Sonja Morgan's Real Housewives of New York days may have come to a close in season 13, but it won't be the last you'll see of the RHONY star. This weekend, she's returning to Bravo with her former co-star Luann de Lesseps in the new series Luann and Sonja: Welcome To Crappie Lake.
If this sounds like some kind of low budget horror movie to you, that's because it does have the makings to be one. Luann and Sonja will be switching out their Manhattan lifestyles for small town charm, and relocating to Benton, Illinois for the upcoming show.
The show will follow along as the women work to "revitalize" the town after the pandemic. According to the Bravo description, Benton only has 7,000 residents, and will feature Luann and Sonja as they experience a true "fish-out-of-water" scenario.
Sonja will certainly be out of her element in this new show, but her life hasn't been completely smooth sailing in New York, either. Over the last decade, Sonja's made some serious green from RHONY, but she's had a few financial troubles, too.
In 2010, she filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and listed that she was almost $20 million in debt, per E! News. Five years later, the publication reported that she settled her bankruptcy case. During an episode of Bravo's Watch What Happens Live in March 2019, Sonja opened up about the past experience, explaining that she was "out of my Chapter 11 reorganization, which means I paid 100 percent on the dollar."
So... with all that behind her, what is Sonja Morgan's net worth now?
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Sonja is currently worth $8 million. Here's how the Real Housewife made her money over the years:
For starters, Sonja has prime NYC real estate.
She currently resides in a Columbus Circle apartment after moving out of her legendary townhouse in 2018. "I found a great apartment, it’s so my style, I have a fireplace and a little balcony," Sonja told Andy during a RHONY reunion show, per Bravo. "It’s not too high rise, ’cause I don’t like high rises, I’m only on the 12th floor."
In July 2022, she put her Upper East Side townhouse on the market for $8.75 million, per PEOPLE. It has now been on the market for nearly a year, and, according to the New York Post, has been difficult to sell. It's currently listed for $7.5 million.
She has her own clothing brand, too.

Sonja also owns Sonja by Sonja Morgan, launched in 2014, which sells everything from dresses to sunglasses to swimsuits. In 2019, Sonja signed a deal to sell the line at Century 21 stores, but the deal dissolved after she declared bankruptcy, and the discount chain itself shuttered. The line was later picked up by Walmart in 2021, per Page Six.
It's also unclear exactly how much Sonja made off the Walmart deal, but the brand's prices are a bit higher than Walmart's typical price range—so she probably made a decent income.
She’s commanding a premium on Cameo and OnlyFans.
Want to connect with Sonja personally? It’s going to cost you. The Caburlesque star charges an impressive $99 to film a personalized video on Cameo. What you’ll get: a response within three days, and the possibility of a 24-hour turnaround (that’ll cost you more, though). Sonja has lots of amazing reviews on Cameo, with an impressive overall rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars.
Head on over to OnlyFans, and Sonja has an account there, too. For $4.99 a month, you can join her private account and see exclusive photos, videos, and blog posts. It’s hard to tell for sure, given that you can’t really see anything unless you pony up the cash, but it looks like Sonja’s pretty active on her OnlyFans account.
It’s unclear exactly how much cash she’s making from these services, but Sonja seems to be busy enough. She regularly promotes her Cameo and OnlyFans in her Instagram Stories, so it must be at least a little lucrative for her.
She obvs does some brand deals.
As a reality television star, you can bet Sonja Morgan has deals on deals. If you peruse through her Instagram, you'll find posts for Dunkin' Donuts, Hamptons restaurants, and hotels.
It's not clear how much, if any, Sonja makes off these kinds of posts, but celebrities can scrounge up quite a bit of money from Instagram. Someone with Sonja's number of followers can make anywhere between $5000 to $15,000 per sponsored post, according to GO Banking Rates.
And, of course, she made a lot on RHONY.
In 2014, Sonja's salary for season six of Real Housewives of New York was reportedly $426,500, according to Business Insider. It's more than likely that her paycheck has only gone up since then. And I'm betting she asked for even more to relocate to Benton for Welcome to Crappie Lake.
Catch up on all things going on with Sonja Morgan in Luann and Sonja: Welcome To Crappie Lake, which premieres on Sunday, July 9, 2023 at 9 p.m. ET.
