Kyle Richards is one of Hollywood’s most enduring multi-hyphenates — child actress, scream queen, reality television anchor, and businesswoman — whose career spans more than five decades. Born on January 11, 1969, in Hollywood, California, she is the youngest of the three Hilton-Richards sisters: Kathy Hilton, Kim Richards, and herself. From childhood, Richards was embedded in show business, making her acting debut at age four.
As a child actress, Richards is perhaps best remembered for her chilling performance as Lindsey Wallace in John Carpenter’s original Halloween (1978), one of the most celebrated horror films ever made. She also appeared in The Watcher in the Woods (1980) and had a beloved recurring role as Alicia Edwards in the TV series Little House on the Prairie. She returned to the Halloween franchise as an adult in Halloween Kills (2021) and Halloween Ends (2022), reuniting with the franchise that helped launch her career.
Richards became a global household name when she joined the inaugural cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in 2010. As the sole remaining original cast member still on the show, she has been the gravitational center of the series for more than a decade, navigating family drama, friendship feuds, and intensely public personal challenges — including a highly publicized separation from her husband Mauricio Umansky in 2023 after 27 years of marriage. The couple’s separation played out across Season 13, drawing record viewership.
Her business ventures have included boutiques (By Alene Too and Kyle x Shahida), clothing lines, and extensive social media partnerships. She is also a published author, releasing the memoir “Life Is Not a Reality Show” in 2011. She earned a reported $270,000 per season from RHOBH and has participated in numerous brand deals.
The bulk of Kyle Richards’ estimated $100 million net worth — shared with Mauricio Umansky — stems from Umansky’s luxury real estate brokerage, The Agency, which has facilitated over $5 billion in property sales and generated enormous wealth. Under California community property law, a significant portion of this wealth belongs equally to Richards. She has four daughters: Farrah, Alexia, Sophia, and Portia. She lives in the Los Angeles area and remains one of Bravo’s most bankable stars.
