How did Melissa Gorga Make Her Money & Wealth?

Born on March 21, 1979 in Montville, New Jersey, Melissa Gorga (Birth Name: Melissa Ann Marco) was raised in the township of Toms River in Ocean County. After graduating from high school, she went to New Jersey City University where she studied, and eventually obtained a bachelor’s of arts in education.

To support herself, she worked as a tanning consultant on the side during her college days; she was described as an excellent worker by her former boss. A “bubbly Italian girl”, she shared a condo with a few girlfriends on 31st Street. At the time, it was her dream to one day become a teacher and a singer.

Not long after graduating from university, Melissa married her husband, Giuseppe Gorga in 2003; she was twenty four years old at the time. From there, they eventually welcomed three children into the family- two daughters named Gino and Antonia and a son named Joey. Busy at home as a mother, she ultimately did not find the opportunity to pursue a teaching career, despite her initial aspirations.

In 2011, the New Jersey native received a big break after being cast in the popular reality series, The Real Housewives of New Jersey after successfully passing the auditions. The fourth instalment of the franchise, it followed the lives of several local women including Teresa Giudice, Dina Manzo, Caroline Manzo, Danielle Staub, Jacqueline Laurita and of course, Melissa.

Originally premiered on May 12, 2009, Melissa originally appeared as a guest star in the second season prior to being promoted to a regular in the third season. Since then, she has remained on the show for six years, from season three to season 7. As of 2017, the brunette is one of the main housewives alongside Jacqueline Laurita, Dolores Catania, and Siggy Flicker.

Ultimately, it was The Real Housewives of New Jersey that garnered her widespread attention in the United States. Incredibly popular, it regularly attracts millions of viewers during its broadcast on television. Just this April, the show was renewed for an eighth season by the network- of course, Melissa will be resuming her role in the upcoming season. Will her salary be increased or decreased in the new year? Only time can tell.

Now for the big questions that we’re all curious about- how much does Melissa get paid for being on the show? According to various online sources, the reality star earns upwards of $600,000 per season- seeing as how she’s been on the show for many years now, it seems natural that she would have amassed a healthy amount by now. But in 2012, it was revealed that both her and her husband were actually heavily in debt.

In the fall of 2015, Melissa also appeared for a few episodes in the Bravo spin-off show.

In addition to her career as a reality star, Melissa also made her debut as a recording artist in 2011. For the next few years, she has come out with a number of singles. In 2016 however, she announced that she would not be carrying on with her career in music, much to the surprise of fans; however she has not dismissed the possibility of one day making a comeback.

As an entrepreneur, the New Jersey native has set up a number of business endeavours. For instance in 2014, she launched her own line of jewelry which was made available through HSN. From there, she opened her own clothing boutique in the Montclair area called Envy; the eatery was built by none other than her husband. Although the shop was closed in 2017, it has since been re-opened.

Recently this May, she took on a new endeavor- they opened up a restaurant in the city of East Hanover, New Jersey.

In September of 2013, she authored her first book, Secrets of My Hot and Happy Marriage: Love, Italian Style. Unfortunately, reviews from fans have been overwhelmingly negative.
