The Real Housewives of Orange County” is the trailblazing O.G. of Bravo’s Housewives franchise. Since 2006, it has dazzled fans with its glimpse into the opulent lives of Orange County’s elite. From palatial estates to designer wardrobes, the current cast is definitely living large. But who among them has the biggest bank account? With net worths ranging from thousands to tens of millions, the numbers might surprise you. Let’s break down the wealth of RHOC’s leading ladies and see who’s sitting on the biggest fortune.
RHOC Veterans are Cashing In
Both Shannon Storms Beador and Tamra Judge are RHOC mainstays, and they absolutely hold their own in the Housewife wealth stakes. Per Celebrity Net Worth, Beador has a fortune fueled by her Bravo salary ($583K in season 13), her Real for Real wellness brand, and her divorce settlement from ex-husband David Beador. Her net worth is reportedly $20 million.
Tamra Judge is the longest-serving cast member after Vicki Gunvalson (who was a guest in season 18). Judge has an estimated $3 million net worth, with reports of her per-season salary ranging from $325,000 to $900,000. Her reality TV career outside of RHOC includes the spinoff “Ultimate Girls Trip” and the popular Peacock series “The Traitors.”
Judge’s business ventures include Vena CBD, which she co-owns with husband Eddie. She also revived her real estate career in 2020 with the luxury real estate agency Agent Inc.
Heather Dubrow’s Multimillion-Dollar Empire
Topping the RHOC wealth chart is Heather Dubrow, who boasts a jaw-dropping $70 million net worth. An “RHOC” cast member since 2012, Dubrow’s fortune stems from more than her eight seasons on the Bravo reality show. Known as Heather Paige Kent in the ’90s, she starred in sitcoms like “Jenny” and “That’s Life.” She later made guest appearances on “Hot in Cleveland” and “Hawaii Five-0.”
Her husband, Dr. Terry Dubrow, is a celebrity plastic surgeon who starred on E!’s “Botched.” Together, they’ve built a beauty empire with Consult Beaute skincare and Consult Health supplements. From acting to entrepreneurship, Dubrow’s diverse ventures make her the undisputed queen of RHOC riches.
Newer RHOC Faces, Smaller Fortunes
Newer RHOC stars have brought fresh energy to the show, but more modest bank accounts. Emily Simpson is a lawyer who became a cast member in season 13. She has an estimated net worth between $900K and $2 million. She earns $20,000 per episode of RHOC, and also makes money from her copyright law practice.
Gina Kirschenheiter, who also joined in season 13, has a $500,000 net worth. Her earnings come from her Bravo salary, her CaraGala skincare line, and her real estate career.
Jennifer Pedranti joined the cast in season 16, and she reportedly has a $2 million net worth.. Her wealth is tied to her Devi Rebel Yoga studio in Rancho Santa Margarita, which offers Bikram and vinyasa classes.
However, according to RadarOnline, the estimate of Pedranti’s net worth may be a bit too generous. She reportedly had financial struggles during her divorce and reported a monthly income of $1,166.66. She had to rely on her boyfriend, Ryan Boyajian, to help with expenses.
Emily Simpson, a lawyer and cast member since Season 13, has a net worth of $900,000 to $2 million, boosted by her $20,000-per-episode Bravo salary and copyright law practice.
Season 18 newcomer Katie Ginella does not have a reported net worth. But her TeeShots beverage brand and golf reporter background — plus her marriage to “Golf Advisor” editor-at-large and Golf Channel host Matt Ginella — have given her a luxe lifestyle.
Season 19 of “The Real Housewives of Orange County” premieres on Thursday, July 10, on Bravo.
