She was raised in Dallas, Texas with her adoptive parents and their three children, Candis N, Daryl E, Jr., and Brianna R Lynem. Her mother, Robin, passed away at the end of 2018.

After graduation, Mia gained a job as a clinic director in Charlotte, North Carolina and soon became the owner of Massage Envy Spas. She also founded cruelty-free cosmetics company Amilleon London.

Tom Schwartz Net Worth

April 21, 2022 By 1 Comment

Tom Schwartz Net Worth

There are so many cast members of the “Real Housewives” franchise that it’s hard to keep up. However, there are a few mainstays that most people recognize. For example, Tom Schwartz is one of the main cast members of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” popular spinoff show “Vanderpump Rules.” What is Tom Schwartz Net Worth?

What Is Vanderpump Rules?

If you don’t follow all of the “Real Housewives” shows, then you might not know what we’re talking about. Lisa Vanderpump was one of the Beverly Hills show cast members. She has a Hollywood restaurant and bar called SUR. This drama at SUR is the subject of the television show “Vanderpump Rules.”

Who is Tom Schwartz?

“Vanderpump Rules” launched in 2013. Tom Schwartz appeared on the show as a recurring cast member from the very beginning. By Season 3, he was a main cast member of the show as a SUR bartender.

One of the main storylines of his character follows his relationship with fellow cast member Katie Maloney. Early on we see an episode where he admits to cheating on Katie. However, they work through it. In fact, they married in 2016. However, they have recently filed for divorce.

Another main storyline was when he left his role as a SUR bartender to open his own restaurant under Lisa’s tutelage. It opened in a 2019 episode.

Tom Schwartz on TV

He didn’t start out with a plan to be a reality TV star. Celebrity Net Worth explains that he began in other acting positions.  In 2011, he appeared in an episode of the TV show “True Blood.” In 2013, just before beginning work on “Vanderpump Rules,” he appeared in an episode of “Two and a Half Men.” That same year, he was in a documentary short called “2 Miles in 20 Minutes.”

However, once he began starring in “Vanderpump Rules,” his other television acting gigs seem to have fallen to the wayside. Although he seems to have stopped other forms of acting, he’s “acted” as himself in a variety of appearances over the years. According to IMDB, he’s been on “The Playboy Morning Show,” “Summer House,” “Celebrity Family Feud,” and “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen,” among other appearances.

Tom Schwartz, Model

TV Over Mind points out that he started out as a model before he was an actor. (He also took some college classes in pre-medicine with a plan to become a doctor if television didn’t work out, but modeling and then acting took off.)

Tom Schwartz, Bartender

He worked as a bartender at SUR. Presumably, the restaurant workers earn money from the show in two or three ways. First, they must get paid for their jobs. Bartenders can make good money, especially at a popular Hollywood bar. So, although we don’t know what he earned as a bartender, he likely did well for himself.

Second, of course, they get paid for appearing on the show itself. Therefore, some of Tom Schwartz net worth must come from whatever he earned per episode on “Vanderpump Rules.”

And finally, of course, most reality TV stars become influencers and earn at least a portion of their money that way. He has over 280K Twitter followers and over 980K Instagram followers.

Tom Schwartz, Restaurant Owner

In 2019, the “Vanderpump Rules” cameras began to follow him in his new endeavor. Lisa mentors him as he and his best friend Tom Sandoval open a restaurant together called TomTom Bar. The grand opening of the restaurant aired on a February 2019 episode of “Vanderpump Rules.”

Again, Tom Schwartz net worth is likely intertwined here, with some of the money coming from the success of the restaurant itself and some coming from his television appearances about the bar. Moreover, they’re all linked. The bar would likely never be so successful if the show hadn’t followed him on that journey, right? And all of this further builds his social media presence in an endless loop of each thing supporting the growth of the other. For example, TomTom Bar’s Instagram has over 400K followers.

In a roundup of the highest-earning “Vanderpump Rules” cast members, Yahoo! reports that Tom Schwartz net worth “kyrocketed from $25,000 to $2 million after he opened TomTom.”

