The richest Real Housewives of 2021, net worths ranked: from Beverly Hills and Potomac to New York and Salt Lake City, every city’s wealthiest cast members revealed

The Real Housewives franchise may have started way back in 2006, but it’s only getting bigger, better and more dramatic, while many of the housewives cast members are only getting richer and richer.

This year, Bravo viewers saw the demise of NYC, the rise of Salt Lake City and a whole lot of scandal in Beverly Hills. But how do the wealths of the different cities’ housewives compare?

Here are the richest Real Housewives of 2021 …

The richest Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, season 11

When it comes to the Real Housewives franchise, it’s without a doubt that the Beverly Hills ladies lead the pack with their lavish and extravagant lifestyles. Since its debut in 2010, the reality show has featured a handful of Los Angeles’ crème de la crème that showed us how to: live in a behemoth of a Gothic mansion (Carlton Gebbia from season four), fly about on a private plane (lady boss Adrienne Maloof), go on an impromptu holiday (Erika Jayne and Lisa Rinna’s infamous Tokyo trip) and obsess over Dolce & Gabbana (looking at you, Dorit Kemsley).

However, the most-asked question by many Real Housewives fans remains: which Beverly Hills housewife is the richest? We did some digging and revealed the most recent cast’s net worths, ranked from the OG to the newbie.

Net worths ranked: the unreal wealth of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

The richest Real Housewives of Beverly Hills … of all time!

Just like the line-up of ladies has changed throughout RHOBH’s 11 seasons, so has the housewives’ wealth.

While scandal-ridden Erika Jayne’s net worth recently plummeted to a paltry US$5 million after her divorce, long-time cast member Kyle Richards has used the reality show to grow her wealth into a US$100 million empire. But many other women have come and gone as cast members on the franchise, and they continue to rake in big bucks to this day.

So who else in Beverly Hills is laughing all the way to the bank in 2021? Meet RHOBH’s richest cast members … ever.

The richest Real Housewives of Potomac, season five

Ever since its 2016 debut, The Real Housewives of Potomac has catapulted its cast of fierce and fabulous women into reality TV superstardom. The show is the eighth iteration of the popular American reality TV franchise and showcases the lives, loves, triumphs and shenanigans of a group of housewives living in and around Potomac, Maryland, an area close to Washington, D.C.

Among the franchise’s avid aficionados, the unofficial verdict is that Potomac is currently the best Housewives series on air. This well-deserved distinction is in no small part thanks to the cast’s signature sass, singular charm and effortless ability to produce some of the quickest and funniest quips in reality TV history.

But who is the wealthiest of this bold bunch of beauties? We take a look at the current cast’s estimated net worths, according to the stats nerds on the world wide web.

The richest Real Housewives of New York, season 13

Former Housewife Bethenny Frankel was regarded as the highest-earning reality star in 2011 after starring in the first three seasons of The Real Housewives of New York. Off the back of the show – which she left for the second time in 2019 – Frankel built her brand with spin-off series, books that became bestsellers, and her Skinnygirl Cocktails label.

Sadly for 2021’s season 13, the show was a disaster following Covid restrictions, a mismatched cast and dreadful antics from Ramona, and never even made it to the reunion episodes.

But the ladies from the show are still rolling in cash, so how do they rank against the women of the show’s west coast counterpoint?

The richest Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, season two

Set in the picturesque, snow-capped town of Salt Lake City, the show follows the lives of – and drama between – seven of the most fabulous and fascinating residents of the Utah capital. Though not all of the castmates are devotees of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (or Mormon church), the American state of Utah is predominantly Mormon. As such, the religion adds a singular flavour to the show, specifically in the context of the entire Housewives franchise. Besides the religion’s impact on the cast’s storylines, the show exudes the quintessential combination of drama and comedy, in turn catapulting its cast into reality TV stardom.

The Housewives appear to live the most glamorous of lives, but which of these ladies ranks on top in terms of wealth? We take a closer look at their individual estimated net worths, as calculated by the celeb watchers at The Cinemaholic.
