Kyle Richards, Mauricio Umansky Sell Bel Air Home to ‘Money Queen’ Amanda Frances

Sometimes the cobbler needs new shoes and sometimes one of the country’s most successful real estate brokers has trouble off-loading his own home, even if it’s one of the most recognizable houses in reality TV history.

After almost three and a half years on and off the market at a variety of prices that fluctuated between $5.65 million and $6.995 million, Platinum Triangle real estate powerhouse Mauricio Umansky, co-founder and co-owner of The Agency, and “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” OG star Kyle Richards have finally sold their former home in L.A.’s Bel Air neighborhood. The $6.1 million sale price is a good chunk under its final asking price of $6.495 million but, more importantly, it’s exactly twice the $3.05 million the couple paid eleven years ago.

The new owner, we have it on unimpeachable authority, is money manifesting guru Amanda Frances, a 30-something year old entrepreneur and tireless go-getter who promotes herself as a “Self-made multimillionaire. Thought Leader. Best Selling author. Repetitive unrealistic goal achiever. Podcaster. Money Queen.” She also describes herself on other online platforms as a “business mentor,” “spiritual boss lady,” and “world-renowned thought leader on financial empowerment for women” who promotes her ideas and advice (and earns heaps of money) via fee-based online self-empowerment courses (i.e. “Decoding Fame” and “Turning Shit into Gold”), pricey private life coaching sessions, a book called “Rich as F*ck”, a podcast called “And She Rises,” and all sorts of free content across her various social media channels.

Celebrity real estate watchers and Housewives fans know well the saga of Kyle and Mauricio’s Bel Air home, which they leased out in past years, most recently, last year, to fellow “RHOBH” cast member Sutton Stracke, at about $25,000 per month, while she renovated a home she’d recently purchased.

The property was listed with Umansky and Richards’ daughters, Alexia Umansky and Farrah Brittany of The Agency, while Frances was represented in the deal by Steve Frankel of Coldwell Banker Realty.

A mix of homey and glamorous, the elegantly gussied up circa 1972 traditional was decorated for Umansky and Richards by family friend Faye Resnick, who frequently pops up as a party guest on “RHOBH.”

The foyer showcases a 20-foot ceiling and classy black granite and white marble checkerboard floor, the formal living room is warmed by a fireplace and lit by an antique chandelier, and the formal dining room is a casual space with a couple of skylights and an interestingly angled white-brick fireplace.

All white, with thick slab marble counters, the kitchen flows into a cozy breakfast room warmed by a raised-hearth vintage brick fireplace.

The fully paneled pub room has a professional wet bar and backyard access, and the professional screening room is wrapped in lustrous smooth paneling.

Listings show the 6,200-square-foot house has seven bedrooms and 8.5 bathrooms, but it is actually configured with five principal bedrooms, plus a staff room nipped discretely behind the kitchen. A potential seventh bedroom was converted to a dressing room for Richards.

Bedrooms are sprinkled throughout the house, both upstairs and on the main floor, for maximum flexibility and privacy, while the sprawling primary suite occupies a wing of its own on the upper level.

A fireplace anchors the sitting area of the spacious master bedroom, and there are two spacious walk-in closets plus a huge marble bathroom bedazzled with a showy antique chandelier. The dressing room/potential seventh bedroom is nearby, as is a small study/office.

The almost half-acre property allows for a wide front lawn hemmed int by a white picket fence as well as a sprawling backyard that packs in multiple areas for gathering and dining, a grassy lawn, a putting green, a multi-purpose sports court, and, of course, a swimming pool and spa.

Richards and Umansky moved several years ago to a much more grand estate in Encino that they picked up in 2017 for $8.253 million — they also have a desert getaway out in La Quinta, Calif., while Frances is moving from West Hollywood, where in the fall of 2019 she paid $3.35 million for a contemporary villa she had worked over in a distinctively glamorous fashion by Brianna Bitton of Bitton Design Group (same folks who several years ago did up a house in the Hollywood Hills for Halsey), and sold last fall for $3.825 million.
