In the world of soccer, they are known as WAGs (Wives and Girlfriends). We’re not 100% sure if the term is used for wives and girlfriends of American Football players, but up until recently, that’s exactly what Monique Samuels was. In 2023, after a marriage that lasted more than a decade, she and her ex-husband, former Washington Redskins star Chris Samuels, decided to go their separate ways.
While they were married, Monique had been a long-running regular on the series “The Real Housewives of Potomac.” From season 2 up until 5, Monique was one of the standouts, often causing and being at the center of much of the show’s inevitable drama.

Zarin is in a relationship with Gary Brody, with whom she recently moved into a large and unique penthouse that was once owned by Georgia O’Keefe.

Nicole runs a home-based personal development business and owns a Dairy Queen franchise. Since leaving the reality show, the two sisters hosted a podcast called "Girls in Heels."
Diana Jenkins - $300 million
She didn't even last five minutes on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," and there was a really good reason for that. Bosnia-born Diana Jenkins became the overnight villain on the popular reality series, making every single cast member hate her due to her backstabbing and manipulative ways.
Before RHOBH, Jenkins was previously married to Barclays executive Roger Jenkins. The Daily Mail described their divorce as "the happiest [one] ever," which makes sense when you consider just how much money she made from it. As a result, Jenkins has been able to live a lavish life from that separation ever since.
Teddi Mellencamp - $16 million
She might not have been the longest-lasting cast member on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," but Teddi Mellencamp certainly made a splash during her couple seasons on the show. And while we're on the topic of net worth, it makes sense that Teddi has as much money as she does when you consider that she is the daughter of iconic musician John Mellencamp - she was born into wealth!
That hasn't stopped Teddi though from making a name for herself - founding her own lifestyle company All In by Teddi. It's also worth noting that Teddi has been married twice - firstly to Matthew James Colbourne Robertson and more recently to Edwin Arroyave.
Crystal Kung Minkoff - $30 million
When you are married to the director of some of the most iconic Disney movies of all time - it's safe to say that you're probably doing just fine from a financial point of view. That's a good way to describe Crystal Kung Minkoff, who is married to Rob Minkoff - the man behind classics such as "The Lion King," "Stuart Little," "The Haunted Mansion," and many more.
But Crystal is also a bit of an entrepreneur, having founded her own coconut products company - fittingly named Real Coco. Kung has been one of the cast members of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" since 2021 and has had her fair share of drama already - especially with Sutton Stracke.
Annemarie Wiley - $2 million
One of the latest additions to the cast of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" is Annemarie Wiley. Having already shown up previously as a friend of Kyle Richards, it looks like Wiley has already added a unique flavor to the show. She is married to former NFL player Marcellus Wiley, who has played for many teams, including the San Diego Chargers, Buffalo Bills, and Dallas Cowboys, among others.
They have three kids together and Annemarie is also the stepmother of Marcellus' child from a previous relationship. Another example of a "Real Housewife" who developed plenty of wealth after tying the knot with a football player.
Kathy Hilton - $350 million
While she has never been an official regular cast member, Kathy Hilton has shown up in pretty much every season of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" and at this point, she feels just as integral as anyone else. Actually, we tell a small lie. Kathy was an official cast member on season 11, but that is all.
Of course, she has a huge net worth because of the fact that she is married to Richard Hilton, the chairman of the real estate brokerage firm Hilton & Hyland. Not to mention the fact that Kathy is the mother of world-famous socialites Paris and Nicky Hilton. But probably the most standout storyline surrounding Kathy is her turbulent relationship with her half-sisters Kim and Kyle Richards.
Kelly Killoren Bensimon - $10 million
Like many other "Real Housewives," Kelly Killoren Bensimon earned her right to be one of the iconic cast members because of who she was married to. From 1997 to 2007, she was married to fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon, who was, at one point, the International Creative Director of Elle magazine.
So it's pretty safe to say that Kelly is doing just fine for herself, especially after the settlement from their divorce. With that said, Kelly has had plenty of success in her own right, working as a real estate agent, a model, and even as an author. She was a cast member of "The Real Housewives of New York City" from seasons 2 to 4.
Monique Samuels - $8 million
In the world of soccer, they are known as WAGs (Wives and Girlfriends). We're not 100% sure if the term is used for wives and girlfriends of American Football players, but up until recently, that's exactly what Monique Samuels was. In 2023, after a marriage that lasted more than a decade, she and her ex-husband, former Washington Redskins star Chris Samuels, decided to go their separate ways.
While they were married, Monique had been a long-running regular on the series "The Real Housewives of Potomac." From season 2 up until 5, Monique was one of the standouts, often causing and being at the center of much of the show's inevitable drama.
Larsa Pippen - $10 million
When you are the ex-wife of one of the most iconic basketball players of the last 30 years, there's a good chance that you have a fair share of money to your name. That certainly applies to Larsa Pippen, who, you guessed it, was married to Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls sidekick Scottie Pippen, up until 2021. But don't let that fact fool you.
Larsa has also built up her own share of success over the years, successfully launching her own high-end jewelry line known as Larsa Marie. Since 2021, Larsa has been one of the main cast members of "The Real Housewives of Miami." Amazingly, Larsa is currently in a relationship with one of Michael Jordan's sons, Marcus Jordan.
Ashley Darby - $5 million
Truth be told, Ashley Darby had already made a name for herself before shacking up with Australian restaurateur Michael Darby. The model was a big hit around the Beauty pageant circuit, being crowned Miss District of Columbia in 2011, while also competing in Miss America a year later.
While she is no longer married to Darby, Ashley is still enjoying the success she found as one of the main cast members of "The Real Housewives of Potomac," which she has been a part of since the show started in 2016. It is safe to say that Ashley has been on a rollercoaster ride of a life over the last decade or so.
Chanel Ayan - $2 million
There might not be a "Real Housewife" that has been through as much as Chanel Ayan has. This Somali/Ethiopian lady was born in Kenya. At 18 years of age though, she relocated to Sao Paulo, Brazil, of all places, to jump into the modeling industry. Eventually, though, she made the next leap to New York City, before finally settling in Dubai.
This eventually led her to be one of the cast members of "The Real Housewives of Dubai," which she has been a part of since its inception. Ayan has been married to Lucas Salves since 1995, with whom she had a child. Since her time on "RHOD," Ayan has launched her very own makeup brand AYAN Beauty.
