Kyle Richards revealed she bought a new home far away from the 90210 zip code—but it doesn’t sound like she’ll be making a permanent move to her new place.
In a recent interview, “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star dished on two investment purchases she’s made since separating from her husband, Maurivio Umansky, in 2023.
“One’s in California, and one’s in Tennessee, and, you know, I feel pretty good about it,” Richards told The Daily Dish in an interview published in January 2026.
“I just want to just do something that I, you know, as a newly single woman, can say, ‘This is something that I’m doing; it’s my investment,’” she continued. “Because even now, Mau will share things like, ‘Oh, I’m making an investment and these investments,’ and I’m like, ‘What can I do on my own that I can feel good about?’ And I’ve always been good at real estate, you know. I’ve chosen the majority of our homes, and it’s always worked out well for me, business-wise.”
Kyle Richards Said She’s ‘Passionate’ About Real Estate
BravoRichards owns several properties with her estranged husband. In addition to their main family home in Encino, CA, where Richards still resides, the exes share homes in Palm Springs, CA, and Aspen, CO. But the RHOBH star clearly isn’t done buying properties; it’s just being done on her own now.
In November 2025, Richards teased one of her solo real estate purchases and compared it to buying stocks.
“I just bought another home,” the mom of four told The Daily Dish of her growing real estate portfolio. “You know, people do stocks. They do other investments. Like, real estate is what I love. I’m very passionate about it. It’s the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning. People think I am looking through my emails. No, I am looking at real estate all the time. I know every market of every state you could imagine.”
Kyle Richards Once Had Her Real Estate License
GettyRichards has long had a knack for real estate. While Umansky is the head of the luxury real estate brokerage firm The Agency, it was actually Richards’ idea to get him into that business.
In an episode of Umansky’s former Netflix show, “Buying Beverly Hills,” Umansky revealed that Richards came up with the idea to get into real estate after he lost his job at his family’s clothing store. She even joined him in the venture.
“I was crying [after losing my job] and Kyle was an extraordinary wife,” he said on the “Family Dynasty” episode of the Netflix series. “She sat down with me and said, ‘We’re gonna figure something out.’ And she said, ‘Let’s go get our real estate licenses together.’”
Speaking on Dear Media’s “Trading Secrets with Jason Tartick” podcast in early 2023, Umansky revealed that he and Richards struggled financially in their early years of marriage, but “grew together.” “When we started, we didn’t have any money,” Umansky said on the podcast. “My wife was clipping coupons, you know, to go to the supermarket. Like we literally had to build everything.”
Today, Richards and Umansky’s net worth is estimated to be more than $100 million, per Celebrity Net Worth.
