The Real Housewives of New Jersey know how to bring the drama and Melissa Gorga has often seen herself at the center of it. After joining in season three, Melissa quickly established herself as one of the bigger personalities, increasing her paycheck to around $750,000.

Originally a stay-at-home mom, Melissa saw the business opportunities that came with her newfound fame and opened her own clothing boutique called Envy by Melissa Gorga. Things were suspicious for Gorga last year when she was caught selling fake Chanel bags in her boutique.
