Who Is The Richest RHOSLC Season 5 Cast Member?

When The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City premiered in 2020, some fans complained that the cast members were "not rich enough." Sure, they're not worth hundreds of millions like some of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. But their net worths are pretty close to the current cast of The Real Housewives of New York City.

At the end of the day, RHOSLC is reality TV gold — from Mary Cosby's "cult leader" controversy to the iconic Heather Gay ranting about "receipts, proof, timeline, screenshots, f---ing everything" on the Season 4 finale. Speaking of evidence, here's a round-up of the cast's net worths, ranked from highest to lowest, plus how they've earned them.

1 Lisa Barlow, $5 Million

As her official website says, Lisa Barlow is "the definition of a serial entrepreneur." The New York native has amassed an estimated net worth of $5 million from various ventures like luxury restaurants, luxury alcohol, beauty, clothing, and even marketing. Here's a list of Lisa's well-known brands and companies:

• Embellish, clothing brand founded in 2003 (inactive)
• LUXE Marketing, founded in 2008
• Vida Tequila, co-founded with her husband John Barlow in 2005
• Nicole and Brizee Beauty (N+B), co-founded in 2018 and sold for an undisclosed sum in 2022
• Silver Restaurant, founded with her husband in 2011 (inactive)

As Mormons, the Barlows' decision to start a tequila brand was pretty controversial. But it's all business for them. "We love the industry we're in. We've never looked at it as a religious wrong decision," Lisa told Salt Lake Magazine in 2015. "I love my business and I like my religion, too. It's about being a good person and doing good things for people."

2 Mary Cosby, $5 Million

Season 5 returnee, Mary Cosby, is also said to be worth $5 million. But Mary's source of wealth is far more complicated. She inherited the companies of her grandmother, Rosemary Cosby, after marrying her husband, Robert Cosby Sr. Yes, you read that right. Mary explained to BravoTV.com that her grandmother had the "arrangement" written in her will, and that she was "happy" to honor it.

"I met my husband through my grandma... You're dealt with the cards that you're given and it's up to you to make it happy. I love my life, I have a blessed life, and I love Robert Sr. We were kind of, I would say, arranged. It was kind of in my grandma's will for us to marry."

Robert Sr. added that Rosemary told him, "If anything ever happens to me, Bobby, I want you to marry one of my girls because they'll look out for you." Mary said they're "blessed" because of it. Robert Sr. is 20 years older than Mary, who just turned 52. They share a son together named Robert Jr.

Aside from managing her grandma's businesses, Mary runs her own chain of restaurants and salons. According to her Instagram bio, she's also an event specialist and is associated with a fragrance brand called Marimarta Perfumeria. Recently, Mary and Robert got involved in a financial scandal, filing a $6.3 million lawsuit against two executives of the for-profit branch of their Faith Temple Pentecostal Church.

3 Angie Katsanevas, $5 Million

Tied with Lisa and Mary is Angie Katsanevas, whose passion for hair care and styling turned into a lucrative business after marrying her husband, Shawn Trujillo, at a salon. In 1999, they founded the Lunatic Fringe salon in Salt Lake City, which has since expanded to more than 10 locations.

Angie was accused of being a schemer and a fraud on RHOSLC Season 4.

When she got the center snowflake in the cast photo this Season 5, Angie opened up about "enduring a lot" to get that coveted spot. "Well, let me just tell you, like, I won't lie. I was surprised. It's my first season last year. I felt like I had to go through a lot to get to where I am today," said the entrepreneur. "... I endured a lot of rumors about my business and about my marriage, and I didn't love that."

4 Whitney Rose, $3 Million

Before joining RHOSLC, Whitney Rose had already built several businesses that largely contributed to her $3 million net worth. That includes cosmetic and jewelry lines, which she founded after working as an executive in related companies.

She led Nu Skin Enterprises during regional events from 2007 to 2008. She also worked as a direct selling account executive for InVision Communications until 2009. In 2017, she launched her cosmetic line, Iris + Beau, which is now known as Wild Rose Beauty.

Whitney is also a co-founder of PRISM jewelry, whose products are "created for spiritual women who trust their intuition over everything and know that miracles and healing come from within." Although in Season 5, the women have questioned how she gets her designs. In the show, the reality star has opened up about struggling with trauma from alleged child abuse, which was "weaponized" against her at one point.

5 Heather Gay, $1.7 Million

Heather Gay's $1.7 million fortune comes from a wide range of income. While she mostly makes her money from reality TV and social media brand deals, she's also a co-founder of the medspa, Beauty Lab + Laser. It seems like she's dominating the media one best-selling project at a time, having written two memoirs in the last two years: Bad Mormon: A Memoir (2023) and Good Time Girl (2024).

6 Meredith Marks, $1 Million

Before joining RHOSLC, Meredith was already a millionaire celebrity jewelry designer. In 2009, she founded her eponymous brand, which has been worn by the likes of Rihanna and Charlize Theron. According to her company's website, Meredith studied fine arts while working as a model.

She then went to graduate school at Northwestern University, earning two degrees: law and an MM from the Kellogg Business School. Before winning awards in the jewelry industry, Meredith worked in real estate development and owned a health club, all while balancing her home life as a wife and mom to three kids.

Meredith's business was recently questioned by fans after they noticed that she rents a home every season instead of owning one. But she explained that it's due to her busy schedule. "I live in Park City 4-6 months a year and spend the rest of the time between Europe, NYC, Miami and LA," she replied to the comment. "I pay a massive premium for a winter ski rental to not have the responsibility the rest of the year."

7 Bronwyn Newport, $1 Million

Like the rest of the cast, Brownwyn Newport also has a glamorous background as a fashion blogger and Broadway producer. Not much is known about the other sources of her estimated $1 million net worth. But according to her official website, she's a philanthropist involved in the Boards of BalletWest, The Road Home, KultureCity, and Show Up.

It's also been revealed that she and her husband, Todd Bradley, don't have a prenup. "When I met Todd, I was working in finance myself. And if Todd and I got divorced tomorrow, I would not have access to most of the stuff Todd has," she said on a recent episode of RHOSLC.

Because Todd and I are genuinely in a real relationship that does include a physical attraction, it includes a mental attraction, and it includes best friendship.

Brownyn added that she "wouldn't take Todd to the cleaners, which is why we don't have a prenup." Heather doubted it, saying that Todd — being the "savvy businessman" that he is — wouldn't marry without a prenup. But Brownwyn clapped back.

She said: "Todd is such a savvy businessman, that do you think my snarky lame ass hoodwinked him? Todd is so successful that he has all these assets to protect, and he didn't see that I was coming as a gold digger? There's something genuine between Todd and I, and he sees it."
