Love them or hate them, the Real Housewives are a pop-culture staple.

We get to follow a group of women in a metropolitan city and see how they live, how their everyday struggles compare to our own lives, just with, you know, cameras and scripted, high-stakes drama. But if you follow the franchise as much as I have, you’ll know that some women have gone to jail, filed for bankruptcy, gotten divorced and, in the end, the housewives are real people just like us. Right?

However, those real-ass housewives have evolved and capitalized on their fame, with many going on to become entrepreneurs in their own right by taking products to the market from hair and eyelash extensions to a dog care line. No shade on the hustle either, as some of the ladies have done an excellent job bringing their financial endeavors to life. Of course, one common theme throughout the history of the show is the near-constant celebration of adult beverages. Whether it’s rosé all day, or a finely-crafted cocktail, a majority of the ladies like to hit the bottle hard.
