The richest RHONY star is worth $70 million
Landing in the 10th spot of the richest "Real Housewives of New York City" is the longest-running full-time member of the show, Ramona Singer, who The Tab claims is worth $18 million.
The Tab reports that right above Singer, with estimated fortunes of $20 million a piece, are Kelly Bensimon, Aviva Drescher, Kristen Taekman, and Dorinda Medley, all of whom are no longer featured on the show. As "Real Housewives of New York City" fans will recall, models Bensimon and Taekman left the show after Seasons 4 and 7, respectively, while Drescher was featured through Season 6 and Medley appeared from Seasons 7-12 (via US Weekly).
In the fifth, fourth, third, and second spots on the list of the richest "RHONY" cast members are Luann de Lesseps with $25 million, Jill Zarin and Tinsley Mortimer with $35 million each, and author Carole Radziwill with $50 million (via Celebrity Net Worth).
And, for the richest "Real Housewives of New York City" star of all, that title belongs to Bethenny Frankel, who is reportedly worth $70 million — primarily due to the massive success seen by her Skinnygirl brand, which includes drinks, food, and clothing. Frankel exited the series for a second time in 2019, announcing her plans following Season 11 (via Refinery29).
