'RHONJ' Star Melissa Gorga and Her Husband Boast an Impressive Net Worth

The cast of Real Housewives of New Jersey is a little more interesting with Melissa Gorga as part of the lineup. She joined the show in its third season back in 2011, and the rest has been history. One of her biggest storylines was (and continues to be) the drama she consistently has with her sister-in-law, Teresa Giudice.

Although Melissa and Teresa's relationship has officially come to an end, they are trying to set aside their differences for the sake of their children's relationship, who are currently still on talking terms, per Bravo. However, it's safe to say their constant feuding has boosted the show's viewership, likely earning Melissa a significant amount of money. But just how much are we talking?

From the outside looking in, it appears Melissa is truly living a charmed life. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Melissa has a net worth of $3 million, which is combined with that of her husband, Joe Gorga. According to his Instagram bio, Joe is a real estate developer, author, and stand-up comedian (you heard that right!). He's also a fellow cast member on RHONJ.

The luxurious mansion they lived in while filming the show was actually one of the projects Joe worked on himself! Interestingly enough, Melissa was able to handle the interior home decor with the help of Teresa.

If it looks like Melissa and Joe have expensive taste based on what you've seen during their episodes of RHONJ, it's because they do. And their likely able to afford this lavish lifestyle thanks to their business endeavors and earnings from RHONJ. Along with being a reality TV star, author, interior designer, and singer, Melissa is also known as a savvy businesswoman.

She launched her clothing line called Envy by Melissa Gorga, which offers any piece of clothing a shopper might be after. Jewelry, bikinis, cable-knit sweaters, boots, bodysuits, hats, sunglasses, and more are available for purchase through the official website.or at her boutique located in Ridgewood, N.J. It's also safe to say she's earning a commission from the partnerships she's formed with brands like Gravity Defyer.

Before getting married, she graduated with a bachelor's degree in education and psychology from New Jersey City University. If Melissa wanted to pursue a career in the field of her degree, she totally could — but she's got other business ventures to focus on.

In 2011, she attempted to enter into the music scene by launching a solo music career. She released a single called “On Display” on iTunes, but it received mixed ratings and reviews from listeners.

She didn’t let any negative feedback get her down though. Since then, she’s dropped a handful of new singles. In 2013, she delved into the world of authorship with her memoir Love Italian Style: The Secrets of My Hot and Happy Marriage.

Living large is something Melissa and her husband take very seriously. They spent almost $1 million on a New Jersey home back in 2009 since it came with a movie theater, gym, recording studio, hair salon, and more.

They sold the home in 2020 for $2.5 million and moved into another million-dollar home in 2019 with seven bedrooms! In 2021, they listed their second home for sale for $2.9 million. Although it's unclear how much that home sold for, in November 2022, the couple moved into a new home in Franklin Lakes, per Bravo.
