Brimberry and how did she get famous?
Christie Brimberry was born on 20th March 1972 in Texas, US. Initially, she belonged to a humble and middle-class family. However, right from her childhood, she was a bit different than other kids and is still different today as well. While today's celebrities like to showcase their fame and wealth through lavish lifestyles and buying expensive things, Brimberry loves to stay under the radar. Hence, not much is known about her life before she became famous. Even to this day, she only lets a limited amount of her life be shown on social media platforms as well. She started her career like any other humble person and began landing managerial roles after several years in the professional world. Her big break came when she was directly hired by Gas Monkey Garage’s owner Rawlins. With her diligence knowledge and managerial experience, she soon became a top crew member and eventually handled the business side of the garage as well. She earned her celebrity status after her role in the Fast N’Loud car show on Discovery Channel. Currently, she works as a manager of Gas Monkey Garage while steadily growing her net worth. She also made headlines after being diagnosed with cancer back in 2016 and recovering fully.
What is Christie Brimberry’s Net Worth And What Does She Drive?
Currently, at the age of 50, Brimberry isn’t ready to stop her glorious career in the automotive world anytime soon. After being a prominent character in Fast N’Loud, the year 2022 marks the completion of a decade of her successful career. Currently, she has a net worth of around $2 million which is again still on the rise. Other than her primary role as a manager of Gas Monkey Garage, she is a co-owner of Craft & Co. and Dallas The Salon as well. Her husband, Daren Brimberry, is a hairstylist and works as Gas Monkey’s owner Rawlins’ hair stylist. As an automotive world celebrity, Brimberry is naturally expected to have multiple cars in her garage. We know that she has an interesting collection of some vintage cars but she keeps it under tight wraps and nothing is known about them. However, she also has a modified Ford Mustang, a Lamborghini Countach, and a Dodge Challenger Hellcat. Despite such cool and classy cars, her favorite is a modified Jeep TJ SUV which belongs from anywhere between 1995 and 2006.
Jeep TJ
As we mentioned that Brimberry has a Jeep TJ from the production generation of 1995 to 2006, it is finished in a subtle black shade. The SUV has been modified tastefully by Collins Brothers Jeep. The upgrades include portal axles for an even more intimidating appeal, roof-mounted off-roading lights, and a heavy-duty winch.
Ford Mustang
This is the legendary muscle car introduced back in the mid-60s and is still going on with steady feet. The Mustang is available in several models with the higher ones focused on performance. Brimberry did not reveal what type of modifications are there on her Mustang and nor did she reveal from what generation the Mustang belongs.
Dodge Challenger Hellcat
This is still the ultimate and one of the fastest-accelerating muscle cars out there. Launched around the same time as the Mustang and the Charger, the Challenger can be said to be a true muscle car even by today’s standards. The Hellcat has a supercharged V8 that makes over 700 horses.
Lamborghini Countach
The Lamborghini was the true successor of the legendary Miura and was the first proper supercar from the brand. With a naturally breathing V12 and upward-opening scissor doors, the Countach has become a collector’s car and an immortal legend.
