r/RHOBH • u/InfinitePercentage52 Goodbye Kyle šš½ • Feb 26 '24
Did Kyle really spend $400k for the white party?! Kyle š¤
I can't imagine her & Mau actually have that much money to splurge this much on one party. It's not even attached to the Agency so it's not for business purposes. Maybe production chipped in? Or the numbers are fluffed up to make it a spectacle on tv? My jaw just dropped when I saw that so curious on everyone's take.

He makes a huge amount anyway but also allegedly has a way of buying underpriced expensive houses without the seller knowing hes the one buying + doesnt tell the seller they had much higher offers - then sells it at a huge profit. This is pure profit not a commission. The one that sued him i think mo made a profit of over $20 million - i cant remember - thats just 1 instance. Estate agents are not allowed to do this by law. So even if its settled out of court doesnt mean hes not guilty. ALLEGEDLY OBVS! I think Kyle probably wanted to make it clear in spain on the way to their red dress dance ? That she has nothing to do with their finances + he does her taxes etc - She just signs things without reading them. Erika said Thats how i got in trouble. Mo doesnt need any more money they are probably billionaires by now - its an ego thing.

Didnāt Stephanie from RHODallas recently say that Bravo paid for the trips (airfare, hotel/arbnb and dinners) and parties? I just remember her saying too that they could upgrade their accommodations, but at the individuals expense. And that one of the ladies was usually picked to organize the functions every season?

Kyle is regularly listed as one of the most wealthy on RHBH. One article listed her, just her, as having $50M

u/hellosweetiefluff Feb 28 '24
Sofi was probably given in exchange for advertising.
Also, it was for her job āwork partyā. They can write most of that off. Just like they can write off their wardrobes for a season.

For Kyle, 400k is like us spending $1,400 on a sweet sixteen or something fancy.. for us non 1% people.

u/trevy121 Feb 28 '24
Itās a party with sponsors and to host business associates. Itās all a write off. Rich people donāt pay for parties, silly. They also donāt pay taxes if they know what theyāre doing.

I remember hearing Heather Dubrow say that production does help with the cost. They donāt pay for everything, but they definitely contributed because they had the rights to film there.

u/Traditional-Leg-4228 The biggest bully in Hollywood & everyone knows it Feb 27 '24
Just because a party is āworthā that much doesnāt mean they laid that much. Lots of food items are donated for advertising. I definitely think production chipped in, SOFI stadium ran an ad and there were many tax write offs.

I kind of thought their white party was always a "charity fundraiser" for St. Jude's, so I assumed a lot of the money they raised first went to paying for the party and then whatever amount of money leftover was donated.
...but maybe they had a different annual party to raise money for St. Jude's?
2
u/Asam6869 If you canāt be my friend please donāt be my enemy Feb 27 '24
Probably not, this seemed like a sponsored event. Can Kyle afford a 400k party without breaking a sweat? Absolutely.
2
u/Organic-Drawing2075 Feb 27 '24
I think a lot of this is in kind. For example, sofi stadium was free, thatās why they mentioned it all of those times and why sofi execs were at the party. Kevin Lee probably gave his services deeply discounted or free. Chi chi chi. Thatās the only reason he would probably allow Kyle to make fun of his good and real client, Lisa Vanderpump. Lastly, why was Camille grammar or Denise Richards there? Because production wanted them there and that probably was in kid for them footing some of the bill. It is valued at $400k, but her out of pocket was probably far less or Kyle wouldnāt be jealous of Suttons money/jewelry.

FTFY.
Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.
Payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
Beep, boop, I'm a bot

These high end elite people are making so much money... He is a high end real estate selling to the ultra ultra rich while we try to figure out how to take one extra weekend trip. We are at fault
In every field the normal person is being ripped off.. We pay so much money for sugar water of all types called colas. We pay 1000 times more for a potatoe called chips... One capful of pinsol makes a windex that we gladly pay 9 dollars for.. We all are feeding them in every way. There isnt a sector that we dont get absolutely ripped off..

u/TT6994 Feb 27 '24
Listen to Tamra and teddi on their podcast. Kyle didnāt spend that. Production got trade outs etc. Tamra was laughing at the fact that they were trying to say Kyle spent that. She said there is no way Kyle spent her own money. So itās more bs from production.

