Listen, you can say a lot about Kyle Richards (and I do, especially about how she gets away with murder when it comes to handling friendships on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills), but you can’t say she doesn’t collect her coin. Kyle’s various linguistically puzzling businesses (I still can’t completely comprehend Alene Too X Shahida) may have flopped before they could become household names, but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t been racking up stacks on other projects, like her recent cameo in Halloween II (the movie that she will not let a single Bravo fan on planet earth forget about). After doing some research, it’s clear that no matter what happens between Kyle and her potential ex-husband, Mauricio, Kyle will be good-2-go financially, so I have to applaud her there. Now, the question must be answered: what is Kyle Richard’s net worth? Her RHOBH salary may surprise you.
Kyle Richard’s Net Worth
Kyle’s net worth is reported to be around $100 million, but that’s combined with Mauricio’s assets and holdings from The Agency, his massively successful real estate company. How much The Agency contributes to their joint $100M estimation is unclear, but it ultimately doesn’t matter since California is a community property state. This means that theoretically, everything Mau earned while they’ve been married for the past 27 years could likely be technically 50% hers by law. Not bad for a Real Housewife.
What is Kyle Richard’s job?
Other than being an original cast member on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills since 2010, Kyle has had several clothing collaborations and brands, including a boutique in Beverly Hills called By Alene Too. That boutique has since closed, but I’m pretty sure the caftans she designed for the runway show she needed Dorit’s help with (lolz) are still out there somewhere. Kyle also does tons of brand deals on social media. If you watch Beverly Hills, it should come as no surprise that she collaborated with Western store Kemo Sabe, for example.
In the entertainment space, Kyle had a pretty legit child actor career, which led to her being soul sisters with Jamie Lee Curtis and her wind chimes. More recently, Kyle has had a couple of mini-movie roles, like a Peacock Christmas movie. She also executive produced an FX show inspired by her mother, which caused absolute chaos in the Richards family, including her sisters, Kathy and Kim, who were not happy about the short-lived series. I, personally, think Kyle’s best acting is on RHOBH when she pretends she doesn’t know what she’s doing while actively stirring the pot to punish her friends, but hey, she’s a certified hustler nonetheless.
How much does Kyle make on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?
Kyle denied a report from Radar saying she makes $500k an episode on the Bravo hit. Sooo… that makes me think she makes more than that? Camille Grammar claimed Kyle made over $100k for their first season, while the rest of the cast only made $36,000. Something tells me Lisa Vanderpump wouldn’t have stood for that, but sure! A more recent report included in Parade alleged Kyle could be making as much as $270,000 per season.
