Richards began acting in 1974 when she appeared eighteen episodes of the television show Little House on the Prairie. Throughout the 70s Richards appeared on various television series. She guest starred and acted in a few horror films including: The Car, Eaten Alive, and Halloween. In her role in the hit horror film Halloween she played Lindsey Wallace one of the two children that Laurie Strode babysits. In 1980, she appeared in another horror film produced by Disney. Alongside Bette Davis and Lynn-Holly Johnson, they featured in The Watcher in the Woods – a film that wasn’t met with much fan fare. Richards’ early acting career is a compilation of made-for-television, direct to TV, and other minor video work.
In the 90s, Richards’ career would begin to grow where she would be able to accumulate some net worth. She would eventually appear in 21 episodes of the television show ER from 1998 – 2006. She is most well-known for her presence on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, which first aired in October 2010. She currently appears on the show with her sister Kim.
Outside of her acting and reality television contract, Kyle has partnered with fashion retailer Alene Too to launch the innovative boutique concept Kyle by Alene Too in 2012. The store features new fashions, trends, and accessories by the world’s top exclusive designers.
Richards is married to Mauricio Umansky. The couple reside in Beverly Hills, California and have two daughters. They own a million dollar estate that is certainly factored into her net worth. There is no disclosure as to how much Umansky is worth so the family’s net worth is currently unknown.
Kyle’s net worth is a collection of television appearances, entrepreneurial activity, and her contract on Real Housewives in which she gets paid close to $300,000 per season. Believe it or not, Richards has appeared in over 30 films in a span of 40 years. None of her roles were large, but a surprisingly large quantity of movies. Richards will continue to make money through Real Housewives, not only television, but appearances as well. She’s done well enough for herself in terms of popularity that she will continue to be a public figure, which will allow her to maintain her net worth and potentially grow it. Her ace in the hole is her growing fashion boutique stores. They may allow Richards to grow as a business woman, which ultimately will grow her net worth. As we’ve seen in the past, Real Housewives stints don’t last forever so Richards seems prepared for life after the show by making some moves in the business world.
