These Are Officially The Richest Real Housewives, Ranked

The Real Housewives franchise shows viewers just how the rich and famous go about their daily lives across America. Some of its cast members, though, are far richer than others. So, from newcomers like Eboni K. Williams to franchise stalwarts such as Lisa Vanderpump, join us as we explore the bank balances of these leading ladies.

Eboni K. Williams – $3 million

Eboni K. Williams is one of The Real Housewives of New York City’s newest faces – making her first appearance as a main cast member in May 2021. Before this, though, she’d had a career in law and on Fox News. Her work has seemingly been quite lucrative up to this point, as the website Exact Net Worth reports that she’s worth around $3 million.

Kim Zolciak – $3 million

People probably know Kim Zolciak best from her appearances in The Real Housewives of Atlanta and the spinoff Don’t Be Tardy. Having said that, she’s also released music and started a business selling self-care items. All Zolciak’s projects have made her a millionaire, and Celebrity Net Worth notes that she’s worth $3 million.

Jen Shah – $3.5 million

If you’ve heard of Jen Shah, then it’s pretty likely you first spotted her on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. According to cable network Bravo, it wasn’t always easy for Shah growing up in Utah with her mixed Tongan and Hawaiian heritage. That hasn’t stopped her rocketing to an impressive net worth of $3.5 million according to Exact Net Worth, though!

Leah McSweeney – $3.5 million

Another new addition to The Real Housewives of New York City is Leah McSweeney, who joined in 2020. This was probably a good move, as her fortune has increased hugely since that time. As per Screen Rant, she was worth $1 million in 2019, which more than doubled the following year. In 2021 McSweeney is said to be worth $3.5 million.

Siggy Flicker – $4 million

When the eighth season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey came to an end, it emerged that Siggy Flicker wouldn’t be returning. She’d be missing out on the show’s lucrative paychecks, no doubt, but that probably didn’t bother her too much. After all, Flicker is worth $4 million nowadays, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Shamari Fears – $4 Million

With a career in music and film, Shamari Fears has managed to amass quite the fortune over the years. And that bank balance certainly didn’t suffer after she joined The Real Housewives of Atlanta in 2018. As per Celebrity Net Worth, Fears has $4 million to her name.

Eva Marcille – $4 Million

Eva Marcille hasn’t just graced magazine covers as a model, she’s worked a lot in television, too. People may remember her from appearances in Everybody Hates Chris, Tyler Perry’s House of Payne and Smallville. Marcille also hosted shows like Hair Battle Spectacular and Rip the Runway. Thanks to all this, Celebrity Net Worth estimates her wealth to be an impressive $4 million.

Brandi Glanville – $5 million

You might recognize Brandi Glanville best from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but she actually also has a clothing line. And the star’s various ventures have earned her a lot of money over the years. As per Exact Net Worth, she has a bank balance of roughly $5 million.

Erika Jayne – $5 million

Erika Jayne has released some popular songs, but the star is still probably known more for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She showed up in the show in 2015 and used it as an opportunity to show off. Jayne once claimed with pride that she burns through $40,000 each month by buying clothes. But with $5 million to her name, according to Celebrity Net Worth, that’s no problem.

Kathy Wakile – $5 Million

Kathy Wakile’s main source of personal income comes from The Real Housewives of New Jersey, but her spouse is also a successful businessperson. The appropriately named Rich reportedly works in real estate and gas, so that probably helps with Wakile’s own wealth. As per Celebrity Net Worth, she has $5 million in the bank.

Dina Manzo – $6.5 Million

Dina Manzo rose to fame in 2009 thanks to The Real Housewives of New Jersey, which she starred in for the first, second and sixth seasons. Oh, and the TV personality also appeared in the fourth season. Besides the show, though, Manzo also has a career as an interior designer and businesswoman, plus she had her own reality show between 2012 and 2014. Taken together, all her ventures have proven to be extremely lucrative, and Celebrity Net Worth notes that she’s worth $6.5 million.

Vicki Gunvalson – $7 million

Before The Real Housewives of Orange County, Vicki Gunvalson ran her own insurance company. Though it was a starring role in the reality show that brought her a vast fortune. While on the program, the website Wealthy Genius reports that she earned half a million dollars a year, which has all added to her total wealth of $7 million.

Garcelle Beauvais – $8 Million

Before recently joining the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Garcelle Beauvais had found fame and fortune in acting and modeling. She’s been in catalogs and magazines, plus plenty of popular TV shows and movies. All her work has led her to amass a fortune worth $8 million.