Toms’ Good Lovin’ Whiskey

Tom’s Instagram bio link takes us to Toms’ Good Lovin’ Whiskey. This appears to be small batch bourbon and rye whiskey for sale by the owners of the TomTom Bar. Presumably, then, Tom Schwartz net worth includes earnings from these sales.

Tom Schwartz, Poker Player

Schwartz is open about his love of gambling, specifically of playing poker. In 2018, he appeared on the “Poker Night Live” television show. He also plays roulette and craps even though poker is first love. Of course, we don’t know how much he’s won or lost playing poker over the years.

What Is Tom Schwartz Net Worth?

Tom Schwartz has been successful not just as a reality television actor but more importantly as a business owner. Celebrity Net Worth places Tom Schwartz Net Worth at about $4 million. TomTom Bar co-owner (“the other Tom”) is also valued at a net worth of $4 million and Yahoo! reports that comes primarily from the bar, not as much from “Vanderpump Rules” episodes. Therefore, we can assume it’s likely the same story for Tom Schwartz. The two are among the highest-paid members of the “Vanderpump Rules” cast, though, according to that article.

Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney Divorce

Tom Schwartz married Katie Maloney in 2016. (They married on the “Vanderpump Rules” show and actually married again on the show in 2019 in a second Vegas ceremony.) So, they’ve been married for six years and were dating for another six years before that. However, in 2022, they’ve announced a difficult, but mostly amicable, divorce.

We don’t know at this time what the divorce settlement looks like. Therefore, we aren’t sure at this time whether Tom Schwartz net worth will be impacted in any way by the divorce. We do know that according to Celebrity Net Worth they purchased a home together in 2019 worth about $2 million.

Bethenny Frankel Net Worth

March 30, 2022 By Leave a Comment

Bethenny Frankel Net Worth

At this point, there are so many “Real Housewives” that it’s hard to keep up with all of them unless you’re one of the most dedicated fans. However, a few of these women stand out as particularly well-known. Bethenny Frankel is one of those women. She’s a self-made millionaire with multiple business pursuits and an active lifestyle. So, what is Bethenny Frankel net worth?

Who Is Bethenny Frankel?

Bethenny Frankel is most widely known as one of the first women on “The Real Housewives of New York City.” She began the show in 2008 when it premiered. She continued as a primary cast member for eight seasons over the years, although she left for a time and returned later. However, this actually wasn’t the first show that she was on. Three years prior to the show’s premiere, she was the runner-up on “The Apprentice:Martha Stewart.” That tells us a lot about her because she’s as much a business woman as she is a reality TV star.

Bethenny Frankel’s Younger Years

She was born in 1970, making her just over 50 years old today. She always wanted to be an actress, so she moved to Los Angeles when she was in her early twenties. However, she earned less through acting and more through her work for famous people. She served as a personal assistant to Jerry and Linda Bruckheimer and as nanny to Paris Hilton. She also took on set work. For example, she was a production assistant on “Saved By The Bell.”

Bethenny Frankel’s Television Career

As aforementioned, Frankel was the runner-up on the Martha Stewart version of “The Apprentice” in 2005. In 2008, she started appearing in “The Real Housewives of New York City.” Her popularity on that series led to several spinoffs including “Bethenny Every After” and “Bethenny & Fredrik”. For a couple of years, she had her own daytime talk show, simply called “Bethenny.” Most recently she starred in reality TV show “The Big Shot with Bethenny.” This is another business-themed reality competition show.

Bethenny Frankel’s Businesses

As you can see, she’s all about business. In fact, according to her website, this latter show is part of a “multi-year deal with MGM Television and Mark Burnett to generate unscripted television projects that she will produce.” She has her own business called B Real Productions through which she’s doing this work.

