  • The latest season of the hit American reality television show follows the lives of returning cast members, but who’s been raking in the most dollars?
  • Lawsuits, entrepreneurial endeavours, bankruptcy and everything in between – discover who made it financially, despite the hurdles

Currently airing its 12th season, The Real Housewives of New Jersey is one of the most popular iterations of the successful multi-city reality TV franchise. Like the other cities in the popular series, RHONJ follows the lives, loves and relationships between a cast of always glamorous, often dramatic, women based in the American state of New Jersey.

True to form, the New Jersey housewives are affluent residents of the Garden State. But, mirror mirror on the gated community wall, who is the wealthiest Jersey Housewife of them all?

We take a look at the net worth of each of the current 6 New Jersey housewives.

1. Margaret Josephs: US$50 million

Topping the list of the show’s wealthiest wives is Margaret Josephs. In 1999, Josephs, a Fashion Institute of Technology graduate, founded Macbeth Collection, a line of fashion and lifestyle items including luggage, accessories, homeware and cosmetics.

The Macbeth Collection has been so profitable over the years that in 2012, CNN Business reported that the company was raking in annual sales of around US$26 million.

 

Like many of her New Jersey co-stars, however, the entrepreneur has since faced a number of money issues, including being sued US$12 million for trademark infringement. Yet despite her past fiscal woes, Celebrity Net Worth has reported her personal fortune to be a whopping US$50 million.

2. Jennifer Aydin: US$11 million
