Real Housewives of Miami Season 7 is soon arriving on Bravo. Once this series returns, we will meet Stephanie Shojaee, our newest full-time Mojito holder in the Sunshine State.
Stephanie is rich. She also has an interesting connection to at least one member of this cast, Dr. Nicole Martin. However, Nicole stepped down from filming this season, but thankfully, she will make at least one appearance as Season 7 airs. Many of us are now curious to see how Stephanie and Nicole interact once they first meet on RHOM.
But who is Stephanie, and how did she provide the funds for that private plane featured in the Season 7 trailer? Likewise, what else does the trailer tease about Stephanie this season on RHOM? Additionally, what is her connection to Nicole? Here is everything we know.
What does Stephanie Shojaee do for a living, and what is her net worth?
Stephanie is a businesswoman who is rolling in cash. She works as a real estate developer in Miami, where she was born and raised. Her husband is Masoud Shojaee, who built the Shoma Group, a multibillion-dollar real estate firm in South Florida, from the ground up. Now, Stephanie is the President of this firm.
Here’s to women breaking ceilings in typically male-dominated areas.
According to her Instagram bio, Stephanie owns a second business, AKA the Shoma Bazaar Food Hall, located in Doral, Florida. According to their website, this food hall is “a community hub for local happenings, where an unprecedented collection of local chefs set the standard for culinary excellence in Miami.” Broken into six zones, the Shoma Bazaar Food Hall features a café alongside Americana and Asian-raw selections for purchase. They also have a Biergarten and a Lounge Bar for those more inclined to take things leisurely.
As stated in GQ, Stephanie has close connections with fashion powerhouses Dior and Hermes. She is also a rare female ambassador for Rolls-Royce in the United States, a role she often shares with her online followers. While her net worth is not listed online, GQ noted that the Shoma Group has completed over $6 billion in real estate transactions. They have also developed over 11,000 homes and condominiums, including over one million square feet of retail and office space, making their wallets likely some of the fattest in their land.
Stephanie Shojaee used to date the current fiancé of Dr. Nicole Martin
Fans are sad to lose Nicole this season. She and her fiancé, Anthony Lopez, just had their second child. Filming is stressful, as are infants and careers in the medical field. So, we understand why Nicole is sitting this one out on Bravo.
Stephanie is taking her spot as a full-time star on RHOM. However, Stephanie and Nicole have something in common. Stephanie used to date Anthony, but neither woman seems pressed, as Nicole and Anthony are solid, just like Stephanie and her husband, Masoud.
In the press, neither woman has bashed the other. Yet, when pressed for a response, Nicole stated that she understood why the network wanted Stephanie to join this series. Stephanie has a “successful business [and] marriage, [with needed showings of] opulence, and ties to the cast,” Nicole quipped, making her a “reasonable” replacement, Nicole admitted.
Likewise, in the RHOM Season 7 trailer, Nicole spoke only complimentary words about her replacement, Stephanie. She is “excited to meet Stephanie,” Nicole exclaims over lunch in the one scene featuring her likeness in this trailer. If Anthony liked them both, they must share similarities, Nicole added. And then, we see Stephanie roll up on a massive private plane, giving us a rich first impression of Stephanie.
What does the RHOM Season 7 trailer tease about Stephanie Shojaee?
In the trailer for RHOM Season 7, Guerdy Abraira lists the commonalities Stephanie and Nicole share. “She’s petite. You petite. She got a plane. You got a plane,” Guerdy jokes, as the scene shifts to show Stephanie stepping off a dark gray private plane, strutting towards an awaiting black Rolls-Royce.
But, as the trailer teases, not all is love and lavishness this season for Stephanie. She and Alexia Nepola will be at odds at some point, giving Alexia many storylines this season. As the trailer shows, Stephanie is unafraid of coming in hot against longstanding stars in this series, and this trait will likely secure her handheld Mojito for several additional seasons on Bravo.
Their fight scene starts over dinner, with Alexia asking Stephanie, “Who do you think you are?” In response, Stephanie states her full government name without even batting an eye. Alexia then states her name, which sees Stephanie beating her chest like a gorilla, chanting, “AHHHHH, I’m Alexia.”
The trailer then spirals into chaos, revealing fractured friendships and relationships throughout this cast. With multiple cast trips, including a cruise, we hope Stephanie stays hydrated. We need this newbie unparched and ready to play in the sunshine with the girls of RHOM.
