Sutton Stracke has only been on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for two seasons as a permanent cast member, which means she hadn't as much time as some of the other wives, like Kyle Richards, to rake up salary slips from her role. Yet, according to Celebrity Net Worth, her net worth stands at an incredibly high $50 million. This raised curiosity among fans about where the wealth came from.
Before her appearance on the show in 2021 and even during her ongoing stint, she capitalized on her entrepreneurial skills. She started several ventures like her party planning and an art and fashion label, The Sutton Concept. But that's not all. Sutton split with her ex-husband Christian in 2012 and received a hefty amount in their settlement in cash and assets.
Sutton Stracke is the fourth richest RHOBH wife in just 2 years
Sutton Stracke is one of the newer additions to the RHOBH squad, first making guest appearances in season 10 and being announced as a permanent cast member for season 11, which premiered in 2021. While the wives get monetarily compensated for their time on the show, her two-season-long appearance paychecks don't entirely make up her unpredictably high net worth.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Sutton Stracke has a net worth of $50 million, making her the 4th wealthiest wife from the franchise, ranking after Kathy Hilton, Sanela Diana Jenkins, and Kyle Richards. Her riches shocked the fans of the show, who grew curious about the source of her money.
Sutton has accumulated wealth from her business ventures, a divorce settlement with her ex-husband Christian, her membership in several executive boards, and her contribution to RHOBH.
Professional ballet was always Sutton's dream, which she went on to learn in New York following her college graduation. She was appointed as the Cunningham Dance Foundation's Associate Director and was also the Executive Director at the Augusta Ballet. Her Bravo bio details her ballet experience:
"Sutton sits on various boards in New York, Los Angeles, and Augusta, including the prestigious American Ballet Theatre."
Sutton has been a party planner for the biggest names in the entertainment industry. The Salonniere, which rates the top hosts, ranked her 39th. She even outshined Obama's organizers. Event organizers of the elite earn an estimate of $100,000 yearly.
Sutton Stracke also established an art, home, and clothing company, The Sutton Concept, in 2019, which significantly impacted the growth of her wealth. In August 2023, she also announced to Us Weekly that she would be starting a "circular fashion" label called Sutton Brands to promote style with sustainability.
Per Celebrity Net Worth, much of her current riches also come from her divorce settlement with her ex-husband Christian in 2016. Christian and Sutton Stracke were close confidantes since childhood and married in 2000. Sutton told Andy Cohen on a WWHL episode that she was surprised to learn how much wealth her husband had since he handled their finances.
Her ex-husband Christian worked in hedge funds and was the "Global Head of Credit Research" at the investment firm PIMCO, which, according to Celebrity Net Worth, is worth $2.2 trillion.
Court documents from their settlement were made public and showed she settled for upwards of $2 million in cash and assets. As part of her "spousal support," she receives $300,000 per month until her partner dies or she gets married. Along with the sum, she's also sent an additional amount for child support.
In this settlement, she got a house the couple had bought for $7 million in Bel Air, as per Celebrity Net Worth's analysis. Sutton Stracke put this home on the market for $9 million and sold it for $7.7 million in 2020.
The abovementioned amounts, with her likely high RHOBH salary, make the math add up to an estimated $50 million.
Sutton Stracke and the starlets of RHOBH will return with their explosions and drama in season 13 episode 2. It will be ready to watch on November 2 at 8 pm ET on Bravo.
