Due to all of Teresa Giudice's debt and her criminal conviction, she is not worth as much as some of her costars.

Giudice, who has been on RHONJ since Season 1 aired in 2009, has made a majority of her money through the show, however, the star lost everything at one point.

In 2009, the reality TV personality and her then-husband, Joe Giudice, filed for bankruptcy, citing $11 million in debt. Following their financial woes, in 2013, the couple was indicted on 39 counts of conspiracy to commit mail fraud, bank fraud, wire fraud, bankruptcy fraud and making false statements on loan applications.

The now-divorced duo was also ordered to pay $414,000 in restitution.

The brunette beauty served her time at the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut, for a year. She served the remainder of her sentence under house arrest.
