LuAnn's wedding pics are up online

There have been several articles over the years re: what they're holding, and LuAnn usually comes in dead last, so yes, I agree that she needs the paycheck, and none of her business ideas, i.e., the singing, writing and clothing, have been hits.

I think Ramona and Bethenny are usually the ones with the deepest pockets, although Dorinda and Carolyn might be able to give them some competition these days. But none of them were raised with wealth, they married it or earned it themselves.

Plus, LuAnn's friends outside the show don't exactly come off as old money/real socialites. I think of all the cast members throughout the franchise as C-List celebrities but wealth with a capital W? Not many really are, and I can't think of anyone who was born into wealth who is on any of them. In fact old money would probably think all the cast members, even the few that have acquired real wealth, are NOKD -- "Not our kind, dear." But it would probably be boring to sit and watch well-mannered people interact each week.

And the New Jersey group are real knuckle draggers.
