The Real Housewives of New York City
Estimated net worth: $50M
Radziwill is an esteemed journalist, whose career in media started with ABC, back in 1985 in the city, where she worked as an intern on “20/20”. She went on to cover some hot topics and immerse herself in some risky situations to get a good story. During the Gulf War, she reported on the SCUD missile attacks from Iraq. She’s won multiple Emmys for her work, including one for a story she did on Cambodian land mines.
Radziwill married her late husband, Anthony, in 1994. The couple worked at ABC together when they started dating. Anthony passed away in 1999, which prompted Carole to leave the journalistic lifestyle and write a memoir of her life. She published “What Remains: A Memoir of Fate, Friendship, and Love” in 2005, which wound up on the “New York Times” Best Seller list. She has since written a novel and signed up for a regular column in “Glamour.”