Early Businesses

As soon as she got to LA, she started building up her network of connections. She also started forming businesses. Her early businesses included:

  • A party-planning business called In Any Event
  • A resale clothing business
  • BethennyBakes for healthy cookies and meal delivery

Skinnygirl

If you’re a fan of “Real Housewives of New York City,” then you already know that she’s the founder of Skinnygirl. She promoted this widely on the show. At the time, the brand was known for its “skinny” cocktails. However, she sold off the cocktail portion of the business. She kept the rest of the brand, though.

It’s a lifestyle brand for women featuring “skinny” foods like popcorn and salad dressings, as well as supplements, clothing, eyewear, and kitchen accessories. When she first launched the brand’s jeans on HSN, they all sold out within just a couple of hours. She’s clearly got a good head for business.

Just B Podcast

A couple of years ago, she started a podcast called Just B, which is all about being a businesswoman. As soon as it launched in fall 2020, it started topping all of the podcast charts. She shares her own thoughts about business (and life). She also interviews others in various industries.

Brand New Book by Bethenny Frankel

Most recently, she completed a book project called “Business is Personal: The Truth About What It Takes To Be Successful While Staying True to Yourself.” This book has a May 2022 release date. Of course, people expect it to top the charts as soon as it comes out, just like her podcast did.

Note that this isn’t her only book. She released several books related to the Skinnygirl line including a self-help book, a recipe book, and even a novel called “Skinnydipping.”

Charity Work

Also notable is the charitable arm of her business, which she calls BStrong. They give emergency assistance to people inc crisis all around the world. At this time, they’re helping in Ukraine. The Teal Mango reports they’ve given $20 million to this effort. Past assistance has included those affected by tornadoes, fires, and other disasters.

Bethenny Frankel

Bethenny Frankel at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards held at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in Los Angeles, USA on September 12, 2010.

Bethenny Frankel’s Personal Life

Of course, reality TV stars’ personal lives aren’t very separate from their business lives. We saw her life play out on “The Real Housewives of New York City.” Then, she had her spin-off shows. The first one, “Bethenny Ever After,” was a reality show about her engagement and marriage to Jason Hoppy. The show’s premiere was Bravo channel’s highest-rated premiere at the time. The show documents their early relationship including their daughter Bryn’s birth.

This wasn’t her first marriage. She was married to entertainment executive Peter Sussman for less than two years in the 1990s, a choice she openly regrets. It’s also not likely her last marriage. She and Hoppy separated in 2012, although it took another nine years to finalize their divorce. She is currently engaged to film producer Paul Bernon.

What Is Bethenny Frankel Net Worth?

Obviously, most of the “Real Housewives” have a large net worth. The main point of the show is to let viewers glimpse into the lives of rich women. However, because of her smart business sense, the Bethenny Frankel net worth might be higher than many of the others. She has over 2.5 million Instagram followers for her primary account alone.

Celebrity Net Worth explains that Bethenny Frankel net worth comes in large part from her sale of Skinnygirl Cocktails, rumored to be between $39 million and $64 million, with additional incentives related to its future growth. However, her net worth also comes from all of her other businesses as well as her real estate sales, of which there have been several multi-million dollar homes over the years. They place her net worth at about $80 million.

Fun fact: She’s been on the cover of “Forbes” magazine. Moreover, she’s made their list of “Highest-Paid Women in Entertainment.”

Noella Bergener Net Worth

March 3, 2022 By Leave a Comment

Noella Bergener Net Worth

If you’re a fan of the Real Housewives franchise, then you know that there are lots of different housewives. Many people have their favorites. For example, perhaps you love the Real Housewives of Orange County, which is the original of all of the shows. If that’s your jam, then former model Noella Bergener might be among your favorites to follow. She’s in the headlines a lot right now because of her divorce news. How will she do on her own? What is the reality of Noella Bergener net worth?

Who Is Noella Bergener?

Just because you’ve been a fan of the Real Housewives for a long time doesn’t necessarily mean that you know who Noella Bergener is. First of all, there are housewives in different cities, of course. Maybe you primarily follow the Real Housewives of New York, for example. If so, then Noella might not even be on your radar.

