The sleek cars, designer wardrobes, and jaw-dropping Hollywood mansions featured in Netflix's 'Selling Sunset' are more than just television glamour—they are the backdrop to a multi-billion shilling real estate hustle. For viewers in Kenya and across the globe, the show offers a peek into a world of immense wealth, but the agents themselves are accumulating fortunes that rival their high-profile clients.

This isn't just about commissions from multi-million dollar properties. The cast leverages their television fame, entrepreneurial side-hustles, and brand endorsements to build personal empires. While the high-stakes drama of Los Angeles real estate feels a world away, the lessons in branding and diversification resonate even here, where Nairobi's own luxury property market continues to boom.

The Oppenheim Empire

At the pinnacle of this wealth pyramid are the twin brothers who run the brokerage, Jason and Brett Oppenheim. Their firm, The Oppenheim Group, was founded by their great-great-grandfather in 1889, but the brothers have transformed it into a modern real estate powerhouse. Before dominating the LA property scene, both had careers as lawyers, representing high-profile corporate clients.

Their individual fortunes are a testament to their success, with both brothers commanding a staggering net worth. They are, by a huge margin, the wealthiest members of the cast.

Ranking the Agents' Fortunes

While the Oppenheim twins lead the pack, the agents who work for them are formidable earners in their own right. Their wealth is a blend of hefty real estate commissions, Netflix salaries, and personal business ventures. Here is a breakdown of the richest cast members as of 2025:

• Jason and Brett Oppenheim: Each brother is estimated to be worth $50 million (approx. KES 6.5 billion). Their wealth comes from the brokerage, personal property investments, and a vast portfolio of luxury listings.
• Chrishell Stause: With an estimated net worth of $6 million (approx. KES 780 million), Chrishell is one of the top-earning agents. Her fortune is bolstered by a previous acting career on shows like 'Days of Our Lives', book sales, and significant income from social media partnerships.
• Bre Tiesi: Also valued at around $6 million (approx. KES 780 million), Bre has leveraged her background as a model and her real estate acumen to build substantial wealth. She joined the brokerage after a stint at another high-profile agency, Keller Williams Beverly Hills.
• Emma Hernan: The entrepreneur-realtor is worth an estimated $4 million (approx. KES 520 million). A significant portion of her income derives from her successful plant-based frozen food company, Emma Leigh & Co., which she started before joining the show.
• Heather Rae El Moussa: The former Playboy model and actress has an estimated net worth of $3 million (approx. KES 390 million). Her wealth is a combination of real estate sales and her work on other property-focused TV shows with her husband, Tarek El Moussa.
• Chelsea Lazkani: The British-Nigerian agent's net worth is estimated to be between $500,000 and $3 million (approx. KES 65 million to 390 million). Before real estate, she worked as a business strategist in the oil and gas industry.
• Amanza Smith: A longtime agent and interior designer, Amanza's net worth is estimated at $1 million (approx. KES 130 million). Her income is supplemented by her design and home staging business.

As the show's popularity endures, these figures are likely to climb. The cast of 'Selling Sunset' has masterfully turned reality television exposure into a lucrative feedback loop, where fame drives sales, and sales, in turn, build even greater fame and fortune.
