Overview
Miss USA to Reality TV
Born January 24, 1971 in Detroit, Moore won Miss USA in 1993 and later placed in the top six at Miss Universe. After an acting career that included Waiting to Exhale and Deliver Us from Eva, she joined The Real Housewives of Atlanta in 2012 and became one of its central figures across roughly 11 seasons (Wikipedia).
Salary and Business
Court filings from her divorce indicated she earned about $89,050 per month — just over $1 million a year — from the show. She launched the Kenya Moore Haircare line in 2014 and competed on The Celebrity Apprentice in 2015.
The 2024 Departure
Moore was suspended during RHOA filming in June 2024 and subsequently dismissed by Bravo after an investigation into her displaying explicit images of a castmate at a business event — a characterization she disputed (The Hollywood Reporter).
Why Kenya Moore’s Net Worth Is Lower Than Expected
Despite years of seven-figure reality-TV income, reputable trackers estimate Moore’s net worth well under $1 million — a reminder that high earnings and accumulated wealth are different things. Legal costs, business investments and lifestyle can absorb even a substantial salary, and the 2024 loss of her main TV income adds pressure going forward.
