Bethenny Frankel — Skinnygirl Mogul

Frankel was a struggling natural foods chef when she joined Real Housewives of New York in 2008. She used the platform to launch Skinnygirl Cocktails — a low-calorie margarita that she sold to Beam Suntory for an estimated $100 million in 2011. That's the single largest personal payout from a reality TV platform ever. She then expanded into books, shapewear, and supplements. Now she's pivoted into being the loudest anti-influencer voice on TikTok, getting 2M+ views per video exposing celebrity product scams. The woman monetizes everything, including her opinions.
