Wed Jan 22 01:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Real Housewives Star Jennifer Tilly Clarifies Her Wealth: “I Don’t Think of Myself as Rich”
**Beverly Hills, CA** – Jennifer Tilly, star of *The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills*, is setting the record straight about her financial status following a recent episode revealing her substantial divorce settlement from late *Simpsons* co-creator Sam Simon. While Tilly admits to owning multiple properties, including homes in Las Vegas, Malibu, and Bel Air, she insists her lifestyle is surprisingly modest.
In an exclusive interview with E! News, Tilly stated, “I don’t think of myself as rich.” She clarified that while she does benefit from residuals from *The Simpsons* and owns several properties, she and her boyfriend live simply in a smaller home, not the larger ones she owns. She dispelled rumors surrounding the cost of a luxury Louis Vuitton purse, stating it cost $22,000, not the reported $33,000.
Tilly expressed surprise at the public’s reaction to her wealth, noting that many seemed to view her possessions positively, rather than criticizing her spending habits. She reflected on the nature of reality TV, suggesting that viewers enjoy living vicariously through the wealthy cast members, even if those cast members aren’t always happy themselves.
“This is why people love Housewives,” she explained. “They’re so rich… but they’re still not happy. That is the key to Housewives.”
Tilly’s comments follow a *Real Housewives of Beverly Hills* episode where her financial situation became a topic of discussion. The show airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on Bravo. For more of E!’s exclusive interview with Jennifer Tilly, tune in to E! News tonight, January 14th, at 11 p.m.
