Skinnygirl's $100 Million Success Story
Frankel tried her hand at starting a food business in 2003, launching Bethenny Bakes, offering baked goods and a meal delivery service with limited success. However, what really made Frankel her fortune was Skinnygirl Cocktails, which, when launched in 2008, initially sold a pre-packaged low-calorie margarita. By 2011, according to research firm Technomic, it was the fastest-growing spirit brand in the country. Soon after Frankel sold the company to Fortune Brands' Beam Global, which is now a part of Suntory, for an estimated $100 million, keeping the rights to the name.
The Bethenny Clause
However, Frankel's savvy business move was to insist Bravo had no financial rights to anything she made outside of the show. Frankel explained on Instagram that she accepted just $7,250 for the first season of "RHONY."
