The "great" season 5 besties of Selling Sunset have had their twinning messy divorce early this 2024. The show's former villain, Christine Quinn divorced her husband after he was arrested for assault. Around that time, her friend Chelsea Lazkani also "landed" herself "in mess" following her divorce from Jeff Lazkani.
While Christine has been open about her dark sugar-baby lifestyle before admittedly marrying rich, Chelsea has sparked suspicions about her couture-glam lifestyle. Now that she's divorced, fans are even more curious about Chelsea's net worth.
According to reports, her husband Jeff's net worth isn't even close to the $20 million fortune of Christine's estranged husband, Christian Dumontet — a retired techpreneur. Here's a closer look at the Lazkanis' split and mystery financial situation.

Chelsea Said Real Estate Supports Her Glamorous Lifestyle
On Selling Sunset, Chelsea opens up about growing up in a council house or public housing. But she's come a long way, amassing an estimated net worth of $500,000, per Express UK. She's made most of her money from being a realtor since 2017. According to her bio on the Oppenheim Group's website, she was able to purchase her first home in Manhattan Beach, California, after making $10 million in sales during her first year in business.
Without a prenup mentioned in court papers, it's unclear if Chelsea gets to keep or add to her fortune.
Before their divorce, Chelsea thanked her husband for helping her balance motherhood and her career. "I think having the support of my husband and my family really essentially prepared me to take on this big role and this big opportunity," the reality tv star told People in 2022, adding that she saw real estate as "an opportunity to really open doors in an industry that has lacked diversity and where minorities are underrated."
But it was Chelsea's parents who ultimately influenced her lofty ambitions. She got her business savvy from her mother, Elizabeth Adefioye, who was named the first Chief People Officer at Emerson in 2021. Then she likely got her penchant for real estate from her father, Segun Adefioye — an architect and property developer.
Jeff encouraged Chelsea to pursue a real estate career when she chose to quit being a business strategist after having children.

Jeff's Estimated Net Worth Is Lower Than Chelsea's
Jeff's estimated net worth is between $250,000 to $500,000. Most reports claim that his net worth is much lower than Chelsea's — who once said that she wants to "support" her lifestyle by selling more luxury properties. While the British-Nigerian realtor seems more self-made, Jeff currently works as a managing partner for Icon Media Direct, an advertising agency founded by his mother, Nancy Lazkani.
Jeff's company profile says he "literally grew up in the media industry," watching his mom's work.
But Nancy clarified in an interview that the Lazkanis weren't born into money. Speaking about her father (Jeff's grandpa), she said: "He wasn't a wealthy man. He was the manager of a gourmet grocery store and raised five kids on a clerk’s salary. But he was very intelligent. He taught me how to swim with the sharks without getting eaten alive."
While Jeff and Chelsea's corporate lives could have easily crossed, the pair actually met on Tinder. The latter admitted that it was her first date after moving to Los Angeles. It was meant to be a "short break," but Chelsea said she stayed because she "fell in love." Here's a timeline of their relationship:
August 2017 | Jeff and Chelsea got married |
January 2019 | They welcomed their first child, son Maddox |
November 2020 | They welcomed a daughter named Melia |
April 2022 | Chelsea joined Selling Sunset where she shows glimpses of her home life |
March 2024 | Chelsea filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences" |
April 2024 | In a divorce declaration, Jeff accused Chelsea of stealing and being "physically aggressive" |
May 2024 | Chelsea said she was "doing really good" despite the "ups and downs" of her split from Jeff |
June 2024 | Chelsea admitted that she "landed right in mess" amid her ongoing divorce |
Chelsea Lazkani's Husband Jeff Was Caught Kissing Another Woman Before Divorce
Despite Their Feud, Bre Tiesi Told Chelsea About Jeff Having An Affair
Ahead of the September 8 premiere of Selling Sunset season 8, Netflix released the teaser clip above of Bre Tiesi telling Chelsea that her friend caught Jeff "making out" with another woman during their marriage. The latter was speechless, listening to her co-worker with whom she'd clashed in the previous season.
Bre said: "A friend I've known for a couple years, Amanda, asked to go to lunch... And she told me that... her friend, who she's still very close with and sees, lives at the W Hotel in Hollywood. And he saw your husband at the W Hotel in Hollywood with some girl."
Chelsea then asked Bre about what she'd discovered. "It said that he saw them making out in the lobby," said the latter, "and he saw them making out in the lobby and that he's seen them multiple times." Tears started to roll down Chelsea's cheeks. It seemed as though she'd gotten confirmation of something she'd suspected all along.
The conversation was surprisingly civil. It might even be a chance for the ladies to be friends. Bre told Chelsea: "I know you don't necessarily care for me, but I wouldn't wish this on you or anyone ever. Like I've seriously been there and it's awful. But regardless, it was brought up, she said it, and I feel like you have the right to know."
Bre Tiesi was married to former NFL star, Johnny Manziel from 2018 to 2021. She accused him of cheating via social media in 2019
