The Real Housewives of New York City
Estimated net worth: $20M
It sure seems as if being a fashion guru is a requirement for making it into the Real Housewives franchise. Medley moved to NYC after college to work for Liz Claiborne and worked her way up in the industry and with major clients. She has since launched her own fashion line called DCL Cashmere.
But Dorina Medley doesn’t have to hustle for her affluent lifestyle, and she chooses to. A lot of her near $20 million net worth comes from her late husband, Richard Medley, a hedge fund manager. She also gets paid a pretty penny for every season that she appears on the show, and she’s recently been teaching 80’s, themed aerobics classes. She has been dating dry-cleaning company CEO John Mahdessian recently.
