Danielle Staub is certainly one name that you would recognize from none other than 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey'. The star first came to prominence on Season 1 of the hit Bravo show back in 2010. Danielle, who became a fan favorite due to her shock value personality and cutthroat ways, made headlines news after co-star, Teresa Giudice, flipped a table on her during the season finale. This put the show on the map and brought Danielle Staub to nationwide fame and success.
Despite her time on the show, and being engaged 21 times, Danielle Staub has found herself in a lot of financial troubles, so much that she is currently $1 million in debt, yes, you read that right, $1 million in debt! Although she made it big on 'The Real Housewives', this wasn't enough for Staub to support her lavish and luxe lifestyle. So, how did she really fall into the red? Let's find out!
How Much Is Danielle Staub Worth?
Danielle Staub first appeared on our television screens back in 2010 when she was cast as one of the original members of 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey'. Staub appeared alongside Teresa Giudice, Dina Manzo, Jacqueline Laurita, and Caroline Manzo, which is without a doubt one of the most iconic 'Real Housewives' casts of all time. Danielle, who was freshly divorced come the first season, found herself in quite a lot of financial trouble. In 1993, the star married Thomas Staub, an American businessman who is reported to be worth a whopping $6 million! Thomas built his worth as the CFO and then CEO of Aerobics Inc, which certainly sat well with Danielle.
The couple split in 2007, leaving Danielle with very little in the bank. Danielle and Thomas share their two daughters, Jillian, and Christine, and while Staub supports his kids, he did everything in his power to ensure that his ex, Danielle, wouldn't receive a penny. This set up did not work well for Danielle, which was documented on the first two seasons of 'RHONJ', prior to Staub's departure. It was at this time that the reality star was forced to sell her Jersey mansion, leaving her on the hunt for her next husband.
With a number of failed businesses, and issues surrounding her finances, Danielle revealed on 'RHONJ' that she relies on finding a man that is able to take care of her and her children. This seemed to have been the case for Staub when history repeated itself and the star married her then third husband, Marty Caffrey. The couple did not last more than a year, leaving Danielle with her 21st engagement ring, yes, you read that right, Staub has been engaged 21 times as of now, and a court order to vacate Caffrey's Jersey mansion.
While she has always made it work, especially for the sake of her kids, Danielle has found herself $1 million in debt! According to Celebrity Net Worth, the star filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy where she claimed to be in a lot of debt. After her return to the show, which earned Danielle a nice paycheck, fans and her fellow co-stars were no longer interested in her on-screen antics, leaving her to be fired by Bravo, yet again.
