The Real Housewives, Ranked by Net Worth

Unless you’ve been living under a rock since 2006, chances are you’ve heard about the Real Housewives. These infamous women have been causing scenes and blowing money in just about every major city in the country now. They’ve earned a reputation for being some of the fakest women around because of their fake tans, fake lips, and even a few suspicious Louis Vuitton’s. 

However, while some of these gals have allegedly been called out for buying knockoffs, a few buy the biggest bags they can find to hold all that cash they’re carrying around. That’s right, you heard it here first! Not all housewives were created equal when it comes to that account balance. 

Now, don’t get us wrong. Most of these individuals have more than enough even though they don’t have the most. But sometimes it’s good to know who’s the poser and who’s the real housewife. Real, as in really rich! Fun fact, it’s not always the ones you’d expect.  We’re ranking the Real Housewives from riches to royalty based on net worth!
