Which of the icons on Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip is the richest?

Season two is finally here


The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip season two finally drops on Peacock tonight, and from the looks of the trailer, this season is going to even more wild than the first.

The spin-off Housewives series first came out last year and featured a number of the original cast members from various Housewives series all coming together for a trip in the Turks and Caicos. Whilst last season had women who were still on their respective shows such as Kyle Richards and Teresa Giudice, season two will feature only Housewives who have now left their shows, and some we haven’t seen for a very long time.

Season two features Taylor Armstrong, Brandi Glanville, Phaedra Parks, Eva Marcille, Tamra Judge, Vicki Gunvalson, Jill Zarin, and Dorinda Medley. The eight women will be based at Dorinda Medley’s iconic Bluestone Manor in the Berkshires and the first two episodes drop tonight.

The season two cast features some truly iconic Bravo ladies, but who is the richest of all them? These are the net worths of the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip season two:

8. Taylor Armstrong – $500,000

First up is Real Housewives of Beverly Hills original cast member Taylor Armstrong. Taylor joined the show in season one, before departing as a series regular at the end of season three, after a number of difficult storylines aired, including the reveal of the domestic abuse she suffered from her husband, Russell, who died by suicide after the second season of the show ended filming.

Taylor has become a household name after she was included as one of half of the woman yelling at cat meme. However her internet fame hasn’t necessarily translated to massive wealth.

Taylor has an estimated net worth of $500,000 although some sites estimate it’s closer to $2.5million. Taylor’s money will have come from her time on Beverly Hills, where she was said to earn $175,000 per season. However during season three of the show it was revealed Taylor was dealing with Russell’s bankruptcy which will have made a significant dint in her overall net worth.

7. Tamra Judge – $2million

Next up is Real Housewives of Orange County icon Tamra Judge who joined the show in season three before leaving at the end of season 14.

Tamra is estimated to have a net worth of $2million, with a big chunk of this wealth coming from her earnings on the show. On her first season of Housewives she was paid just $7,000, however by the end of her time on the show there were reports she was earning nearly a $1million per season.

She’s also made money from her gym with husband Eddie, and her CBD wellness brand.

6. Eva Marcille – $4million

Eva Marcille was a Housewife on the Real Housewives of Atlanta for two seasons beginning in season 11 and she is estimated to have a net worth of $4million.

She may only have been a Housewife for two seasons, but that hasn’t stopped her from making a lot of money.

Eva originally became famous for winning season three of America’s Next Top Model, her modelling career and later acting career with roles in shows like The Young and The Restless, and Tyler Perry’s House of Payne, will have likely made her a lot of money.

Eva has also a CBD business which will help her income.

5. Brandi Glanville – $5million

Brandi Glanville is a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills legend who joined the show in 2011 and was fired after the fifth season.

She is estimated to have a net worth of $5million and is said to have been paid $174,500 per season of Beverly Hills. Brandi has also made her money from appearances on other TV shows including Celebrity Big Brother and Famously Single.

Brandi has written two books, the first of which became a New York Times bestseller, and she has a weekly podcast called Brandi Glanville: Unfiltered which has been running for nearly ten years. On Instagram Brandi will also make money from various sponsored posts and adverts she does.

In 2015 Brandi was sued for defamation by Real Housewives of Miami cast member Joanna Krupa for comments she made on Watch What Happens Live! Joanna won the case and the lawsuit was settled for $500,000 which will have put a dent in Brandi’s bank.

4. Phaedra Parks – $6million

Next up is Southern belle Phaedra Parks who joined the Real Housewives of Atlanta in 2010 and was fired after season nine.

As we all know from Housewives Phaedra does a lot of jobs – she’s a lawyer, mortician, and reality star, all of which will have added up to give her a net worth of $6million.

Phaedra lives with her sons in a house said to be worth $3.7million which will also contribute heavily to her assets.

3. Vicki Gunvalson – $7million

Vicki Gunvalson is the longest reigining Housewife on this Ultimate Trip season, she was one of the original cast members of the Real Housewives of Orange County in 2006, before departing after season 13.

Vicki is said to have a net worth of $7million which in part comes from years on the Housewives where it was estimated she was paid $500,000 by the end of her time on the show.

She’s also likely to have added to her her millions with her insurance company and her $2.69million mansion will also contribute to her overall net worth.

2. Dorinda Medley – $20million

Coming in at second place is New York Housewife Dorinda Medley, who joined the show in 2015 and was fired in 2020.

Undoubtedly her role on Housewives will have contributed to her net worth, where she was said to be paid $250,000 per season, but Dorinda was still making plenty before that.

She began her career with her own cashmere company in London, which sold to famous clientele including Princess Diana and she eventually sold the company.

Dorinda’s second husband, financier Richard Medley, died in 2011 and it is believed he left Dorinda a substantial amount of money when he passed away.

1. Jill Zarin – $20million

And the richest of all the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip season two is New York Housewife Jill Zarin. Jill is an original New York Housewife who was fired after season four.

Jill has made her impressive fortune from the show and working with her deceased husband Bobby Zarin at his fabric store in New York. After Housewives Jill started her own home decor company called Jill Zarin Home.

After Bobby passed away in 2018, Jill sold their three bedroom home in New York for $3.25million and has previously rented out her Southampton home for $260,000 for the whole summer.
