Alexia Echevarria Net Worth

What Is Alexia Echevarria's Net Worth?

Alexia Echevarria is a Cuban-American television personality, magazine editor, and entrepreneur who has a net worth of $8 million.

Alexia Echevarria is best known as an original cast member of Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Miami." She appeared during the show's original three-season run and returned when Bravo revived the series after an extended hiatus. Her glamorous lifestyle, strong opinions, family relationships, and ability to withstand repeated personal crises have made her one of the show's central personalities.

Before becoming a reality star, Echevarria worked in Miami's publishing and social scene. She served as editor in chief of "Venue Magazine," an upscale Spanish-language lifestyle publication she operated with her second husband, businessman Herman Echevarria. She later expanded into the beauty industry by acquiring a nail salon and transforming it into Alexia + Frankie's Beauty Bar, named for her younger son.

Echevarria's financial position reflects years of Bravo compensation, media work, salon ownership, endorsements, personal appearances, insurance proceeds, and real estate. Her life has also included substantial challenges, most notably her son Frankie's life-altering car accident, Herman's death, and the breakdown of her marriage to real estate investor Todd Nepola.

Early Life

Alexia Astrid Figueredo was born on May 3, 1967, in Cuba. Her family relocated to South Florida, and she was raised primarily in Miami. Growing up in the city's large Cuban-American community gave her fluency in both English and Spanish and connected her to the cultural world that later became central to her magazine and television careers.

Echevarria developed an early interest in fashion, beauty, nightlife, and entertainment. Before reality television, she became a recognizable figure within Miami's business and social circles.

"Venue Magazine"

Echevarria worked with Herman Echevarria on "Venue Magazine," a Spanish-language publication covering fashion, entertainment, restaurants, luxury goods, celebrities, and Miami society. Her official title was editor in chief, and early episodes of "The Real Housewives of Miami" showed her organizing photo shoots, attending events, and preparing new issues.

The magazine allowed Echevarria to combine her interest in fashion with her relationships throughout Miami's Latin entertainment community. It also helped establish the public persona that made her a natural fit for Bravo.

"The Real Housewives of Miami"

Echevarria joined "The Real Housewives of Miami" when the show premiered in 2011. The original cast also included Lea Black, Adriana de Moura, Marysol Patton, Larsa Pippen, and Cristy Rice.

During the original run, Echevarria's family life became a major part of the series. She substantially reduced her participation during the second season to care for her son Frankie following his car accident but later resumed a larger role.

Bravo revived "The Real Housewives of Miami" in 2021 after an eight-year absence. Echevarria returned alongside several original cast members and became one of the revival's leading figures. The new seasons chronicled her marriage to Todd Nepola, disagreements between Todd and her older son, Peter, her friendships with the other women, and her continuing responsibilities as Frankie's primary caregiver.

Alexia + Frankie's Beauty Bar

In 2017, Echevarria purchased a Miami-area nail salon she had previously visited as a customer. She expanded the business into Alexia + Frankie's Beauty Bar, offering manicures, pedicures, blowouts, waxing, tanning, lashes, and other services.

The salon was named for Frankie, who regularly spent time at the business and interacted with its customers. Echevarria has described the salon as both a commercial venture and a way to give her son a productive, supportive environment.

Personal Life

Echevarria was first married to Pedro Rosello. They had two sons, Peter and Frankie, before divorcing during the 1990s.

In 2011, Frankie suffered a severe traumatic brain injury in a car accident. He underwent brain and pelvic surgery and spent months in a medically induced coma. Although the accident left him with lasting impairments, he made considerable progress and continued appearing with his mother on television.

Alexia married Herman Echevarria in 2004. They separated in 2015 but remained legally married when Herman died from natural causes in September 2016. Alexia later disclosed that Herman had maintained a life insurance policy benefiting her and had established trusts for his children.

In December 2021, she married real estate investor Todd Nepola. Todd filed for divorce in April 2024, and the divorce was finalized in 2025. Despite the legal dissolution of their marriage, they continued spending time together and publicly exploring a reconciliation.

Real Estate

Echevarria has lived in several luxury residences featured on "The Real Housewives of Miami." Her housing arrangements became a recurring source of tension during her relationship with Todd, particularly as they moved between high-end rental properties.

In 2026, Echevarria and Todd acquired a villa at the Ritz-Carlton Residences in Miami Beach for $5.25 million. The waterfront property contains roughly 3,700 square feet of living space and provides Echevarria with a more permanent Miami residence after several years of moving.
