Elizabeth Vargas’ net worth: $30 million

Orange County will have to make room for new Housewife Elizabeth Vargas — a lot of room. Vargas has the highest net worth of all the ladies as CEO of Edge Music Network, which she calls the 'digital MTV.' To get a sense of how much Vargas is worth, note that her company has licensed "all the music from Universal Music Group," according to The Desert Sun. Vargas' CEO ex-husband is worth even more than she is with a whopping $200 million net worth.

Tamra Judge’s net worth: $2 million

When we first met Tamra back on season 3 of RHOC, she was a realtor working in the OC, but she got out of the real estate game years ago and moved on to other ventures. Her current hustle is CUT Fitness, the gym she co-owns and runs with her husband, Eddie. She's also dabbled in Instagram ads, and has recently delved into the lucrative CBD market with a new company called Vena Wellness. It should also be noted that Tamra is one of the highest-paid cast members on RHOC, raking in $600 000 per season.

Shannon Beador’s net worth: $20 million

Prior to becoming an orange-carting cast member on RHOC, Shannon was a stay-at-home mom. Like most of the other Housewives, she posts occasional sponcon on social media, but her main source of income is from the show where she gets paid around $800 000 per season. Prior to her split from her husband David, Shannon’s net worth was estimated at $20 million by Celebrity Net Worth. In her divorce settlement from David Beador, the founder of the successful construction company Beador Construction, Shannon walked away with $1.4 million and $10 000 a month in child and spousal support (decreased from $30 000). Shannon has her frozen food line, Real for Real Cuisine, but her income from that business is unknown.

Kelly Dodd’s net worth: $10 million

Kelly’s ex-husband Michael was an executive at the children’s tech company LeapFrog, where he reportedly brought in seven figures annually. Kelly briefly held a sales position, but she’s stayed at home with the couple’s daughter Jolie for the majority of their marriage. Kelly’s net worth has been estimated at $10 million by Celebrity Net Worth, but most of that sum is likely a result of Michael’s wealth. Surprisingly, Dodd is one of the lowest-paid cast members on the show, bringing in $150 000 per season. Recently, Dodd has branched out to make more of her own money as part-owner of beverage company Positive Beverage. The company is carried in 196 Target stores, which seems to be a good sign for success.

Emily Simpson’s net worth: $800 000

RHOC's Emily Simpson is a woman with many jobs. She’s a copyright attorney, a part-time party planner and now an OC Housewife (oh, and a mom of three!). It’s almost like she watched Phaedra Parks juggle law and being a mortician on RHOA and thought, ‘I’ll do that, but with a twist.”

Gina Kirschenheiter’s net worth: $1 million

Prior to having kids, Gina worked as a flight attendant and an executive assistant and has a master's degree in health administration, according to Newsday. When she had kids, she decided to be a stay at home mom. Gina split from her financial planner husband Matthew towards the tail end of filming. While the soon-to-be divorcees have yet to state their assets, Gina has requested financial spousal support from her husband, according to Radar Online. In 2019, the couple got back together, so it's unknown what that means for her financial assets. The couple did list their house for $975 000 after their split.
