Patti Stanger Net Worth $4.5 Million
So how rich is a person who finds perfect matches for millionaires? Sources estimate that currently Patti Stanger’s net worth adds up to $4.5 million. Most of it, as well as her popularity, is a result of her continuous work in the reality series “Millionaire Matchmaker”.
Patti Stanger spent most of her childhood in Short Hills, New Jersey. She was raised by Rhoda and Ira – her foster parents. Interestingly enough, her foster mother was also a matchmaker. In 1983 she graduated from the University of Miami with a bachelor’s degree of Fine Arts, after which she moved to Los Angeles and is living there to this day. At the beginning of her career, Patti worked for a company called Great Expectations as the marketing director. Then, for almost ten years, she was mostly involved with the fashion industry – she worked with Unionbay Sportswear, Saks Fifth Avenue and JouJou Jeans. These jobs gave Patti a solid start to her net worth.
In 2000, Patti decided to create a club where rich people could find their perfect spouse in an easy manner. Her club was a success, and in 2008 she received an offer from Bravo TV Network: they made a deal and Patti became the star of “Millionaire Matchmaker”. In this show, the viewers have an opportunity to see the “Millionaire’s Club International Inc.” from inside – during each episode, viewers see in great detail how Patti tries to find a perfect match for two millionaires. Of course the program has added considerably to Patti’s net worth.
In 2009, Patti Stanger was offered a four-week deal to host a radio show for XM Satellite Radio entitled “P.S. I Love You”. The show has been an incredible success and has become a permanent fixture on Mix Channel 22 and The Pink Channel. Again, Patti’s net worth benefited considerably.
Also in 2009, Patti Stanger released her first book on dating entitled “Become Your Own Matchmaker: 8 Easy Steps for Attracting Your Perfect Mate”. Since then she has released more books, a lot of which became bestsellers and have undoubtedly added to her net worth.
As to Patti Stanger’s personal life, she is a fairly open person, and has been known to share quite intimate details – in 2003 she started dating Andy Friedman, a real estate executive, who eventually proposed to her in 2009 (she spoke about the details of wedding planning to the media during that time). However, the couple broke up in 2010, Patti explained that she wanted to have children. In 2012, Patti began dating baseball player and mortgage broker, David Krause: the two of them have announced their engagement but the wedding date has not been released yet. There has been some controversy regarding her possibly negative attitude towards homosexuals, when in 2011 she maded some ambiguous remarks during a live TV show “Watch What Happens Live”. However, Patti very quickly reacted to the angry comments by apologising to anyone who she may have offended.
