Updated October 2024: This article has been updated to reflect the most recent information regarding the net worth ranking of every housewife from Season 1 to now of "The Real Housewives of New York".
18 Real Housewives Of New York: Jules Wainstein
Jules Wainstein Net Worth: $1.5 Million
Jules Wainstein has a $1.5 net worth, which is the lowest of any cast member who has appeared on the show.
We've probably heard about Jules Wainstein's arrest and we definitely remember that her marriage didn't seem peachy keen, at least from what we observed in any scenes of them together.
17 Real Housewives Of New York: Alex McCord
Alex McCord Net Worth: $2 Million
Alex McCord's got a $2 million net worth. That seems pretty low when we think about it, especially since when Alex and her hubby Simon appeared in the early seasons of the show, they were throwing some serious money around. They would always go shopping and if the bill was thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars, they really didn't care at all.
16 Real Housewives Of New York: Leah McSweeney
Leah McSweeney Net Worth: $2.4 Million
According to Distractify, Leah McSweeney has a net worth of $2.4 million.
Leah joined RHONY in 2019 and was a cast member for two years.
After leaving the show, Leah brought a lawsuit against Bravo and Andy Cohen alleging that she was forced to drink alcohol on the show despite being an alcoholic.
The case is still pending. What this will do to Leah's net worth remains to be seen.
15 Real Housewives Of New York: Brynn Whitfield
Brynn Whitfield Net Worth: $3 Million
Brynn Whitfield has been one to dabble in several professional fields before joining the Real Housewives franchise. From a public relations career to that of a yoga instructor, Brynn has done a bit of everything, including becoming a reality star.
Brynn has a net worth of $3 million. But as a fan favorite, there is no telling just how much higher Brynn's net worth will climb.

13 Real Housewives Of New York: Cindy Barshop

Cindy has a net worth of $6 million, which might not be as high as some others, but hey, we would be totally fine with having this much cash in the bank.
12 Real Housewives Of New York: Sonja Morgan
Sonja Morgan Net Worth: $8 Million
Sonja Morgan's net worth is $8 million. This is about what many fans would expect since she always mentions her various businesses on the show, and we know that she recently sold her townhouse and made some money from that.