Even if you’re a huge fan of the Real Housewives of Orange County, which is the show that she’s on, however, you might not be all caught up. And if you’re not, then you still might not Noella, because she’s new to the show. In a breakdown of who Noella Bergener is, Women’s Health Mag notes that Real Housewives of Orange County (RHOC) is in its sixteenth season but Noella has just joined the group. She’s one of two new housewives this season. The other is Dr. Jen Armstrong.

Some Quick Facts About Noella Bergener

Here are some of the things that you might want to know about her off the bat:

  • Noella Bergener is 36 years old.
  • She self-identifies as bilingual, biracial, and bisexual. She is recognized as the first Black housewife on the Real Housewives of Orange County.
  • She’s a former runway model, for Chanel among other brands. She’s also a magazine cover model; her first cover was for “Flirt” magazine in 2000, when she was still in her early teens.
  • She continues to love fashion. She’s politically liberal and uses her social media platform to promote Black fashion designers, brands, and business, particularly in the fashion sector.
  • Noella is a mom. She has a 2 year old named James Jr. and a 7 year old named Coco. Her son has an autism diagnosis and she shares openly about this journey on the television show.
  • The family has a dog named RiRi.

Going A Bit Deeper: Interesting Information About Noella Bergener

Beyond the fast facts, what are some interesting things that you might want to know about this reality television star? She’s a strong single mom who is open about the struggle of raising two children including one who is on the autism spectrum. She’s spoken about her fears about his educational potential, sharing that in her own childhood a lack of quality education felt like it really held her back. The Grio explains that she experienced growing up on welfare before her mom set up a successful law practice, and then she experienced the other side of a more privileged life. As she learns more about her son and his potential, she sees that he might have an amazing, fulfilling journey ahead of him, despite her initial fears about what his diagnosis might mean.

Obviously, relationships are a key part of the Real Housewives storyline. Noella has been the wife of James Bergener, a personal injury lawyer known as “Sweet James.” However, it’s not a very lengthy marriage. They married in June 2020, and he is the father of the younger of her two children. However, they were only married for about one year when they decided to get a divorce. The divorce was a major part of the RHOC’s storyline and continues to reign over the media headlines. James sent her divorce papers, but still has finalized the divorce, and Noella reports that more than anything she’s just confused, not even sure why he wanted a divorce, yet ready to move forward with her own life. In fact, she’s already dating someone else.

Noelle Bergener Net Worth, Assets, Income, and Divorce Settlement

Anyone watching the Real Housewives shows is usually interested in the women’s financial lives, ranging from their careers to their divorce settlements. The divorce has been such a prominent part of the storyline that naturally this part enters into the conversation as well.

Noella Bergener Assets

If you watched the show during her first season, then you’ve seen that husband James moved to the couple’s home in Puerto Rico and sent her divorce papers from there. Therefore, we know that they have their Orange County home as well as their Puerto Rico home.

Well, maybe not. According to Women’s Health Mag, James says that the 10,000 square foot Orange County home was only leased for the duration of filming and that Noella is actually now “squatting” there.

Noella and James Bergener Debt

We saw on the show that James revealed that he owes nearly $6 million in tax debt. The Puerto Rico home has created much of the financial strain in their marriage. Noella has said to The Grio that she’s open about what’s going on with this financial situation and wants to do all that she can to settle her husband’s debts.

Women’s Health reports that she has requested protection from those debts. She’s also seeking monthly spousal support and wants full custody of their son.

However, at this stage of the divorce process, it’s unclear what all of this will ultimately look like. Until the two agree on the divorce, settlement, it’s hard to get any real sense of what the true Noella Bergener net worth is.

What Is Noella Bergener Net Worth?

If you research to find Noella Bergener net worth online, then most likely you’ll come up with $1 million as the answer. That’s the most commonly reported number. However, it’s really unclear how accurate it is. On one hand, she has a long history of a career as a model. Additionally, she earns money now through RHOC and through social media influencing. However, she lives a lavish lifestyle, similar to that of the other housewives, so her expenses are likely high. Plus, the status of her home isn’t clear. So, her net worth is murky at this time.
