Frank Catania’s career explored
Many Real Housewives of New Jersey fans will recognise Frank Catania for being one of the show’s husbands. Frank and his ex-wife Dolores Catania have a friendship many years after their divorce and he’s still very much a part of the New Jersey group.
Despite being recognised as a ‘Real Husband’ nowadays, Frank Catania has had a whole career outside of reality TV in his life.
He and Dolores can be seen flipping houses together on the show. And as per a 2018 report from Page Six, Frank was a lawyer who “mainly focused on real estate deals” but he was disbarred in 2017.
Speaking on The Two T’s In a Pod podcast in April 2022, Dolores Catania said that she decided to join RHONJ at a time when she “had a lot more to offer” than when she was first asked to join the show in season 1. Dolores said: “Frank had lost a lot of money in a bad investment and I was working like three or four jobs.“

Does Frank Catania get paid to be on RHONJ?
As per Distractify and The Sun, Dolores Catania’s net worth is estimated at $4M.
However, that doesn’t mean that Frank Catania’s is in that region as RHOBH star Kyle Richards said that the show’s husbands don’t get paid as per Reality Blurb in 2018.
In 2021, The Blast reported that only the husbands from RHONJ get paid, so that means Frank makes money from the show.
His co-star and fellow house husband, Joe Gorga, reportedly makes “$45,000 a season for his work on the reality TV series while his wife, Melissa, allegedly makes upward of $600,000 a season” as per Distractify in 2021.
Distractify reports that his ex-wife, and full-time cast member, Dolores, makes $60,000 an episode for starring on RHONJ and she’s appeared in over 100 episodes since joining the show in season 7.
