Tori Spelling is synonymous with many things: 90210, Aaron Spelling’s daughter, and being super skinny. But few would categorize her as a businesswoman. But, over the past few years Tori Spelling has done a great job at excelling in the world of business and making a name for herself as an entrepreneur. She came into the Forbes studio do an interview with me about the business ventures she’s involved with.

As the mom of two young children, Tori Spelling has her hands full constantly. She always wants to make sure that her children learn life’s lessons every day. On the topic of money, Tori was very candid. She told me she will make sure she teaches her children how to handle money, how to make great investments, and how to handle a checkbook.

“I had a very luxurious life, a life of wealth. Unfortunately, my parents really didn’t discuss money with us. We weren’t taught how to handle money. So when I started to make my own money on 90210, I didn’t know about savings, I didn’t know about investments. I had to learn the hard way. I had to go from having everything, to making it on my own, to losing everything, and then having to rebuild again the right way, but the smart way.”

Tori Spelling put rumors of marital trouble with hubby Dean McDermott to rest this morning on Today as she hyped the fifth season of her reality show, Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood, premiering tonight on Oxygen.

“We’re just like any other couple. We have our ups and downs…. We’re not perfect.” But she said, “We’re not headed for divorce,” Spelling, 36. “We’re committed to each other, we’re committed to this family. But you know, we work on things just like everyone else.”

She talks about it right around the 3 minute mark:
