About Teresa Giudice
You’ve seen her as the lavish spender on Bravo’s over-the-top reality show The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Teresa Giudice brings a whole new meaning to ‘living beyond your means’ and Bravo’s cameras were there to document every financial and personal indiscretion of this luxury-loving reality celeb.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice and her husband Joe Giudice filed for bankruptcy in 2011 with $11 million worth of debt. In 2015 Teresa Giudice served 11 months in prison for fraud charges and while her financial situation has improved as of 2023, she’s still worth a fraction of what she once was in the peak of her career.
Teresa Giudice’s peak net worth may have been as high at $10 million.
New Jersey Born And Bred
Giudice was born in Paterson, New Jersey on May 18, 1972 to Italian immigrant parents. She studied at Berkeley College and earned a degree in Fashion Marketing and Management, a move that helped her land a contributing role at Vogue magazine.
She married her childhood sweetheart, Giuseppe (Joe) Giudice more than 10 years ago, and the couple is proud parents to four daughters—Gia (born in 2001), Gabriella (born in 2004), Milania (born in 2005) and Audriana (born in 2009). They later separated and eventually divorced in 2019.
The Hot Temper Housewife
Giudice has been with The Real Housewives of New Jersey since its debut in 2009. During the show’s two seasons, Giudice has given the show’s audience an intimate glimpse of her family life, including her pregnancy, breast augmentation surgery, financial woes and fiery feud with cast mate Danielle Staub.
In October 2009, Giudice and her husband filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy with over $11 million in debt. She blamed her family’s debt on New Jersey’s real estate market, namely the tenants at her husband’s various rental properties.
Despite the personal turmoil, Giudice has managed to build a successful personal brand, including her accessories line, TG Fabulicious Guidette, and a New York Times best-selling cookbook, Skinny Italian: Eat It and Enjoy It: Live La Bella Vita and Look Great, Too!
From Feuding To Financial Woes
Giudice suffered another personal embarrassment in the summer 2010 as a bankruptcy lawyer filed a complaint on the couple, alleging they hid financial assets from the courts. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court later ordered a public auction of the Giudices’ personal property in August 2010.
Her financial worries are only a small part of her story on The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
Much of the show’s focus over the past seasons has been on the cast’s tumultuous relationship, including a memorable table-flipping incident between Giudice and Staub during the season one reunion special.
Giudice and her family was signed on for season three of The Real Housewives, though the show didn’t include Staub. Rumors circulating around the show mention a new cast mate who has a rocky relationship with Giudice. No matter what happens, one thing’s for sure: Giudice will continue to grace the small screen with her scandalous antics for the foreseeable future.
Teresa Giudice has been a cast member of The Real Housewives of New Jersey since season 1.
In 2012, Giudice joined the cast of The Celebrity Apprentice 5, and ultimately raised $70,000 for her selected charity, The NephCure Foundation. She is also a committee member for Project Ladybug, a charity founded by fellow RHONJ co-star Dina Manzo.
