Inside Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky’s $5 BILLION divorce with NO PRENUP: Estranged couple ‘have yet to consult lawyers’ as they navigate painful separation

• Kyle’s husband Mauricio has a net worth of $100m thanks to real estate 
• He’s sold almost $5 billion in luxury properties since founding The Agency 
• Under California law, Kyle would be entitled to half of their marital assets 
• The RHOBH star recently referred to their separation as ‘a divorce’  

Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky’s potential divorce battle could get messy as it’s been reported that the couple have no prenup in place.

The estranged pair, who still live under the same roof, do not have any ‘immediate’ plans to legally end their 27-year marriage – nor have they consulted any lawyers, according to TMZ.

Mauricio, 53, who is the owner of real estate firm The Agency, and has a joint estimated net worth of $100million with wife Kyle, who stars on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. 

However, Mauricio is the higher earner of the pair, having reportedly sold almost $5billion in luxury properties since founding The Agency back in 2011, after marrying Kyle in 1996. 

In most California divorce cases, a judge would typically order the higher-earning spouse to pay alimony to the lower-earning spouse, irrespective of their gender, which in this case  would undoubtedly be Mauricio.

Kyle, 54, is said to have been instrumental in Mauricio’s money-spinning real estate career, as he was originally working in fashion before he met his wife. 

He began working for Kyle’s brother-in-law, real estate mogul Rick Hilton, who helped Mauricio get his foot in the real estate door, per TMZ. 

Under California law, Kyle would be entitled to half of the marital assets and up to 40% of her spouse’s income for child support, spousal support, and other terms of a divorce settlement. 

While the pair may not be preparing to go to war just yet, Kyle recently referred to their split as a ‘divorce’ and not a ‘separation,’ while at BravoCon just days ago – sparking concern among fans. 

The latest: Kyle Richards and estranged husband Mauricio Umansky reportedly have no prenup, according to TMZ 

One day at a time: Three months after revealing they quietly separated, but were still living under the same roof, albeit in different rooms, the reality star, 54, recently spoke about how her strained marriage has affected her during her appearance at BravoCon

‘I’ve gone through a lot this last year that does change you. Losing my best friend to suicide changed me. Going through my divorce, all that has made me stronger but it definitely changes you as a person. I feel good,’ she said at BravoCon according to TooFab.

She was asked if there was a chance of reconciliation during BravoCon, and she said she’s taking it a ‘day at a time.’

‘I’m grateful that we get along so well and love each other very much and we’re putting our family first,’ Kyle said.

Adding: ‘We’re still living together under the same roof and I’m proud of the way that we are navigating through this. I just take it a day at a time.’

While speaking about watching the current season of RHOBH, she said it’s been ‘really hard’ seeing her ‘kids’ faces’ during ‘those conversations.’

‘I didn’t even see last week’s episode, I’m trying to watch it on my phone and was like, ugh, I’m getting stressed and then I forgot it was on,’ the mother-of-four added. ‘This is what happens after 13 years. I forgot to watch it and didn’t even remember to post about it. So maybe that’s a subconscious thing I’m doing. Its just gonna be hard to relive all that.’

Her remark comes after she admitted that she and Umansky were going through a rough patch on Wednesday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

‘I think he’s poured his heart and soul into The Agency,’ Kyle said in a confessional referencing Mauricio’s ever-expanding real estate firm. ‘So it’s the other woman.’

We are really good friends, we’ve been dancing together now for six weeks, four hours a day, every single day,’ he told his followers.

‘Guys, it’s intense,’ Emma, 34, added. ‘Like you really form a very, very special bond and I think we have similar personalities, so we’ve got a super supportive – last week was extremely emotional – so super supportive relationship, we definitely there for each other. It’s beautiful, that’s a great thing!’

Mauricio insisted the whole thing was overblown as he explained what had transpired: ‘We’re really good friends, and just to clarify we went to a restaurant to go get some sushi right after rehearsal, we were in our rehearsal clothes. Lots of the stories are wrong, lots of them.

‘Yes, it’s a very intense week, a very emotional week, we were talking about the week during dinner, and when we came out of dinner, we were recapping and I reached out to grab Emma’s hand and she grabbed my hand, and then we walked to the cars, you know just recapping and summarizing, and then the paparazzi caught that moment and it’s become a blown out moment,’ he continued.

‘And then all of the sudden we’re dating,’ Emma joked.

I don’t like to put people on the spot, but let me just call my daughter on the pod with the camera and on speaker. Let’s see if she answers,’ per Page Six.
