Was Spener Pratt (The Hills) Famous before Heidi?

So i was curious if Spencer Pratt came from a family of money or what? Whats his major malfunction He never seems to be doing anything on the show like work wise. Does he ave a claim to fame?

no, heidi was on laguna beach with lauren on the first seaosn (i think) spencer just came into the hills. booooooo! i hate him...and heidi...they're sooo gross. i dunno thats the best word that described them...although i dont know what exactly spencer does for a job...he says he has a laptop at home and that he's working...or is he...?
