Bethenny Frankel Tops Forbes' Highest Paid TV Actresses List

Former Real Housewives of New York star Bethenny Frankel hasn’t slowed down one bit since leaving the show. In fact, her post-RHONY activities have landed her on Forbes’ list of TV’s highest-paid actresses!

Thanks to her book Skinnydipping, her reality show Bethenny Ever After – which reportedly earns about one million viewers a week – and her new talk show Bethenny, Bethenny’s made an estimated $12 million in the past year. Oh, and let’s not forget her SkinnyGirl empire!

Bethenny, of course, qualifies as a TV actress thanks to her past work on Hollywood Hills 90028 and other TV films, but she’s also a graduate of the National Gourmet Culinary Institute. One thing’s for sure, she makes entrepreneurship look great!
