Bethenny Frankel: A Brief Biography
Born on November 4, 1970, in New York City, Bethenny Frankel is widely recognized as a television personality, author, and businesswoman. She is acclaimed as the author of self-help books, the host of the talk show “Bethenny”, and a star of the reality television series ‘The Real Housewives of New York City’ and documentary series ‘Bethenny Ever After’.
As of mid-2017, Bethenny Frankel’s net worth is estimated to be $30 million, which she accumulated over her diverse career spanning almost 25 years in the entertainment industry.
Frankel, the only child of Bernadette Birk and Robert J., is uniquely of Jewish (father) and Welsh (mother) descent. After her parents’ divorce when she was four, she was raised by her mother and stepfather, John Parisella, a horse-trainer. Frankel attended several schools before attending Pine Crest School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where she lived on campus. She also pursued studies at the Natural Gourmet Institute in New York City and New York University.
Frankel began her career as a production assistant, gradually making her mark with minor roles in films like “Wish Me Luck,” “Hollywood Hills 90028”, and “Soiree Sans Hors D’oeuvres”. Her big break came when she appeared in the reality game show ‘The Apprentice: Martha Stewart’ in 2005, where she finished as a runner-up. Subsequently, she gained prominence through her involvement in the television series ‘The Real Housewives of New York City.’ She also appeared on talk programs, including ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ and ‘Z Rock’. Moreover, she participated in ‘Skating with the Stars’ in 2010, and fronted the documentary series ‘Bethenny Ever After’ for three seasons.
