The Real Housewives of New Jersey
Estimated net worth: $500K
Businesswoman Jacqueline Laurita appeared on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” for several years until she departed from the show in 2017. Laurita hails from Las Vegas, where she worked in the beauty industry before becoming a reality TV star. In 2016, she helped Jenè Luciani compose “Get It! The Busy Girl’s Guide to Getting Your ‘It’ Together: A Beauty, Style, and Wellness Book”.
The Real Housewives star dabbled in acting, appearing in small roles in “Bad Parents” and “Manzo’d With Children.” Aside from her beauty books, she is also rumored to be working on starting her website and blog on the matter, called TheLookOver.com. Bravo announced the site earlier this year, but it still has yet to go live. Jacqueline recently moved back to her home in Las Vegas with her family after she cut ties with the show.

The Real Housewives of New York City
Estimated net worth: $35M
The 44-year old socialite has a background in arts and received her bachelor’s degree in art history from Columbia University, followed by a master’s in decorative arts from Cooper Hewitt. She worked as an assistant at "Vogue" early on in her career and started quickly gaining notoriety in the high society, high fashion world.
She has appeared in several magazines over the years, including "Vogue" and "Marie Claire," as well as on the covers of "Page Six" and "Virginia Living."

Lisa Hochstein
The Real Housewives of Miami
Estimated net worth: $30M
Lisa Hochstein is the wife of the famous Miami plastic surgeon, Dr. Lenny Hochstein, who is so well-known (and admired) for his work that he’s been nicknamed “The Boob God.” His website is full of models and playmates that have been to him to have work done, including model Alesandra Welborn.
But she’s got an identity of her own now, thanks to the show. Before she was Mrs. Boob God, she was a Playboy playmate. She tried her hand at acting by appearing in a 2006 film about strippers called "The Last Kiss." Hochstein was recently criticized for posting pictures of herself fleeing hurricane Irma in a private jet, but she does donate to charity on occasion.
Lydia Stirling McLaughlin
The Real Housewives of Orange County
Estimated net worth $15M
Lydia’s one of the “new kids” around the OC Housewives crowd, but she fits right in among the rest of the women. The mother of 3 was born into a wealthy family and has always lived a life with access to the more beautiful things. But the heiress has started to accumulate some wealth of her own, thanks to her jewelry line and successful magazine, "NOBLEMAN," which she and her husband operate together.
Lydia’s “old money” wealth was passed down to her from her grandfather, Geoff Stirling, who was a media mogul in Canada where she is originally from. But the photos she posts on her Instagram with her family shows that she can be down-to-earth as much as she can enjoy high society. Rumor has it that her husband wants another baby, but Lydia hasn’t given him the A-Okay, yet.
Shannon Beador
The Real Housewives of Orange County
Estimated net worth: $20M
Beador has been in the news pretty frequently lately, for some good reasons…and some bad. The California girl split with her ex-husband, David, recently and went through a pretty messy divorce. The couple share twin teenage daughters, Adeline and Stella, and another late teen, Sophie. According to "People Magazine," the Housewives star walked away from the courtroom with a $10,000/month settlement from her ex – $7,065 in spousal support and $2,935 for child support.
But that wasn’t the only time as of late that Shannon has found herself facing off with someone in court. She and costar Tamra Judge wound up defending themselves against a defamation suit filed against them earlier this year by Jim Bellino, Alexis Bellino’s ex-husband. Jim filed the lawsuit after Beador and Judge made some comments about him that he didn’t like on live TV. The women filed a countersuit, however – and won. Shannon walked away over $130 million richer.
