Kyle Richards

Kyle Richards is an American television personality, actress, and businesswoman who has been a central figure on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills since its premiere in 2010. Born on January 11, 1969, in Hollywood, California, she is the half-sister of Kathy Hilton and Kim Richards, placing her within one of Hollywood’s most well-connected families. Richards began her career as a child actress in the 1970s, appearing in notable horror films including the original Halloween (1978), where she played Lindsey Wallace alongside Jamie Lee Curtis.

Richards continued acting through the 1980s and 1990s, appearing in television shows and films, but her career reached new heights when she was cast as an original cast member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She became the only original cast member to remain on the show through all of its seasons, becoming the franchise’s anchor and one of the most recognizable figures in reality television. Her personal life, including her relationships with her sisters and her marriage to Mauricio Umansky, has been a central storyline throughout the series.

Much of Richards’s wealth is connected to the success of her then-husband Mauricio Umansky, founder of The Agency, one of the most prominent luxury real estate brokerages in the world. The Agency has expanded from its Beverly Hills origins to locations across the United States and internationally, handling billions of dollars in real estate transactions annually. Richards and Umansky announced their separation in 2023 after 27 years of marriage, which has raised questions about the financial implications for both parties.

Beyond television, Richards has launched several business ventures, including a clothing line and retail stores. She has also returned to acting, reprising her role as Lindsey Wallace in the Halloween franchise reboot films. Her net worth of approximately $100 million reflects her decades of entertainment industry work, her Bravo television salary (one of the highest among Housewives cast members), her real estate holdings, and her connection to The Agency’s success. Richards remains one of the wealthiest and most influential figures in the reality television space.
