Telli Swift’s enormous net worth in 2026

Born on January 24, 1987, in Zambales, Philippines, former model Telli Swift rose to prominence in the U.S. through her appearance on the reality TV show WAGS Atlanta, which aired on E! While her relationship with Deontay Wilder brought her further into the spotlight, he wasn’t her first partner, and their daughter wasn’t her first child either. 

Telli has a son named Kerron from a previous marriage, born on April 20, 2006. After her engagement with Deontay Wilder, she launched the Boxing WAG Association, a charitable organization that raises funds for treatments, service providers, and nonprofits to support families and children.
