Unfortunately, Bethenny Frankel Won't Be Getting Any of Paul Bernon's Millions

Before Bethenny Frankel officially announced her March 2021 engagement to Paul Bernon, the Real Housewives of New York star was spotted on vacation in March 2021 with a huge rock that told her business for her. According to Fox Business, the ring has eight to ten carats and is worth around $1 million.

At the time, Bethenny and Paul, a film producer, had been dating since 2018 after connecting on a dating app.

Even though there was a brief breakup back in 2020, they seemed to be going strong until Bethenny was spotted without her massive ring on social media. Sources have since confirmed the couple called off their engagement.

While Bethenny and Paul aren't getting married, we heard the Just B podcaster still gets to keep her diamond. And since Paul dropped a fortune on the ring, it's clear he makes a lot of money. So, what is Paul Bernon's net worth?

While Paul is able to make his own money now, it looks like he also grew up with a lot of it. His father, Alan J. Bernon, is a founding partner of Garelick Farms. The business has been bought and sold a few times over the years, but Paul's dad sold it in the '90s in a deal that was worth close to $300 million. 

On top of that, Paul is a film producer with a number of big pictures under his belt thanks to his company Burn Later Productions, and has been producing films since 2010. He's even gotten to work with some big stars like Olivia Wilde, Anna Kendrick, and Jake Johnson. But he also works in real estate and is a principal of Rubicon Real Estate, LLC. 

Because of all his success in his different pursuits, Paul's got a pretty high net worth. Right now, it's estimated to be anywhere from $10 to $20 million. 

Bethenny and Paul have yet to confirm their split. Much like their engagement, the pair seemingly plans to keep what led to their breakup private. Nonetheless, a report from Us Weekly stated the couple was "so different" from one another, which ultimately affected their relationship.

Bethenny has been married before. She married businessman Jason Hoppy in 2010, but then filed for divorce in early 2013, according to Page Six. The two have a daughter together named Bryn, who was also on the Florida vacation where Bethenny's engagement ring was first spotted.

Bethenny was open about Paul and Bryn's relationship in an interview with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live from 2019. Not only do they get along well enough to travel together, but Bethenny also said Bryn loved Paul. "Bryn knows him and loves him," she shared. They're very, very similar people."

In that same interview, Bethenny said she thought the custody battles between Jason and her would be over soon. She received her wish in 2020 when she was awarded full legal custody, per E! News. In December 2021, Bethenny also no longer had to pay child support to Jason for Bryn and was also awarded primary residential custody.

While Bethenny and Jason were back and forth in court due to custody issues, financial issues, and harassment charges, they're now in a healthy co-parenting for Bryn. But, even though she's single, Bravo fans shouldn't expect the exes to reunite for a Bethenny Getting Married part two.
