The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Teresa Giudice has led quite an impressive life at only 50 years old. The table-flipping diva of the Garden State has made a name for herself in the Bravo universe. Thanks to her name and brand being launched by the Bravo franchise, Teresa has launched business ventures and managed to overcome even the most difficult of times with her brand still intact.
Teresa has always brought drama to RHONJ since its inception in 2009. Whether she created the drama or it found her, Teresa has been the center of RHONJ. Bravo viewers saw the turning point in Teresa’s personality when she realized she could capitalize on RHONJ. After RHONJ season 2, her mood changed, and Teresa started to turn on those close to her. Throughout the years, her marriage had been called into question, finally ending in divorce after Joe Giudice spent time in jail and got deported.
Teresa Giudice's Age & Her Career On RHONJ
Teresa is now 50 years old and has made most of her money from starring on reality TV, as she has been on RHONJ since its inception and does not plan on leaving. Teresa was born on May 8, 1972, in Paterson, New Jersey, and attended Berkeley College, where she majored in Fashion Marketing (via Celebrity Net Worth). After college, Teresa worked as an Associate Buyer for Vogue Magazine and Macy’s. Teresa, who may leave RHONJ, has released four cookbooks: Skinny Italian, Fabulicious!, Fabulicious Fast & Fit, and Fabulicious! On the Grill. Teresa also came out with two memoirs: Turning The Tables and Standing Strong. She also had a jewelry line called TG Fabulicious, which sold everything from hairbows to hats. She has made appearances on multiple TV shows besides RHONJ, including Celebrity Apprentice in 2012, and ended up raising $70,000 for her charity, NephCure.
Teresa Giudice's Lifestyle
Teresa, as well as her four daughters, Gia, Gabriella, Milania Giudice, and Audriana Giudice, have always loved an ostentatious Italian lifestyle, which included everything from over-the-top vases in her home to whatever luxury car she chose to drive. While Teresa and her ex-husband Joe did find themselves in trouble with the government for not paying taxes, the housewife still somehow found a way to buy whatever she desired. With business ventures and reality TV to capitalize on, along with her marriage to Luis Ruelas, as of today, she probably can afford anything on her lavish wish list.
Teresa has been through a lot in her life, especially in the last few years. Not only did both her parents pass away, but she went to jail and had to see her ex-husband get deported to Italy. However, things are looking up for The Real Housewives of New Jersey star as she has gotten remarried and has a new family, thanks to Teresa's new husband, Luis. Even though she and her brother Joe Gorga and his wife, Melissa Gorga, are no longer close, Teresa has never been happier.
