Carlton Geebia (RHOBH) is worth 150 million. She tops LVP
Even after the divorce?
Can’t be
She is horrible
Thought this could have been credible until I read that Yolanda has “3 daughters”.
You can’t read. 3 children who are all models. Her son is a model fool.
We gotta be honest, He Is a model because of the contact AND relations that His parent has, not because he is handsome at all !!!
You are right!
Just a side note but Dorinda and Romana wore Tinsley out about living in a Hotel but according to you she could almost buy both of them for cash. I just find that so funny. Good for Tins.
Dorinda was so jealous. She gave the poor lady hell! Tins did her thing though!
Dorinda needs to stop drinking and get some anger management! Embarrassing.
Carlton Gebbia whose net worth is an estimated $100 mil, and Adrienne Maloof, estimated at $50 mil, should definitely be on this list.
We all know that Bethany Frankle is worth a lot more than $25 K.
Spotted a mistake: Ramona is from RHONY
Not orange county
Are we forgetting Adrienne Maloof?!
So basically from this list, most of them married well. And if not for the RH franchise they would not be worth what they are worth.
What about Erica Jane?!!!
Based on what we were able to find Erika Jayne has a net worth between $5 million and $15 million. Much of her wealth was actually her husband’s (Tom Girardi). She’s still one of our favorite housewives!
Kandi also has a make-up line
C’mon guys.
Why are you “doing Adrienne Maloof like that?”
Everyone knows she is the wealthiest of all.
Don’t you remember her house. It was so much larger than Lisa’s.
