The Richest RHONJ Star May Surprise You

Controversial Real Housewives of New Jersey vet Danielle Staub announced on a January 2020 episode of Watch What Happens Live that she plans to leave the series for good. The surprising revelation occurred after Staub left the show at the end of Season 2 and then came back at the start of Season 8. No matter how you might feel about the reality star, it's possible fans will agree the move isn't the best idea considering her net worth is reportedly negative $1 million. The debt probably has something to do with Staub's bankruptcy filing for $1.9 million in June 2012, a mess which included $100,000 to the IRS, and $70,000 in taxes to her "local township," per Radar Online. Other debts involve $5,162 in New Jersey state taxes, as well as an unpaid bill from Nordstrom totaling over $7,000, to name just a few items. Staub was absolved of this debt in July 2013, paying $35,000 in order to settle the suit, per TMZ.

As for how Staub plans to make income going forward, she intends to launch a new business venture. "I am going to start my own cooking channel," she told Andy Cohen on WWHL. "I love [cooking], Andy ... Cooking is therapy to me, so I'm basically calling it cooking therapy. And I find my peace in the kitchen." Good luck to the former RHONJ star!
