7. Kelly Dodd
Estimated Net Worth: $10 million. Kelly Dodd is the newest housewife to join The Real Housewives of Orange County. It’s only a few weeks into the series and she’s already made a huge splash and definitely impressed the ladies with her modern and beautiful four-story oceanfront home in Corona Del Mar. She describes herself as a stay-at-home mom, but she does have the position of being the COO of Kiss Me Mirrors, a company based out of Newport Beach, California. Kelly has definitely made her own money, but it doesn’t hurt that she’s married to Michael Dodd, the former president of LeapFrog Enterprises Inc. He’s since retired from that role and these two are now living off all the royalties! Today she’s worth an estimated $10 million!
