She literally has Chaneldripping from her ears.
And yet, she and her husband, PK, are going throughvery public debt-related lawsuits.
And so, the first financial lesson: All of this is for the show.
They need to go on shopping sprees and buy fancy cars so you can build their personal brands.
No one should spend the way they do.
after her husbands death.
Basically, if you rely on someone else as a breadwinner, check that you understand their finances.
She made the equivalent of 25 years of highly paid work when shesold the company in 2011.
This is why all the Housewives have a go at start their own business ventures.
Arent they already rich enough?
Shouldnt they just retire by now?
They are on the show formoremoney andmorefame!
Even with all these income streams, not a single cast member is onForbes list of richest self-made women.
