Kyle Richards Net Worth

What is Kyle Richards' net worth?

Kyle Richards is an American actress, television personality, producer, author, and entrepreneur who has a net worth of $100 million.

Kyle Richards first became known as a child actress before becoming one of the defining stars of Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." She began working in television as a young girl, appearing on shows such as "Little House on the Prairie" and in films including "The Car," "The Watcher in the Woods," and John Carpenter's horror classic "Halloween." Decades later, Richards returned to one of her most famous early roles when she reprised Lindsey Wallace in "Halloween Kills" and "Halloween Ends." Her second and more sustained wave of fame came through "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," where she has been part of the cast since the show's 2010 debut and became the last remaining original full-time cast member. Her story on the series has included her family relationships, especially with sisters Kim Richards and Kathy Hilton, her marriage to real estate executive Mauricio Umansky, her friendships, business ventures, and the emotional challenges of living much of her adult life on camera. In a given year, Mauricio personally sells more than $150 million worth of real estate. He has sold $5 billion worth of real estate during his career. Kyle and Mauricio separated at some point in 2023 but have not officially divorced as of this writing.

Early Life

Kyle Egan Richards was born on January 11, 1969, in Hollywood, California. She is the daughter of Kathleen Mary Dugan and Kenneth Edwin Richards. Her older sister is actress Kim Richards, and her older half-sister is Kathy Hilton, the mother of Paris Hilton and Nicky Hilton Rothschild.

Richards grew up in a family closely tied to the entertainment business. Like Kim, she began acting as a child, booking roles at an age when most children were just beginning school. That early exposure to Hollywood gave her a long professional history before she became associated with reality television. It also placed her inside the same child-actor world that shaped her sister Kim's career.

Child Acting Career

Richards began acting in the 1970s and quickly became a familiar face on television. One of her most notable early roles was Alicia Sanderson Edwards on "Little House on the Prairie." The role introduced her to a broad family audience and gave her a steady presence on one of the era's most beloved television dramas.

She also appeared in several films as a child, including "Eaten Alive" and "The Car." In 1978, Richards played Lindsey Wallace in John Carpenter's "Halloween," one of the most influential horror films ever made. Although she was still a child at the time, the role became one of her most enduring acting credits. "Halloween" later grew into a major horror franchise, and Richards's connection to the original film remained an important part of her Hollywood identity.

In 1980, she appeared in Disney's supernatural thriller "The Watcher in the Woods," further adding to her résumé as a young actress. Like many child performers, Richards worked across family programming, genre films, and guest appearances, building a career long before reality television made her a household name for a different reason.

Adult Acting and Later Roles

Richards continued acting into adulthood, although her acting career became less constant as she focused on marriage, motherhood, and other ventures. She made appearances in television and film projects over the years, including "ER," "Days of Our Lives," "The Hungover Games," and the Peacock holiday movie "The Real Housewives of the North Pole."

Her return to the "Halloween" franchise was especially meaningful for longtime fans. Richards reprised her role as Lindsey Wallace in "Halloween Kills" in 2021 and "Halloween Ends" in 2022, returning to a character she had first played more than 40 years earlier. The appearances connected her childhood acting career to her adult fame and gave her a rare link across multiple eras of the horror franchise.

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills"

In 2010, Richards joined "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" as one of the show's original cast members. The first-season cast also included her sister Kim Richards, Lisa Vanderpump, Camille Grammer, Adrienne Maloof, and Taylor Armstrong. From the start, Kyle's role on the show was shaped by her family history, her social life, and her complicated relationship with Kim.

Over time, Richards became one of the franchise's central figures. She remained on the show as other original cast members left, eventually becoming the longest-running full-time cast member in Beverly Hills franchise history. Her storylines have included friendships and feuds with other cast members, her sisters' appearances on the show, her children growing up, and the pressures of maintaining a marriage and public image under constant scrutiny.

The relationship between Kyle, Kim, and Kathy became one of the show's most emotional ongoing threads. Their shared childhood, family history, and private tensions often spilled into the public world of Bravo, giving viewers a rare look at the complicated dynamics inside one of Beverly Hills's most famous families.

Personal Life

Richards married Guraish Aldjufrie in 1988, and they had a daughter, Farrah. After that marriage ended, she married Mauricio Umansky in 1996. Mauricio became a prominent Los Angeles real estate executive and later co-founded The Agency, a luxury real estate brokerage. Kyle and Mauricio have three daughters together: Alexia, Sophia, and Portia.

For many years, Kyle and Mauricio's marriage was presented on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" as one of the show's steadier relationships. Their family life, holiday traditions, homes, parties, and parenting all became part of Kyle's public identity. Beginning in 2023, however, their separation became a major storyline and a subject of widespread media attention. Bravo reported in July 2025 that the couple remained separated and had not formally filed for divorce at that time.

Business Ventures and Public Image

Outside acting and reality television, Richards has worked in fashion, retail, writing, and production. She opened boutiques, released the 2011 memoir and lifestyle book "Life Is Not a Reality Show," and developed scripted and unscripted projects connected to her life and family background. The 2018 Paramount Network series "American Woman" was loosely inspired by her childhood and her late mother's life.

Richards's public image has evolved over time. She began as a child actress, became a Beverly Hills mother and social figure, and then emerged as one of the most recognizable reality television stars of her generation. Her staying power on Bravo comes partly from that layered history. She is not simply a reality personality, but someone whose entertainment career stretches from 1970s television to modern streaming, horror revivals, and long-running reality TV.

Real Estate

In 2011, Kyle and Mauricio paid $3 million for a mansion in LA's Bel-Air neighborhood. This is the mansion that they used most during the filming of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." They listed the home for sale for the first time in 2017. They finally accepted an offer of $6.5 million in January 2022.

In October 2017, Kyle and Mauricio paid $8.2 million for a home in Encino, California. They also own a home in La Quinta, California, which they bought in 2014 for $2.35 million.

The Richards-Umansky family bought a vacation home in Aspen in 2019 for $4.2 million, and in June 2022, it hit the market for $9.75 million. It ultimately sold for $7.75 million. But two months later, it was announced that they bought a new house in Aspen for their growing family for a reported $13.6 million.
