The Real Housewives Net Worth
Ever wonder who's the richest housewife and who is just faking us out? If you're obsessed with The Real Housewives franchise like I am, you will love this!
We aren't surprised that Adrienne Maloof is top dog when it comes to cash, but her closest competitor, Lisa and Ken Vanderpump are only worth half of what Maloof is! I was surprised that Kyle and Mauricio Umansky come in at a lush third with a net worth of $120 million since their home is so modest. It's a sensible choice though! Muhamed Hadid's $100 million is enough to make the top four (and to build a sex dungeon in his home). The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills firmly rests at the top of the wealth pyramid out of all of the housewives franchises.
It was difficult not to place Bethenny Frankel at the top of the pyramid, after selling her Skinny Girl line for $100 million plus two years ago, you'd expect to find her there, but alas, her net worth is only $55 million and climbing. Lea Black is the wealthiest Miami housewife-- combining her assets with those of her attorney husband. Had Kelsey Grammer and Camille Grammer not divorced two years ago, perhaps they'd have found a seat at the front table. Princess Carole Radziwell has certainly earned her own way in life, but after her Polish Prince passed away, she was left with his fortune. Yolanda Hadid Foster fared well after her divorce from Mohamed Hadid, but the $30 million in net worth from her composer husband, David Foster, is what edged her into the number two bracket of net worth among housewives.
Hedge fund CEO, Reid Drescher helped to move his wife to $40 million in net worth. LeAnn Rimes, wannabe housewife- sometimes husband thief, sits comfortably at $38 million. Jill and Bobby Zarin's impressive $35 million isn't enough to make Jill the wealthiest New York housewife, but just don't remind her that Bethanny's ahead of her. Cristy Rice is the second wealthiest housewife from the Miami franchise, while Kandi Burress's $35 million in net worth places her $20 million above the next closest Atlanta housewife in terms of net worth. In fact, Kandi and Porsha are the only Atlanta housewives with REAL money. Alexia Echevarria is a Miami based businesswoman!
Most of Marisa Zanuck's net worth comes from her husband, director Dean Zanuck. High school sweethearts, these two probably don't have to worry about splitting their funds any time soon. Lisa and Lenny Hochstein's fortune is definitely built upon implants and injections, but this couple has fared well. Kelly Bensimon is one of four 20-millionaires from the housewife franchise. Lori Waring Peterson struggled in the first few seasons on The Real Housewives of Orange County, but married rich and divorced richer. Kim G, or Kim Grantell from The Real Housewives of New Jersey sits at the top of the Jersey net worth food chain as the last 20-millionaire on the list.
Porsha and Kordell Stewart prove that marrying well is almost as good as being rich to start with. Although she's 20 million dollars less in net worth than Kandi Burress, we don't see another Atlanta housewife for ten million or so. Melissa and Joe Gorga are always screaming that sister Teresa Giudice is jealous of their wealth. With an net worth of $15 million, they may have a point. Romain Zago, Miami based millionaire, proves he is net worthy of his luscious girl friend, Joanna Krupa. Dr. Paul Nassif is unlikely to pad his net worth after his divorce is finalized from top dog Adrienne Maloof, but his $14 million's not too shabby. Miami millionaire Marysol Patton works hard on the show, and her bank account shows it. Long gone, but not forgotten, former Miami housewife, Larsa Pippen's net worth is basketbally.
Peggy Tanous of The Real Housewives of Orange County often pointed out that former friend, Alexis Bellimo was jealous of her money. She may be right. The majority of Dina Manzo's net worth comes from Brownstone co-owner and husband, Tommy Manzo. However, having just filed for divorce this week may change that! I expected Dr. Terry and Heather Dubrow to be around the $50 million mark in net worth, but at $12 million, I wonder how the hell they can afford one of the nicest homes owned by a housewife and her husband. Meh...I still adore them. Eddie Cibrian falls well below wife LeAnne Rimes's $38 million, but it's unlikely that he's spending his own cash while holed up with her. Remember DanaWilkey? She had the diamond encrusted lollipop holder and the ridiculously expensive sunglasses.
Welcome to the $10 million club! There are only four members: Host Andy Cohen, RHONY Heather Thompson, and Miami firecrackers Adriana DeMoura and Mama Elsa.
Dwight Eubanks== $5.5 million dollars in net worth! Can you believe it?
You must wonder what Dwight does besides walking around, fabulously saving event after event for the Atlanta ladies. He's opened several successful salons and a beauty school! Does this mean he paid for Miss Sheree's affair? I bet he did!
