What Is Golnesa "GG" Gharachedaghi's Net Worth?
Golnesa "GG" Gharachedaghi is an American reality television personality and entrepreneur who has a net worth of $3 million.
GG Gharachedaghi became famous as one of the original stars of Bravo's "Shahs of Sunset," appearing throughout all nine seasons of the series. Her fiery temperament, friendships, family relationships, health struggles, and turbulent romances made her one of the program's most recognizable personalities.
Gharachedaghi later returned to Bravo as a principal cast member of "The Valley: Persian Style." Outside television, she has experimented with hair extensions, cannabis products, wellness goods, intimate products, podcasting, social media subscriptions, and other ventures. Some of those businesses were short-lived, while her longest-running source of independent income has been reality television.
At the beginning of "Shahs of Sunset," Gharachedaghi openly relied on financial support from her father. Her later television work followed her efforts to become more independent, raise her son as a single mother, purchase a home, and create businesses around her public persona.

Early Life
Golnesa Gharachedaghi was born on November 27, 1981, in Los Angeles, California. Her parents had emigrated from Iran to the United States during the 1970s.
Her father, Mahmoud Gharachedaghi, founded the Los Angeles architecture firm GA Architecture and Planning. Her mother, Sholeh, and her older sister, Leila, have also appeared on her reality programs.
Gharachedaghi attended several schools and has said that she was repeatedly disciplined for fighting. She later attended Loyola Marymount University and studied addiction treatment. Before reality television, she helped operate a sober-living facility, although she did not develop a sustained conventional career.
She also trained extensively in gymnastics as a teenager before deciding not to pursue the sport professionally.
"Shahs of Sunset"
Gharachedaghi joined "Shahs of Sunset" when the series premiered in 2012. The original cast also included Mercedes "MJ" Javid, Reza Farahan, Mike Shouhed, Asa Soltan Rahmati, and Sammy Younai.
Gharachedaghi initially appeared as a wealthy and unemployed young woman whose parents financed her lifestyle. Her arguments, family dynamics, romances, and close but combative friendships quickly became central to the series.
She was one of four original stars, alongside MJ, Reza, and Mike, who remained principal cast members through the ninth and final season. "Shahs of Sunset" ended in 2021 after 128 episodes.

Business Ventures
Gharachedaghi and her sister launched GG's Extensions, a hair-extension company whose development was featured on "Shahs of Sunset." The venture used a patented attachment system intended to simplify the process of applying extensions.
She later founded Wüsah, a line of cannabis and CBD products. Gharachedaghi has frequently described cannabis as part of her personal wellness routine and promoted the brand through television, events, and social media.
Other projects have included RoGo Farms, the "Genuinely GG" podcast, an OnlyFans account, and Intimately GG, a line of adult wellness products created with Dennis DeSantis. Gharachedaghi later acknowledged that Intimately GG failed after her relationship with DeSantis deteriorated.
Her business activity has been wide-ranging, but no individual venture has been publicly shown to generate the scale of revenue sometimes attributed to her.

"The Valley: Persian Style"
Gharachedaghi returned to Bravo in 2026 as a principal cast member of "The Valley: Persian Style." The series reunited her with MJ and Reza while introducing a new group of Persian-American friends living in the San Fernando Valley.
Her storylines included single motherhood, searching for and renovating a new home, concerns about credit and financing, her changing relationship with her parents, and renewed conflict with DeSantis.
The program also showed Gharachedaghi attempting to become less dependent on family assistance as her parents grew older.
Health
Gharachedaghi has discussed living with rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disorder that caused significant pain and affected her mobility. She received aggressive medical treatment and became an outspoken advocate for cannabis-based wellness products.
Her health experience played a major role in the creation and promotion of Wüsah.
Personal Life
Gharachedaghi became engaged to Omid Kalantari in 2012, but they ended the engagement the following year.
She married Shalom Yeroushalmi in January 2017. The relationship deteriorated almost immediately, and they separated within weeks. Their divorce was completed in 2018.
Gharachedaghi later decided to become a mother through IVF using donor sperm. She welcomed her son, Elijah Javad Gharachedaghi, on April 27, 2020.
In November 2024, she married longtime friend and business partner Dennis DeSantis in Las Vegas. The marriage was annulled approximately ten days later. Their brief marriage and subsequent disputes became a major part of "The Valley: Persian Style."
