News of celebrity breakups always makes waves, even among stars who keep their romantic lives under wraps.
As a longstanding, original member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kyle Richards’ love life was never really off-limits. Viewers of the program have learned plenty about Richards’ marriage to real estate developer Mauricio Umansky over the years, but some aspects of their life managed to remain quiet. Like the culprit behind the couple’s recent “separation,” which remains unclear, but currently serves as a major target of gossip among viewers. Many are hoping it will be addressed in the upcoming 13th season of RHOBH, but until then, we’ve got little but rumors and speculation to lean on.
According to Umansky and Richards, the pair aren’t necessarily headed for divorce, but viewers remain unconvinced. Many people see a permanent break in the couple’s future, and that possibility is spurring conversations about Umansky’s financial situation. Despite his real estate successes, the 53-year-old is largely recognizable for being married to Richards, which could put him in a tough financial spot following a potential divorce. As of now, he’s doing just fine financially, but all of that could change if he and Richards truly do sever ties.
What is Mauricio Umansky’s net worth?
Umansky and Richards have been married for more than 25 years, so their lives — and their finances — are well and truly blended. After two and a half decades of marriage, it’s hard to separate Umansky’s wealth from that of Richards, but that could be a challenge the couple faces if they are truly headed toward divorce.
Ahead of any potential permanent split, Umansky’s net worth is plenty healthy. The 53-year-old is worth a whopping $100 million in July of 2023, according to Celebrity Net Worth, which is more than enough to live a comfortable life — even in staggeringly expensive Beverly Hills.
Unfortunately, it’s unlikely — should a divorce occur — that Umansky’s bank account will remain intact. That $100 million is the same amount Richards boasts, which means it’s a shared net worth between the couple. Given Richards’ prominence, it seems likely that the bulk of that cash stems from her, and — post-separation — it will return to her. While Umansky will inevitably get plenty of money should divorce proceedings initiate, his net worth is sure to take a blow.
As a couple, Umansky and Richards are worth a full $100 million, but their finances will look significantly different if they become two single people living in Beverly Hills. For the time being, Umansky’s got little to worry about in the money department, but all of that could change if he and Richards actually choose to permanently separate. Even without his wife’s income, Umansky’s no slouch — he’s appeared in several reality television shows over the years — but his public image is inarguably tied to that of Richards. Without her, it’s hard to say how he would fare.
