The series won the Kids’ Choice Award for Favorite Reality Show in 2013, then later the same year she starred in ‘’Dance Moms Christmas Special’’, all contributing significantly to Mackenzie’s net worth.

Mackenzie made her modeling debut in 2015, walking for the Polo Ralph Lauren Runway in New York City. Shortly after that, she started a campaign video for Glamour Magazine, so her modelling no doubt adds to her net worth.
