Meet the newest member of The Real Housewives of Orange County cast, Braunwyn Windham-Burke. She joined the RHOC team in its 14th season as the only new housewife after Vicki Gunvalson, who was one of the main housewives for 13 seasons, was demoted to a 'friend'. She found a connection through the Balboa Bay Club. Here goes her net worth piece.
Born on November 25, 1977 [age 42], in California, Braunwyn was a stay-at-home mom before she was on RHOC by taking care of her seven children, with husband Sean Burke, of every age upto college. She's been a mom her entire adult life but does have the weirdest fantasies. Yes, the threesome experience (she has rules about that though). The bi-curiosity was already fulfilled after making out with Tamra Judge at Shannon Beador's birthday party.
Do not underestimate her net worth value.

In terms of wealth, she's not far behind other housewives, but being a new member of the team, she is expected to have a small salary. While Beador's net worth of $10 million, the same for Kelly Dodd (who introduced her on RHOC), and Gunvalson's $7.3 million might be a little intimidating, she still has better wealth than the show's long-running housewife, Judge's $3 million, and the show's last newcomers, Gina Kirschenheiter's $1 million and Emily Simpson's $900,000.
Where Braunwyn Windham-Burke's 2020 Net Worth of $3.3 Million Comes From — Income Sources
As of January 2020, Braunwyn Windham-Burke is worth $3.3 million. Apart from joining the drama in RHOC, much of her wealth is the shared value with her husband, Sean, who is the CEO of ChannelStars, while also being a blogger and a social media personality since joining RHOC. Of course, she earns through sponsored posts on Instagram too. A lot of things she can try out while staying at home. The RHOC salary is about $60,000 for the first season. But when she gets called back for her second season, it will likely increase, no doubt. She's becoming a favorite already.
Braunwyn's net worth is boosted by her Instagram posts as well. She has a fashionista sense about her.

Windham-Burke joined RHOC with the intention of showing she can still have fun and be glamorous while having to take care of such a wide age-range of kids. Meanwhile, her relationship with her mother continues to remain estranged since joining the show. She knows her relationship with her mom, who goes by the name 'Dr. Deb' (real name Deborah Windham) wasn't going well after Dr. Deb became a holistic medicine-practitioner.
The cast members have held a convention for her as she gets closer to the members, Judge, Beador, Dodd, Gina Kirschenheiter and Emily Simpson. The relationship with Gunvalson, however, might be a little off the road right now. You know, the whole Burke replacing her fiasco.
Braunwyn and Sean's youngest is Hazel Burke, who was born just back in 2018, while their oldest is Bella Burke, who's already 19 and off to college. The middle children are Rowan Burke, 17; Jacob Burke, 14; twin boys Caden and Curran Burke, 6; and daughter Koa Burke, 4.
The CEO Salary of Mr. Burke Keeps the Family's Finances Strong
While many of the housewives have somehow gotten themselves tangled up in divorces since joining the show, there hasn't been much of a problem in Windham-Burke's family of nine. Of course, the threesome thing might be something that could get in the way, but the seven kids are bound to keep them tight-knit.
Besides, her childhood sweetheart Sean is the CEO of a pretty successful business organization called ChannelStars. It helps other companies establish themselves through the media world (not the news, but the graphics) with strategic planning marketing, and content & video creation. He's been the president for the last ten years, and there's no doubt he's handling the family finances quite well.
Braunwyn is finally done making babies.

As for all the ruckus kids undoubtedly cause, Mrs. Burke has two nannies to support her through all of it. Paying off their salaries, not a big deal either. But there'll be no more kids adding into the family now. "We are out of embryos. We are done. Seven kids is a lot," she shared.
Braunwyn is a Successful Mommy Blogger and Owns a Love Shack in Miami
You heard it right. Being a full-time mother of seven kids pulls in that mommy experience seven-fold, and what better way to use that experience than to advise other moms to tackle their family problems as well. While others may not have a net worth value as much as she does, they can ditch the idea of double-nannies and use her other sound advice.
Describing herself as a globe-trotting mom, she opened a blog called Barefoot in Heels, where she gives parenting advice for other moms or moms-to-be. Of course, she was always talking with her husband about wanting to do something else than just being a stay-at-home mom before the show. When nothing happened, she started the blog. Her net worth might be only boosted a little by the hobby.
Yes, the blog is really successful. Move your eyes away from Braunwyn to the words above their two kids.

Bravo TV's bio for Braunwyn mentioned she frequently is "escaping to her love shack with husband Sean". In an interview with People, she elaborated on the fact, "The love shack started in Miami. We had a house and then we had this place that we would go to because at the time we had a live-in au pear, a nanny, six kids, a housekeeper. Our house was always full. So, we had a place to go to where we could kind of date each other."
Yes, she does know how to keep her marriage spicy and working.
Braunwyn hates conflicts, but when joining RHOC, she should have known she would be getting into a lot of it. Still, she knows how to stay happy and work on mending fences with the conflicting people in her life. We'll be seeing a lot more of her now.
