Real Housewives of Atlanta is set to return to Bravo in less than one month. It is one of the most highly-anticipated seasons of the reality television show yet because there have been major shake-ups in the cast. This season will also see the return of fan-favorite Porsha Williams. Since viewers last saw her on the small screen, a lot has changed in Porsha’s life. So, what is Porsha Williams’ net worth and how has she made her money? Here’s everything you need to know about the RHOA star.
Porsha Williams’ Life & Early Career
Porsha Williams was born June 22, 1981, in Atlanta, Georgia. She grew up with an older brother and a younger half-sister. Their parents were self-employed entrepreneurs and his grandfather was a civil rights activist (Hosea Williams). After graduating high school, Porsha went on to pursue a degree in business information technology at the American InterContinental University.
In 2005, she opened her own daycare facility and kickstarted her modeling career, appearing in a pin-up calendar for the Atlanta Dymes. Four years later, she met football player Kordell Stewart. Porsha and Kordell tied the knit in May 2011. The wedding was filmed and broadcast on WE tv as part of the Platinum Weddings series.
Then, in 2012, it was announced that Porsha and Kenya Moore were cast in the fifth season of Real Housewives of Atlanta. While it seemed her career was on the rise, her personal life started to crumble. She was completely blindsided when her husband, Kordell Stewart, filed for divorce in 2013. They were only married for two years. Porsha has said that she learned about their separation on Twitter (now X). The sixth season of RHOA documented the split.

Following this, her career started to really take off. She was part of the cast of the stage musical A Mother’s Love. Porsha also released her debut single “Flatline” in 2014.
On top of that, she was featured in The New Celebrity Apprentice in 2016. After several years as a main cast member on RHOA, Porsha decided to leave the Bravo program for her own show. Porsha’s Family Matters only aired for one season before it was pulled. The RHOA alum also appeared in the third season of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. Other Porsha Williams credits include Sharknado 5: Global Swarming, Steppin’ Back to Love, Zootopia+, and Stars on Mars.
Personal Life & Relationships
In 2018, she got engaged to Dennis McKinley and the pair welcomed a daughter in 2019. Unfortunately, their relationship didn’t work out and she went on to marry Simon Guobadia. In 2024, it was announced that Simon and Porsha were getting divorced as well. Given the length of time she’s been on television and some of her rocky relationships, many people find themselves wondering about Porsha Williams’ net worth.
What is Porsha Williams’ Net Worth?
Porsha Williams’ net worth is estimated to be $1.5 million. Much of her wealth has stemmed from her role on Real Housewives and its spin-offs. According to fellow Real Housewives star Bethenny Frankel, some cast members are paid $25,000 for their first season. Eventually, their earnings could reach seven figures per season. Porsha may be at the lower end of that when you consider the net worth of some of the other Bravo stars. Vicki Gunvalson, for instance, is worth about $7 million.

That said, Porsha is returning to RHOA after a two-season hiatus. So, she’ll be earning money from that once again. In addition to her return to Bravo, Porsha is working on several other projects. It was recently confirmed that she would be joining the cast of Lifetime’s Single Black Female 3. Additionally, she has her own bed sheet company called Pampered by Porsha and works with brands on collaborations on a regular basis. Porsha Williams’ net worth will likely continue to climb in the years to come.
Fans can see Porsha in all her glory on the upcoming season of Real Housewives of Atlanta. The 16th season kicks off on Sunday, March 9 at 8 p.m. EST on Bravo.
