The biggest clue? Amanda Frances quietly purchased Kyle Richards’ beloved Bel-Air estate back in January 2022 for a staggering $6.1 million — a power move that went largely unnoticed until whispers of her RHOBH involvement began circulating.
The jaw-dropping home, famously featured on RHOBH for nearly a decade, served as the backdrop to some of the franchise’s most iconic moments — from lavish parties and dramatic confrontations to deeply personal family scenes. That estate is now under Amanda’s name, and insiders say her entrance into the Beverly Hills social circle has already sent shockwaves through the cast.
Though Amanda, a mother of two, has remained mostly tight-lipped about her Bravo debut, her social media presence is anything but shy. Known online for her ultra-glam lifestyle brand and unfiltered approach to wealth coaching, Amanda has built a multi-million-dollar empire preaching financial independence, divine feminine energy, and unapologetic ambition. With over a decade of influence online, her appearance on RHOBH is already being dubbed by fans as “the soft-launch of Beverly Hills 3.0.”
“Amanda isn’t here to blend in,” one production source told us. “She’s got the look, the house, the history—and a real agenda. She’s coming into this cast knowing exactly who she is and what she wants to say.”
While it remains unclear exactly how Amanda Frances was cast or when she began filming, her sudden proximity to the iconic Richards estate — and the fact that she now resides in the very same home where Kyle raised her family — has stirred more than just curiosity. It’s sparked comparisons, speculation about potential tension with long-time cast members, and even rumors that Kyle herself may have played a role in Amanda’s quiet casting.
Adding another layer of intrigue: Amanda and her family appear picture-perfect, with recent images showing her husband and two children living the quintessential luxe Beverly Hills life. But Bravo fans know all too well — appearances on this show are rarely what they seem, and every pristine lawn has secrets buried beneath it.
As filming for the new season ramps up, all eyes are now on Amanda Frances — the woman who bought Kyle’s house, stole the headlines, and may soon be stealing scenes. Whether she’s here to empower or provoke, one thing’s for sure: Beverly Hills has a new Queen to watch.