I'm not sure how Jacqueline and Chris Laurita are holding on to the $5.5 million spot. blk water is being sued, and they've not hidden the fact that the economy has hit them hard. Miami dentist, Karent Sierra is quite the catch at $5 million. It's hard to believe that Kim and Kroy Bierman pulled themselves up by their fingertips to reach the $5 million spot, but rest assured, the majority (3.5 million) of the net worth comes from Kroy's lucrative football career. Loads of people love the 'real' Rich and Kathy Wakile on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, but if you google them, you'll find a story where they demand free clothing. Sigh. Can't ya just buy your own if you're worth $5 million?? Brandi Glanville didn't quite meet the $5 million mark YET, but with book deals and the best 40 year-old body I've ever seen, this spunky mom from Beverly Hills deserves every dollar.
Remember Lynne Curtain from The Real Housewives of Orange County? Remember when her teenage daughter was served with their eviction notice and they lived out of hotels, and she started selling those cuff bracelet atrocities? Well, I do too, so I'm dumbfounded how she made it to the $4 million mark. NeNe Leakes-- well known for her quote, "I'm rich, bitch." isn't too impressive at $3.5 million. Even tardy for the train wreck-- Kim Zolciak earns more. Faye Resnick-- the official pour-some-gas-on-the-fire-girl impressed me with her $3.5 million dollars in net worth. You go on with your trouble-making self! Joanna Krupa of Miami is one of the loveliest housewives and has earned her money through modeling and similar gigs. Unfortunately, google her name and the pics that come up are mostly half-naked. Gretchen Rossi DIDN'T make out when her elderly fiance, Jeff, passed away. However, she's fighting her way up the ladder on her own! Danielle Staub is worth $3 million? Does that mean she's been on her knees three million times earning every dollar? Oh, no...I forgot...divorce settlement.
Alex McCord is worth about $400,000, but hubby Simon van Kempen pulled his wifey up. Since they often stress about money, I was surprised to see their net worth so high. Miss Phaedra Parks! Only $2 million? No wonder she has so many gigs going. LuAnn de Lesseps fell down the net worth ladder when she divorced her count husband. Poor Kim Richards...some reports say she's worth $1 million, others said $2 million. (We put her at $2 million in case she peeks...don't want to shake that jar of marbles.)
Two Gone With the Wind fabulous Atlanta housewives!!
Four Orange County Housewives were kicked in the face by the bad economy and/ or divorce. Jeana Keough, Tamra Barney, Alexis Bellino, and Tammy Knickerbocker have all seen better days. So much for Vicki Galvenson's accusation that Tamra's only with Eddie Judge for his money-- she out earns him! Lest we forget Kim De Paola, owner of Posch boutique on The Real Housewives of New Jersey...she makes a modest $500,000.
Here come the bottom-feeders...it's a mixed bag of nuts...
Lisa Wu Hartwell's Atlanta football paying hubby couldn't play anymore and we watched them lose their home and move into a spider infested bachelor pad her husband once occupied. Taylor Armstrong-- her intro said she fought too hard to stay in her zip code to leave now...with only $100K in net worth, maybe she SHOULD leave. Jo de la Rosa...remember that tart? It's okay if you don't. She's melted back into struggling actress-bartender-model-singer. Slade Smiley. What exactly does he do? Oh-- hold Gretchen's purse. How can Cynthia Bailey only be worth $50,000? Surely that's wrong. Sheree-I'm-building-a-chateau-Whitfield has 50K to her net worth...unimpressive. Sonja Morgan! How I hate to have you among the bottom feeders! This baby girl surely has a house or two tucked away...but it matters not-- she'll fight her way back up the net worth ladder! Quinn Fry-- the skunk-highlights wearing, Bible thumping, pool-boy shagging divorcee from Orange County. Her net worth is so small that no one reports it. If you don't remember her, don't strain your brain-- you'll never hear of her again. Derek J...another unknown net worth. At least I actually SEE him working, so I'm sure he has an income. Peter Thomas-- restaurateur, Atlanta businessman and who knows what else. Some sources cite $100,000 as his net worth. Some list $3 million. Since it was a mere season or so ago that he was borrowing MORE money off of his girlfriend, I'm betting it's less than $100,000. Lawrence Washington...unknown Atlanta hair dresser and aspiring singer. My mother pointed out that you have lumps all over your neck. I hope you wear a bag when you shag!! Teresa and Joe Guidice...not even the shadiest lawyer would risk combining their net worth together. Talk about a financial mess...court hearings, arrests, almost auctions in their home, bankruptcy...good luck!