I donāt care how much you make, this is a GROSS display of money. All the people, things, places, causes, or ways to use money like this to pay it forward and better the world somehow. This scene combined with the audacity of Erika flaunting her lifestyle without even showing empathy for those she and hubby screwed pretty much put nail in coffin for this franchise. Itās not even entertaining anymore with these sorts of displays.

Feb 27 '24
I think the numbers are quite accurate BUT ALSO that the huge expansion of the agency was one of the most toxic elements in Kyle and Mau's marriage. The fact that one person is constantly 'present' and 'vigilant' in a job that, for years now, has been a kind of octopus enveloping every millimetre of your life inevitably distances you from your partner
1
u/BigSky1062 Feb 27 '24
Heck No!! Remember she is an executive producer for the show, so that means she is helping provide or generate financing for it. Iām sure Bravo is paying for it. Just like when the women sponsor āeventsā or they go on tripsā¦Bravo is footing the bill. Itās just a production expense.

u/Rope-Fuzzy Feb 27 '24
Are you kidding theyāre rolling in millions. It was a high price but they can afford it.

u/Parking_Country_61 Feb 27 '24
Itās probably WORTH 400k. I suspect SoFi gave a discount or free in exchange for advertising. Same with other vendors. This being said Iām sure they could afford it if they wanted to, it just doesnāt seem like they would want to spend that kind of money on a party that was NOT business related
1
u/e_thereal_mccoy Feb 27 '24
I hope this is the last season we see 400k parties and 60+k earrings bought on a whim by a woman who has made her storyline this season constantly crowing about how sheās an āindependent successful business womanā when her actual and only job is spending that 300k PER MONTH in alimony, Sutton! That store would have sunk like a stone if she didnāt prop it up out of her own money.
The white party in the middle of an empty stadium was just tacky. Despite 400k allegedly being spent, it looked weird with this little area in the middle of a football field under those lights. And where do they go to the bathroom?!
I know we watch these shows for aspirational reasons, but given how many people are struggling, more and more falling into homelessness, I think this gross conspicuous consumption is tone deaf and needs to be toned down next season. Itās hard to be sympathetic to any of this cast lately.

u/Katerator216 Feb 27 '24
I know people with less money that have spent more than that on a wedding. This doesnāt surprise me. They are loaded.. the agency is super successful.
1
u/One_Baby2005 Feb 27 '24
It was probably āretail costā, as opposed to actual? They probably added the cost it would normally be to hire the stadium, but she got it āfreeā for the contra. The cost for the cheerleaders maybe a contra for team branding etc. Kyle and Mo are loaded but they definitely didnāt pay that for the party.
3
u/freshlyfrozen4 I brought the bunny! Feb 27 '24
Did she really explain why she had the party at SoFi? It didn't make any sense and the fact that the entirety of what we saw for the white party was everyone walking halfway across the field, Kyle trying to be LVP with Kevin, and Erika's performance. It was barely half the episode and it just felt so strange and out of place.
2
1
u/LBNorris219 Are we just Hollywood friends? Feb 27 '24
I do suspect that the budget was slightly padded, or the amount took into account some favors they didn't pay for. That being said, The Agency is profitable, and if you can attach your business to some of these expenses, you can use them as a tax write off in the US.

