The divorce between Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards and real estate mogul Mauricio Umansky has been a hot topic, but new details about their settlement are stealing the spotlight. Sources close to the couple reveal that Kyle is set to walk away with a significant portion of Mauricio’s massive $57 billion real estate empire, marking a life-changing financial win for the reality TV icon.
A Power Couple’s Empire
Kyle Richards, 56, and Mauricio Umansky, 55, were married for 27 years before their separation in July 2023. Together, they built a formidable empire, blending Kyle’s fame from RHOBH with Mauricio’s success as the CEO of The Agency, a luxury real estate brokerage. The Agency, which Mauricio founded in 2011, has grown into a global powerhouse, handling over $57 billion in real estate transactions across 100 offices in 11 countries. From high-profile clients like Michael Jordan to sprawling properties in Aspen and Beverly Hills, the couple’s business ventures have been nothing short of spectacular.
Their shared success extended beyond real estate. The couple co-owned properties, investments, and other assets, including a $6 million Encino home purchased in 2017 and an $8.2 million mansion in La Quinta’s Madison Club. These properties, along with their business interests, are now at the center of their divorce negotiations.
Divorce Details: No Prenup, Big Payout
Insiders report that Kyle and Mauricio did not have a prenuptial agreement when they married in 1996, a decision that could significantly impact the division of their assets. California’s community property laws mean that assets acquired during the marriage are typically split 50/50, and sources suggest Kyle is poised to receive a “life-changing” sum. “Kyle’s payout is going to be massive,” a source told In Touch. “We’re talking about a fortune that could secure her future for generations.”
The absence of a prenup complicates the settlement, especially given Mauricio’s high-profile business dealings and their shared investments. The Agency’s valuation, tied to its $57 billion in sales, includes lucrative commissions and partnerships with global developers. Kyle, who has been a visible supporter of Mauricio’s business, appearing in promotional events and even co-starring in the Netflix series Buying Beverly Hills, is reportedly entitled to a significant share of these profits.
Navigating the Split
Despite the high stakes, sources say the couple is working to keep the divorce amicable. Kyle and Mauricio have prioritized their four daughters—Farrah, 36, Alexia, 28, Sophia, 25, and Portia, 17—ensuring their family remains close-knit. Mauricio has moved into a $13 million West Hollywood condo, while Kyle remains in their Encino home. The couple has been spotted together at family events, including Portia’s sweet 16 party in March 2024, signaling their commitment to co-parenting.
However, tensions have surfaced. Kyle has hinted at “bumps in the road” during negotiations, particularly over financial disputes. On RHOBH Season 14, she referenced “issues with the businesses” and expressed frustration over Mauricio’s handling of their separation. Meanwhile, Mauricio has maintained a positive public stance, praising Kyle’s strength and their shared history in interviews.
Kyle’s Next Chapter
As Kyle prepares for life post-divorce, her financial future looks secure. Beyond her potential settlement, she continues to thrive as a reality TV star, actress, and producer. Her role on RHOBH remains a cornerstone of her career, and she’s leveraged her fame into endorsement deals and a memoir, Life Is Not a Reality Show. Sources say Kyle is focused on her independence, with one insider noting, “She’s ready to move forward and build her own legacy.”
The divorce, while emotionally challenging, hasn’t dimmed Kyle’s star power. Fans are eagerly watching her navigate this new chapter, both on RHOBH and in her personal life. With a reported net worth of $100 million before the settlement, Kyle’s slice of Mauricio’s empire could push her wealth to new heights, cementing her status as one of Beverly Hills’ most formidable players.
What’s Next for Mauricio?
Mauricio, meanwhile, continues to lead The Agency, which shows no signs of slowing down. The brokerage recently expanded with new offices in Lisbon and Dubai, and Mauricio’s Netflix series has been renewed for a third season. Despite the personal upheaval, he remains a titan in the real estate world, with deals spanning from California to the Caribbean.
As the divorce proceedings unfold, all eyes are on Kyle and Mauricio. Their ability to balance family, business, and a high-profile split has captivated fans and industry insiders alike. One thing is clear: Kyle Richards is walking away with more than just drama—she’s securing a legacy that will outlast the headlines.
