It's no doubt that being in reality television is as profitable a business as any other, and NeNe Leakes' net worth goes to prove just that, as the reality star among other things started her impressive fortune with her long-running stint the Bravo show "The Real Housewives of Atlanta."
Though now she's also an actress, producer, fashion designer and author, it's known that it all began with reality television, as NeNe Leakes' net worth started growing exponentially after she first started on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" in 2008, which is by far the most successful show in the "Real Housewives" franchise and altogether in Bravo.
Recently, Hollywood Life reported that, after NeNe Leakes' net worth has grown vastly and rapidly in the last few years starring as a reality star, it hasn't stopped her from becoming the biggest bully on the show, and co-star Claudia Jordan is now fed up with the way Leakes has been treating everybody, most of it herself.
"It's sad because NeNe has a huge following..." Jordan said about her co-star, according to ClassicaLite, "and when she makes comments that I am a whore without any kind of proof, it can be really damaging. Woman [sic] have got to stop doing that to each other. I am not going to sit there and be bullied...I am not going to let people do that to me."
Of course, being a bully on the show - and in general, as that's the way Leakes has projected her public persona - is exactly what has made NeNe Leakes' net worth grow so much in the past few years, as she's basically the character everybody loves to hate; so much so that, last year, after Joan Rivers' death and before E! announced Kathy Griffin as her replacement, NeNe was rumored to be a possible replacement for the comedienne in "Fashion Police," as reported by Food World News.
Currently, NeNe Leakes' net worth stands at $10 million according to Celebrity Net Worth - seeing as the strategy works, it seems unlikely she'll stop playing the bully anytime soon!