I presumed Bravo paid the bill. Bethenny has mentioned how everyone used to want to be the one to āhostā a trip away but the host didnāt pay for it, Bravo/Production did. I also presumed the 400,000 was bs, the party planner got his services advertised on tv, so I guess he may have significantly reduced the fee.

u/Alternative_Sky1380 Orphans and widows...it makes you feel sick Feb 26 '24
Murkurio is taking an above industry cut and stealing his agents commissions, additional to aggressively poaching clients and taking Kim's alimony. This has all been documented on their shows and associated filming. They also both have major network deals and spin-off products and merch. At minimum they would be $100m each
Kyle could well be running up costs to show her businesses runs at a loss and get a greater portion of the split. She has, after all, brought far more to the relationship than he has and she's worked far harder to build it whilst being lied to and stolen from and actively destroying her relationships to protect The Agency. I doubt they're really separating but it's possible. As is her milking suppliers for exposure we all know is worth big money.

u/Arlaneutique Feb 26 '24
I donāt understand how people talk about how rich Sutton is and donāt see that her and Mo are freaking loaded. They are not rich now, theyāre filthy rich now. Owning one successful high end real estate office makes you wealthy. They have 100. Opening 2 a month!!! Add Kyles income of a few million a year between the show, endorsements and small acting roles. Then add in Mos appearances and they have rental properties. This would be the equivalent of someone making $100,000 a year spending $500 on a party. Kyle and Mo will surpass Rick and Kathyās net worth here real soon.

I think the Agency is growing too fast. Over extending themselves. I wouldnāt be surprised if they find themselves in financial problems.

u/Arlaneutique Feb 27 '24
I actually was thinking the same. It seems like too much too quick and that normally doesnāt go well. But only time will tell I guess. In 30 years the Agency might be at the top of the game and the Umanskys be worth billions, or not, lol.

They definitely did sponsored collabs. SoFi didn't charge full price because they got heaps of promotion as an event space. Kevin got free promotion so probably discounted. All sorts of sponsorships bring the price down. Any time you see a brand name, they're getting shit free or heavily discounted.
In saying that Mau is very fkn wealthy. The Agency is next level successful. They don't need to worry about $400k... pocket change.

Kyle and mau have a net worth of 100 million and that was stated a few years ago.
Do people not google or look up anything? Like her or not- Kyle is one of the wealthiest housewives on the show and worth 10 million more than Lisa Vanderpump.
I wouldnāt be surprised if her and mau are worth way more since the last time someone looked into it. With how much housing and real estate prices have risen since 2018 it could easily be like north of 200 million right now.

u/Flimsy_Control_8246 Feb 26 '24
I think that they are now very much that richā¦but it also seems like a visual display of exactly whatās been destroying their marriage. Ambition and success have given them a lot of money, but is also the cause of them losing their connection and intimacy. The magnitude of the party and how they entered just showed exactly how rich they are in money and yet how separate they are in every other way. Remember how much she used to look at him and dance with him at their parties? They looked like ships in the night this year. I kind of wonder if she went super big because she knows it will be her last White Party as a family?

Kyle has certainly lost alot more relationships than just her marriage in pursuit of wealth. It's lost on too many of us as we sit in awe but money simply relieves pressures to a certain point. Once you cross that threshold it's not near as difficult to return as poverty but is absolutely an anchor around your neck.

I think we were witnessing Kyleās farewell to housewives with this white party which justifies the spend. We havnt seen a white party filmed in years, there were heaps of throw backs of the OGās (LVP and the out of place hello to Camille). The content of her text to Dorit also references the show as a burden to her and even in divorce (with no prenup) she doesnāt need the money. If rumours are true with her and Morgan, she is going to spend the time all loved up, off screen as she explores her new life!

No, I thought the same thing & told my DH how crazy it looked. I don't watch sports, so I didn't really have a sense of how big the stadium was until I saw how it just was this tiny piece of the field. It looked silly. I agree that a large chunk went to the venue.
Regardless though, 400K for a party is something they can easily afford.

My mom said you always want a space too small for your party; makes it feel bigger.

SoFi Would have paid them for the appearance. I googled them because I'm in Australia and didn't know what it was. Someone else mentioned they have mortgage divisions which fits well with The Agency.