Overall, the star’s various ventures have brought her a tremendous fortune worth $8 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Lisa Rinna – $10 million

Lisa Rinna started her career in show business as an actress, but acting wasn’t exactly the star’s passion.

I just wanted to be famous and was going to do whatever I had to get there.” After joining the reality show, she found both fame and fortune. As per Celebrity Net Worth, she’s now worth $10 million.

Michaele Salahi – $10 Million

Michaele Salahi has often found herself embroiled in scandal. In 2009 she and her then-husband managed to gate-crash a dinner at the White House. It made headlines at the time, which was good practice for 2011. That year Salahi was involved in a highly publicized extramarital affair. Her scandals haven’t dented her bank balance, though, as Celebrity Net Worth puts her wealth at around $10 million.

Joyce Giraud de Ohoven – $10 million

With a career in modeling and acting, Joyce Giraud de Ohoven has managed to accumulate around $10 million, according to Uni Fresher. And that’s before her husband’s wealth is taken into account. He’s a multi-millionaire in his own right, so between the two of them they presumably have no trouble paying the bills!

Caroline Manzo – $12 Million

Teddi Mellencamp – $12 million

Together with her husband, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Teddi Mellencamp is worth around $12 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Shannon Beador – $20 Million

Shannon Beador made a name for herself on The Real Housewives of Orange County, which she joined in late 2013. The salary was presumably more than comfortable, but her reported $20 million fortune may also have been helped by husband David. He runs a lucrative construction business, after all.

Jill Zarin – $20 Million

Jill Zarin had already made a fortune by the time she’d become a cast member of The Real Housewives of New York City in 2008.

Nowadays, Celebrity Net Worth claims that Zarin is sitting on a cool $20 million.

Kelly Bensimon – $20 Million

Adrienne Maloof – $50 Million

Adrienne Maloof apparently earns $200,000 for every season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills that she does. She doesn’t exactly need that salary, though, because of a stake in her family’s business, which has interests across a variety of sectors. With all her sources of income combined, Celebrity Net Worth estimates that Maloof is sitting on around $50 million.

Margaret Josephs – $50 Million

Of all the stars of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Margaret Josephs is thought to be the most wealthy. She is, after all, estimated to be worth around $50 million in total, according to the U.S. Sun. The bulk of this vast fortune has come from her fashion line, which she set up in 1999.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kemsley tied the knot with her husband Paul “PK” Kemsley in 2015. Together, the pair sit on top of a vast fortune which Celebrity Net Worth claims is around $50 million.

Camille Grammer – $50 Million

In addition to her appearances on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Camille Grammer has worked as an actress, model and dancer. But that’s not exactly how she managed to amass what Uni Fresher claims is a $50 million fortune. That largely came from her divorce in 2011, which reportedly left her with $30 million.

Before appearing on The Real Housewives of New York City, Carole Radziwill had already forged quite the career.

Heather Dubrow – $50 Million

Heather Dubrow apparently has a whopping $50 million to her name. Some of that is from her starring role on The Real Housewives of Orange County, which she was in between 2012 and 2016. But a lot of that wealth comes from her spouse, who works as a plastic surgeon.

Bethenny Frankel – $70 Million

According to Cosmopolitan, Bethenny Frankel made a total of $6 million from appearances in Real Housewives of New York, but that doesn’t scratch the surface of her fortune. Mostly thanks to Frankel’s business Skinnygirl, she has amassed an absurd fortune of $70 million. Her company sells an array of products including cocktails, books, clothing and meat.

Lea Black – $85 Million

Together with her attorney husband, Celebrity Net Worth puts Lea Black’s wealth at a dizzying $85 million. She runs her own business in the beauty industry and has also written a book called Red Carpets & White Lies: A Novel. She’s also a podcaster, so her role on The Real Housewives of Miami between 2011 and 2013 is but a footnote in a glittering career.

Lisa Vanderpump – $90 Million

Not only is Lisa Vanderpump one of the richest stars of the Real Housewives franchise, but she’s up there with the top earners in all of Los Angeles. She and her partner oversee a business empire, with a collection of bars and restaurants to their name. It all means that Vanderpump is worth around $90 million, as per Cosmopolitan.

Kyle Richards – $100 Million

All of this means that she’s worth somewhere close to $100 million, according to the U.S. Sun. Her $500,000 yearly salary on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills would have been a drop in the ocean compared to this!

Carlton Gebbia – $100 Million
