She’s the ‘Queen’ of Palm Beach, so let’s get to know Members Only multi-millionaire Gale Brophy
Apparently, she knows everyone and is a true icon
Palm Beach runs on rules… no boobs and knees, apparently… guest lists, and the kind of connections that feel like a secret language.
Enter Gale Brophy. She’s the woman Members Only: Palm Beach positions as a true power player, with the poise of old-school society and the confidence of someone who’s seen every social season come and go.
She’s not one of the core five, but when Gale’s in the mix, the energy shifts, like, “Okay, everyone sit up straighter” vibes.
Gale is a multi-millionaire

Gale’s wealth story isn’t just “married rich, stayed rich,” she has serious business credentials.
On LinkedIn, she describes herself as the sole owner and CEO of Estates By Brophy, a hospitality company offering two five-star estate getaways in the Catskills geared toward corporate retreats and luxury escapes.
Those estates are very much her brand. We’re talking private, upscale, and built for big moments… think weddings, reunions, and all-out weekend takeovers.
The Estates By Brophy site also frames her as an entrepreneur and philanthropist, with a long resume across New York and Palm Beach circles.
Translation: Gale isn’t just “rich,” she’s operating.
She’s been a Palm Beach socialite for decades

Netflix’s Tudum doesn’t mince words. Gale is described as a Palm Beach socialite for decades with a “coveted Rolodex of everybody who’s anybody.”
That’s the kind of line that basically screams: if you want to get into the room, she’s either opening the door… or quietly keeping it closed.
On the show, she’s also positioned as a friend and mentor to Rosalyn Yellin, even “passing the baton” as Palm Beach’s”queen,” complete with a tiara moment and a very Gale quote about how “royalty” works in America.
But, because reality TV must reality TV, not everyone accepts her authority without side-eye.
Tudum notes other cast members question who “crowned” her in the first place, which, honestly, is exactly the kind of petty power debate this genre lives for.
Yes, she has a Kentucky Derby win in her history

If you’re thinking, Wait… is that Kentucky Derby Gale?! The answer is yes.
Gale describes herself on Instagram as a Kentucky Derby winner, as the co-owner of 1991 winner Strike the Gold.
Tudum backs up the Derby detail too, noting she was a Derby winner in 1991.
For extra horse-world context, BloodHorse confirms Strike the Gold won the 1991 Kentucky Derby and lists the winning ownership group as “Brophy, Condren, Cornacchia.”
So it turns out that this is a real flex, not just a cute anecdote for cocktails.
Her queen role is about influence, not just money

What makes Gale interesting TV isn’t just the lifestyle, it’s her sheer leverage.
Netflix‘s Tudum says she “allegedly has ‘dirt on everyone'” and is in something called “The Book of Legacy.”
Is that literal? Metaphorical? A dramatic nickname for society’s mental spreadsheet? The mystery is part of the fun and very on-brand for a show built on hierarchy.
