Bag secured?
One thing about Porsha Williams: She plays no games when it comes to building her empire. As a star of Real Housewives of Atlanta, Porsha has come out of her shell and made strides in the entertainment and social justice spaces. As a result, her celebrity status is at an all-time high.
With her newest (and somewhat controversial!) relationship development with Simon Guobadia, Porsha continues to remain focused on chasing the bag.
So, what is Porsha Williams’ net worth? Read on to get the lowdown on the star’s pockets.
Porsha Williams’ net worth was less than $1 million before she married Simon Guobadia.
Since Porsha has been a recurring cast member on the RHOA — one of the most popular Bravo shows — fans expect for the star to have a net worth in the millions. But her net worth is not quite that big yet.
Various online reports state that Porsha has accumulated a net worth of approximately $400,000. This number is the combination of her appearance on RHOA, her bedding line Pampered By Porsha, her work on the show Dish Nation, and her hair extensions line Go Naked Hair.
In November 2022, Porsha's net worth skyrocketed when she married Simon during an American and Nigerian wedding ceremony. Simon is worth a whopping $40 million, so Porsha is expected to get a piece of the pie once they have jumped the broom. However, after 15 months of marriage, Porsha filed for divorce, and Simon wants to make sure she doesn't get a dime from him.
Porsha Williams and Simon Guobadia's divorce turned ugly (and expensive) in 2024.
Like her or not, Porsha Williams is well on her way to becoming a mainstay on the Bravo network. After taking a "pause" from RHOA after Season 13, she landed a three-part special, Porsha's Family Matters, which aired in November 2021.
In February 2024, Porsha announced that she reclaimed her peach for Season 16 of RHOA. Essence reported that she also inked an overall scripted talent deal with NBCUniversal Entertainment. Through the deal, Porsha "will collaborate solely with NBCUniversal Entertainment on scripted projects, spanning across the company’s broadcast and streaming platforms."
“I’m incredibly thankful for the vision and faith NBCUniversal has put in me to be a larger part of their family,” the Pursuit of Porsha author said of the deal. “I’m looking forward to being back on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and showing the world my new world!”
While Porsha seemed excited about returning back to RHOA, Simon made sure her coming back wouldn't be easy. After Porsha filed for divorce, the two battled in court over their shared Atlanta mansion and their November 2022 prenup. Simon demanded in court that Porsha not film any RHOA scenes at the home and also asked to see Porsha's scenes and conversations about him beforehand.
Porsha fired back with an emergency order for Simon to allow her to film at the home they shared when they were married. She said in filing that filming the show was "vital to her ability to sustain her income and employment.” Simon also hinted at taking the gifts he gave Porsha, including a Rolls Royce in 2022.
During Porsha's friend Shamea Morton's birthday party, Simon commented under a video of her husband, Gerald Mwangi, surprising her with a Rolls Royce. Simon gave Porsha a similar car but said in a shady Instagram post that Shamea was "the only cast member with a [Rolls Royce].” The RHOA star clapped back by telling Simon Shamea also has a "debt-free husband who is a US citizen." Yikes.
Porsha's unsavory split, paired with her hilarious personality, is why RHOA fans are happy to have her back. Here's hoping she receives her millions on her own terms!
