Tinsley Mortimer is certainly one name that you have heard before! Whether it is from her work in fashion, or on the hit Bravo show, 'The Real Housewives', Tinsley has done it all. The star first came to prominence in the mid-2000s after becoming the "it" girl in New York City. She was all anyone could talk about and found herself in PageSix more time than we are certain she'd like. After her life as a socialite, Tinsley joined the cast of 'RHONY', however, she bid fans a farewell after this past season's strange reunion, as she is off to Chicago with fiancé, Scott Kluth.
While her lifestyle was quite extravagant, it appears as if Tinsley didn't like to share too much about her rise to fame and her family's finances on the show. Despite it being obvious that she not only comes from money, but once married into even more money, fans still wonder just how Tinsley Mortimer amassed her impressive $35 million net worth, and here's how!
How Tinsley Mortimer Amassed So Much
Tinsley Mortimer has been on our radar ever since the 2000s. The star was the "it" girl that reigned throughout New York City, and it was all thanks to her wealthy upbringing and status as a Mortimer. In 2002, Tinsley Mortimer married Robert Mortimer, also known as Topper Mortimer, an insanely wealthy family with ties to Standard Oil. Although much of Tinsley's wealth during her marriage came primarily from her ex-hubby, Topper, Tinsley is no stranger to family money.
The star comes from a wealthy family herself, inheriting a fortune from her parents! Tinsley grew up in South Carolina, in the state's most affluent community, after moving over to Virginia, where she was considered a socialite. Due to her status at the time, and undergoing a very public and scandalous divorce, Tinsley earned herself the lead on the 2010 reality show, 'High Society'.
Although her divorce, which ultimately led Tinsley down a dark path, in which a mugshot was collected along the way, she reigned through the 2000s and was seen just about everywhere! New York City became her playground, appearing on the cover of countless magazine covers, strutting the runways of New Yor Fashion Week, and of course, hosting some of the best parties in the Hamptons, where she would brush shoulders with some of New York's most elite.
Despite Tinsley going on to make money of her own, through her many endorsements and role on Bravo's, 'The Real Housewives of New York City', the star really has her family and divorce settlement to thank when it comes to her whopping $35 million net worth! Although having family money is nothing to keep hush-hush, Tinsley has always been very modest when it comes to her wealth, keeping the topic of money undiscussed, as it doesn't match her southern charm behavior!
