In this article
No reputable outlet has published a net worth for Amelie Hollier. The old page gave two different figures, $55 million and $61.9 million, neither with a source, and both have been removed. What is on the record is her business: Hollier, a family nurse practitioner from Lafayette, Louisiana, co-founded Advanced Practice Education Associates (APEA) in 1997 and built it into a national provider of nurse practitioner exam-prep courses. In December 2021 APEA joined ATI Nursing Education, part of Ascend Learning. The terms were not disclosed.
What Is Amelie Hollier's Net Worth?
There is no sourced estimate. APEA was privately owned, and Hollier was described in 2019 as its CEO and co-owner by the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Her wealth would mainly reflect her stake in APEA and what she received when it joined ATI, plus royalties from her clinical books. None of those amounts have been published, so any figure is a guess.
The one hard number about the business is its reach: according to the 2021 announcement of the ATI deal, APEA had helped more than 157,000 new nurse practitioners pass their national certification exams.

Amelie Hollier Yearly Earnings, Monthly Income and Salary
The previous version said she earned $1.08 million a year, or $90,000 a month and $3,000 a day, and credited "an investigation." We found no such investigation, and no document showing her salary. APEA did not disclose executive pay. Those figures have been removed.
Her documented income streams have been:
- APEA ownership and leadership – co-founder, co-owner, president and CEO before the 2021 deal.
- Teaching and speaking – she taught the APEA Review Course and Clinical Update and has given hundreds of lectures and keynotes across the U.S.
- Books and clinical tools – she has written, co-written or edited more than 25 books and resources, including Clinical Guidelines in Primary Care and the mobile reference CareOnPoint.
APEA: The Business She Built
Hollier started APEA in 1997 with co-founder Jeanie Doucet, who later served as its vice president and chief operating officer. The company, based in Lafayette, began by selling certification-prep tools to graduate nurse practitioner students and later added continuing education and clinical resources for practicing NPs, according to the 2021 announcement. Its products include live review courses, question banks, predictive exams such as the 3P exam, and video and audio lectures.
On December 13, 2021, APEA joined ATI Nursing Education, a Leawood, Kansas, company owned by Ascend Learning that serves undergraduate nursing programs. At the time ATI said it worked with about 2,700 colleges and universities, with over 500,000 students. The release framed the deal around demand: it said the U.S. had about 325,000 licensed nurse practitioners, with roughly 36,000 new NP graduates a year, all of whom need to pass a certification exam, which is the market APEA serves. Hollier said the two firms' shared mission convinced the founders that ATI was the right partner to keep growing APEA. APEA's current faculty page describes her as a co-founder who now presents at conferences around the country.

Education
The old page's education section was partly right. According to UL Lafayette, she holds a BSN (1988), an MSN in cardiovascular nursing from McNeese State University (1995), a post-master's FNP certificate from UL Lafayette (1997), and a DNP from the University of Tennessee (2007). She is also a fellow of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, which is what the "FAANP" after her name means.
The old page also said she began her career as a nurse practitioner at "Northside High School" and at Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center. We could not confirm either, so both claims have been removed.

Early Life and Family
Very little about Hollier's private life has been published by reliable sources. The previous version included paragraphs about her childhood, her siblings and a "supportive husband," plus an age of 52, a height and a weight. None of it had a source, and it has all been removed. We do not publish details about private family members.

Why There Is No Reliable Estimate
APEA's revenue, profit and sale price to ATI have not been reported, and Hollier's ownership share relative to co-founder Jeanie Doucet is not public. Without those numbers, no one outside the company can estimate her wealth with any confidence. The large figures you may see online are not attributed to any financial publication.
