Bethenny Frankel might play the I’m-just-like-you kind of personality on TV. But she really isn’t like any of us.
She is too damn rich to be like us regular folk.
The Real Housewives of New York City star’s finance were released in new court documents.
According to Radar Online, when Frankel signed a pre-nup with her soon-to-be ex-husband, Jason Hoppy, in March 2010, her net worth was…
$ 22,000,000. Twenty. Two. Million. Dollars. That’s a lot of freaking money!
In addition to her fortune, her assets have a total value of $ 611,503.
Her assets alone were a lot in comparison to Hoppy’s net worth of $ 475,000. Maybe that's why Frankel was ordered to pay Hoppy $ 100,000 as they settle their divorce dispute.
Hoppy had $ 13,331 in his checking and savings accounts, and well as a joint account with Frankel that contained $ 3,774.
The couple also had a joint brokerage account valuing at $ 248,774.
Not long after they were married, Frankel made a sh*t ton of money when the sale of her Skinnygirl cocktail line sold for a reported $ 100 million to Fortune Brands’ Beam Global.
Two years after her wedding, Frankel’s W2 forms claimed an annual wage of $ 4,011,726. She also had an individual checking and savings account that contained $ 282,207.
With all of this money, Jason and Bethenny’s daughter, Bryn, will be in good shape. Bryn has a 529 college savings account with $ 149,187 deposited in it.
This money was the result of a ton of hard work on Bethenny’s part. Before filing for divorce Frankel was the sole owner of six business and trademarks.
With enough money to purchase two properties in Bridgehampton with cash money, Jason and Bethenny lived a life of luxury.
In the court documents, Hoppy claimed that they typically spent $ 35,559 a month. This included $ 470 in clothing for Jason, $ 600 for Bryn’s wardrobe, $ 320 for the babysitter, $ 450 for golf and other hobbies, $ 500 for toys, $ 350 to send Bryn to summer camp, $ 4,000 for their summer home, and $ 2,500 for monthly vacations.
$ 0 to feed the poor and homeless.
When they were still in marital bliss, the couple took vacations to Turks and Caicos in 2009 and Los Cabos in 2011.
The documents noted a particularly greedy bit of information about Hoppy. He wants the court to recognize this as his quality of life and is asking that Frankel pay the bill for his future trips.
Uh, no.
The judge noted there are “disputes about whether their often luxurious travel constituted vacations (according to the husband) or work (according to the wife).”
“It is difficult to make a precise finding as to the marital lifestyle,” the judge stated.
Really, why are these frivolities even considered “a lifestyle”???
The battle for Bethenny's fortune has been ongoing for two years. And it looks like she isn't going to give up without a fight. Reports have claimed that Bethenny refuses to settle the divorce until he gives up the Tribeca apartment they once shared.