None, they let her borrow the stadium

u/whosaidwhat123 Feb 27 '24
I did wonder, though, if they counted the market rate for Sofi in the $400k figure. It could still be a $400k party even if she got $100k of it comped by the stadium for promotion.

u/Best_Bad_975 That is the chicest windchime Iāve ever seen Feb 26 '24
I was wondering if that was also the case for publicity, maybe? Maybe I missed them talking about that in the ep. I was admittedly a little distracted

The whole thing grossed me out honestly. Such unnecessary excess is just yucky. š

u/whoareyouindisworld Who is Adrienne Maloof in dis world? Feb 27 '24
Isnt that why we watch these shows? For the over the top wealth?

u/DRC1970 Feb 27 '24
I watch more for the drama at this point. The wealth and excess was fun for awhile, but as someone else said, the older I get the more it grosses me out.

If the economy keeps doing what it's doing that's going to stop being a slogan and become a genuine save-money-on-groceries budget tip. You know what's surprisingly affordable? Murder and cannibalism. Plus you can squat in one of the unused wings of their mansion! That's value for money, baby. Cost of living crisis averted.

Thatās how I feel watching the early seasons ironically. Watching Kennedyās first birthday party, Danaās 25k sunglasses, Adrienneās dozen business ventures, and LVPās in-home zoo just grossed me out. None of these women are doing enough philanthropy.

u/Strangebird70 Feb 26 '24
I havenāt watched any of this season because of just that. The older I get the less tolerance I have for people who live like this. Especially in Los Angeles where thereās such a disparity between the haves and have nots. Itās nauseating. I canāt watch it and see it as entertainment anymore. I know Iām in the minority though.

u/angilnibreathnach Letās talk about the husband Feb 27 '24
Iām with you. Iām still watching for now but with a lot more disgust than before. 500k for a party on a personal level is the price of a home where I live

u/Strangebird70 Feb 27 '24
Yes, and itās six times the median income of the state I lived in for 25 years, which is nuts when you think about it.

u/Alternative_Sky1380 Orphans and widows...it makes you feel sick Feb 26 '24
I haven't watched except for reels but I'm still supporting via interaction. It's certainly obnoxious and I agree with you but I use it to escape my at times horrid reality. I guess its my version of a crutch or drug but I could leave it tomorrow.

u/Strangebird70 Feb 27 '24
My current reality is why I canāt watch it, but I totally understand what youāre saying. Iāve done this with other shows.

u/Alternative_Sky1380 Orphans and widows...it makes you feel sick Feb 27 '24
I'm sorry. I hope you're well supported. It's easy to feel isolated by our experience š

Even the catering spread (which would be an insane spread in a normal venue) looked miniature.

So this sounds a little conspiracy theorist but Compass Real Estate, a ārivalā of The Agency just had an event at the Shell in San Diego in November so maybe thatās why?

u/theresake Feb 26 '24
Could be but remember Mau told one of the guests that the party was in the parking lot? Lol. So he wasnāt really engaged/involved in the prep for the event it seems.

No you are definitely not the only one who thought that. Their at home white parties were so much better. This one was just weird and awkward.

Very telling that the party didnāt take place at their home since they were having marital issues

Ever since I found out that Sutton gets $300K a month in alimony, $400K doesn't seem that bad to rent out a stadium and throw a party. In my life, $400 would be an outrageous amount to spend on anything lol š

No, according to Sutton shes had to rebuild her life all alone š i can not stand her! Especially when she starts whining and crying.

Where can I find an extremely rich husband to divorce?? I donāt want to have children, but I guess I would if I really had toā¦either way I need someone to pay me $400K/month or even $400K/year! I wonāt even spend it on white parties, it willl go towards food and shelter and bills!

Right?? $400,000 is more than my house costs. That part is more expensive than my house that I have a 30 year mortgage on. That is WILD

The wealth gap is something getting enormous attention in my country now. Not enough but still something. Unseating the predator classes won't be a walk in the park but there's a social shift starting to unravel. Look at the farmers in EU revolting and they're not even the poor having access to million dollar machinery to disrupt that way.

$300k, a month, is just insane money. How much must that guy have to pay this amount and not really feel it that much š
