HGTV's Battle on the Beach season 2, which premiered on June 5, features design rivals Taniya Nayak (Restaurant Impossible), Ty Pennington (Rock the Block), and Alison Victoria (Windy City Rehab). Moreover, these renovation experts have carried out several home projects on their shows, mainly contributing to their net worth. Ty Pennington has the highest net worth of $12 million among the three.

Battle on the Beach features the three experts coaching three amateur renovation duos. These teams will have to perform everything- from house painting to wood cutting and ultimately flip a wretched house into a beachside getaway.

The official synopsis of the Battle on the Beach reads:

The star experts will mentor three new teams of house flippers who complete weekly renovation challenges with the goal to add the most value to their home and win a $50,000 grand prize toward their next flip.
