Here's How Much Money Say Yes To The Dress' Randy Fenoli Is Actually Worth
He's made numerous brides' dreams come true thanks to his celebrated work on Say Yes to the Dress, Randy's Wedding Rescue, and in the legendary New York bridal store, Kleinfeld Bridal, but Randy Fenoli has also made a considerable fortune during his time both in and out of the spotlight.
After all, Say Yes to the Dress episodes now number in the hundreds, and Fenoli was a well-regarded fashion designer prior to his TV debut back in 2007. Not just anybody can work their way into the hearts of households the world over; it takes a special kind of magic, of which Fenoli clearly has an endless supply.
The Say Yes to the Dress star knew exactly what he wanted to do
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Fenoli first became a designer all the way back in 1992, but has been sewing since he was 9, and eventually won the Miss Gay America competition in 1990 by doing his own hair, make-up, and fashion looks. The soon-to-be reality mega-star utilized his prize money to enroll in New York's Fashion Institute of Technology, where he studied fashion design. These days, he's the fashion director of Kleinfeld Bridal, which is where he got his big break.
Say Yes to the Dress quickly made Fenoli a household name, with spin-off Randy Knows Best, which launched in 2011, further solidifying his position as the go-to expert for busy brides searching for the perfect wedding dress. He earns around $3 million annually for both shows, telling Wedding Ideas in an interview that women are his main inspiration and explained, "I love when the gown matches the bride's personality and style."
Randy Fenoli knows what he's worth
It's worth noting, too, that Fenoli is no slouch when it comes to capitalizing on his fame. As he told The New York Times, he can easily earn $20,000 for a personal appearance, which is certainly far more appealing than the typical 9 to 5 job. There's also his reliably stunning line of affordable bridal gowns to consider, which are sold through Kleinfeld, naturally. Everything combines to make Fenoli a seriously wealthy man, with Celebrity Net Worth putting his current net worth at $8 million.
Appearing on a talk show back in 2016, as recapped by the Irish Independent, the design guru offered his best advice to budding brides. "Choose the dress that makes you feel the most beautiful," Fenoli advised sagely. "Because when you feel beautiful, it doesn't matter what you're wearing. It's not about the dress. It's about how you feel in that dress."
