In a stunning twist in the ongoing saga of Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky’s separation, a new report suggests that a significant portion of Mauricio’s rumored $57 billion real estate fortune could be awarded to Kyle. The potential division of assets has sparked intrigue, with insiders hinting at a “secret loophole” that might tilt the scales in Kyle’s favor as the couple navigates their complex divorce proceedings.
A High-Stakes Split
Kyle Richards, a longtime star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and Mauricio Umansky, a prominent real estate mogul and founder of The Agency, announced their separation in July 2023 after 27 years of marriage. The couple, who share three daughters—Alexia, Sophia, and Portia—along with Kyle’s daughter Farrah from a previous marriage, have been under intense scrutiny as fans and media speculate about the financial fallout of their split.
According to a report from In Touch Weekly, Mauricio’s real estate empire, built through decades of high-profile deals and strategic expansion, is valued at an astonishing $57 billion. While the exact figure remains unconfirmed, the sheer scale of the fortune underscores the complexity of dividing their assets, especially given the absence of a prenuptial agreement—or so it seems.
The Secret Loophole
An insider close to the couple revealed that a little-known legal nuance could play a pivotal role in the division of assets. “There’s a secret loophole that could hand Kyle a massive chunk of Mauricio’s wealth,” the source claimed, pointing to California’s community property laws. In the Golden State, assets acquired during a marriage are typically split 50/50 in a divorce, unless a prenup dictates otherwise.
However, the insider suggested that the absence of a clear prenuptial agreement—or potential ambiguities in any existing documentation—could amplify Kyle’s claim. “If there’s no ironclad prenup, or if it’s contested, Kyle could walk away with half of everything Mauricio built during their marriage,” the source explained. This includes not only liquid assets but also stakes in The Agency, real estate holdings, and other investments tied to Mauricio’s business ventures.
A Complex Division
Dividing a $57 billion empire is no simple task. Mauricio’s wealth is reportedly tied up in a web of real estate properties, business interests, and international deals, making the process a logistical nightmare. “It’s not just about cash in the bank,” the insider noted. “You’ve got properties, equity in The Agency, and partnerships that span the globe. Untangling it all could take years.”
Kyle, meanwhile, has her own income streams, including her role on RHOBH, brand partnerships, and her clothing line. However, these pale in comparison to Mauricio’s sprawling portfolio. The insider hinted that Kyle’s legal team might argue for a larger share, citing her contributions to the family and Mauricio’s career, including her role in promoting The Agency through reality TV exposure.
What’s Next?
As of June 3, 2025, neither Kyle nor Mauricio has publicly commented on the specifics of their divorce settlement. The couple has maintained a united front for the sake of their children, with Kyle recently stating on RHOBH that they remain “amicable” despite the challenges. However, with billions potentially at stake, tensions could rise as the legal process unfolds.
Fans are left wondering: Will Kyle secure a massive payout through this rumored loophole, or will Mauricio’s team find a way to protect his empire? Only time—and likely a series of high-stakes court battles—will tell.
