Shantel VanSanten was born on 25 July 1985, in Luverne, Minnesota USA, of Norwegian and Dutch descent, and is a model and actress, known from being a part of various highly popular television series, such as “One Tree Hill” and “The Flash”. She’s also been featured in numerous high profile publications.

The Wealth of Shantel VanSanten

How rich is Shantel VanSanten? As of mid-2018, sources estimate a net worth that is over $5 million, mostly earned through success in modelling and acting. She’s also been involved in film projects, and has even appeared in music videos. As she continues her career, it is expected that her wealth will also continue to increase.

Early Life and Career Beginnings

Shantel’s family moved to Spring, Texas USA, where she was raised. She would be educated at the all-girls college prep school Incarnate World Academy located in Houston, and after matriculating, she attended Texas Christian University located in Fort Worth. Her career began early in her life, as she started modelling at the age of 15, signing with Page Parkes Management.

She would gain a bit of recognition when she appeared as a finalist in the “Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit Model Search” reality television series, but was eliminated. In 2007, it was reported that she would appear in the film adaptation of the novel “t.A.T.u Come Back”, in which she starred alongside Mischa Barton, which was later renamed internationally as “You and I”, being released in the US a year after its premiere in Russia. In 2009, she had a role in the film “The Final Destination”, which is the fourth installment of the horror film franchise.

Further Work – One Tree Hill, The Flash, and Others

During the same year, VanSanten was offered a role as a series regular in the television drama series “One Tree Hill”, which she subsequently joined during the show’s seventh season, portraying the role of photographer Quinn James, the sibling of Bethany Joy Lenz’s character. She would stay with the show until the series ninth and final season, the story following the lives of two half-brothers and the drama from their romances. Shantel then became a part of “Something Wicked”, which was the last film to feature the late actress Brittany Murphy.


In 2012, VanSanten was cast in the film “Golden Christmas 3”, in which she appears alongside Mark Famiglietti and Nikki DeLoach, and afterwards became a part of the series “The Messengers”, although it was short lived, being cancelled after one season. During the second season of “The Flash”, she was given the role of Patty Spivot for five episodes for the show, who was the new protegee of Detective Joe West, and she would also become the love interest for the main character Barry Allen, played by Grant Gustin. One of her latest projects includes the drama series “Shooter”, which is based on the film of the same name.

Personal Life and Relationships

While Shantel does her best to keep a lot of her personal life away from the eyes of the media, she has been known to date a few celebrities in the past. She’s had relationships with Michael Johnson and Robert Buckley, as well as a short lived relationship with actor James Lafferty, who was her co-star in “One Tree Hill”. In 2016, she had a relationship with British actor John Fletcher who was her co-star in the short lived “The Messengers” series. However, she is still officially single.


According to an interview, Shantel enjoys writing, and her dream is to travel the world and write about it. She is skilled at various sports, including volleyball, track and field, jet-skiing, flag football, badminton and softball.

1Why the heck do we allow the media to ever tell us someone is gross? It makes me so mad. 99% of the world has flaws.
2I did a Clean & Clear commercial. I did a series of them. I used to be the Clean & Clear girl!
3I am happiest when I'm sitting on my parent's couch, with the fireplace on and talking to my family.
4I went to an all-girls' school with 43 people in my class, so dances were small. I always went with girlfriends or a blind date.
5Kate Hudson is my style icon.
6When I was in the eighth grade, I wrote this huge long paper about how I had no idea what I was gonna do with my life, but that I wanted to make a difference and touch even if it was like one person's life... inspire them.
7I was 17 when my body started changing, and I worried about what I did wrong. I went through a period where I didn't eat at all. I also had someone who was encouraging me to take diet pills. I pushed myself to the extreme because I woke up one day and had hips - and a butt - and thought, 'Oh my gosh, I'm getting fat!'
8If you believe in yourself, somebody will find you that believes in you just as much, if not more.
9For a long while, I was really against Twitter. I mean, who cares if I'm in an airport or had broccoli for dinner?
10For me, having Greek yogurt and some granola is the perfect start-up breakfast because it has many benefits. Its filling, healthy and gives me energy to start my day.
11I modeled from the time I was 15 until I was 20.
12I would want to travel the world and write about it. To be a famous writer.
13When I'm on set filming One Tree Hill (2003), I get up and work out four to five days a week.
14Our bodies are exploited so much in the media, I feel like everyone is made to feel like they're not worthy or beautiful.
15Being on a television show and having so many fans is something that I've never experienced before, and it's really neat when they come up to you and are like, 'That storyline is amazing and really spoke to me in my life,' and it's really cool. I really enjoy it.
16Despite my mother saying I have been destined to be an actress my whole life, I remember being the kid who grew up not knowing what I wanted to do with my life.
17My style is dependent on my moods, so I feel like it's all over the place.
18The minute you feel secure about yourself and own the fact your dreams are honest true, other things fix themselves.
19I'm, like, super-clumsy and weird and funny and dorky.
