They were facing bankruptcy last year after blowing their $10million fortune.
But it seems Heidi Montag and her husband Spencer Pratt have no intention of embracing austerity.
The couple wasted no time splashing out on a Ferrari - albeit a rented one - just days the 24-year-old blonde signed on to appear in a new reality TV show.
The attention-loving couple stopped in at a high-end car showroom in Los Angeles where they shared a quick kiss before zooming off in their new wheels.
They then went to a jewellery store where they also rented some sparkling pieces.
Montag is back in employment for the first time in many months and the pair were clearly eager to celebrate in lavish style.
She was seen filming with The Bachelor's Jake Pavelka and Real Housewives of New Jersey star Danielle Staub over the weekend.
The reality TV alumni will be tasked with opening a restaurant in 28 days for the unnamed upcoming VH1 series.
They are revamping a restaurant from the ground up,' an on-set tells America's People magazine.
It is not clear if Pratt, 27, is currently employed in any capacity.
Heidi has been vocal about her regret at blowing the couple's fortune and nearly having to file for bankruptcy.
The over-the-top pair splurged on crystals, luxury cars, Heidi's plastic surgery and a failed pop album and owed millions in back taxes.
Her addiction to plastic surgery saw her undergo ten plastic surgery procedures in one day, transforming her forever from the fresh-faced young woman who had first appeared on the show.
At one stage they had to move into a guest house at Pratt's parents' home after struggling to pay the rent on their $35,000-a-month Malibu mansion.
They even admitted to faking their split last year because a British television network were interested in documenting their break-up.
Montag's troubles with husband Pratt saw her lose her spot on The Hills and she has been trying to stay in the spotless ever since.
