Kyle Richards And Mauricio Umansky Purchase Lavish Palm Springs Home

July 3, 2014 by tamaratattles 66 Comments

Kyle and Mauricio's gorgeous new Palm Springs home. Pocket doors open the home to the large patio.
Kyle and Mauricio’s gorgeous new Palm Springs home. Pocket doors open the home to the large patio.

Unlike their New Jersey counterparts, RHOBH’s couple Kyle and Mauricio seem to be doing just fine financially. The two recently purchase a stunning vacation property in Palm Springs  for $2.35 million. The couple put a cool million down and financed the remainder. As an added perk, Mauricio earned a $58,750 commission for acting as his own buying agent!

The property is adjacent to the upscale La Quinta Resort & Club backing up the fairway of the meticulously groom golf course and has wide vistas of the mountains as a back drop. The backyard features an outdoor kitchen, a small guest house, and a swimming pool with a waterfall.

The nearly 6,000 square foot interior  has six bedrooms and seven baths, and a full gym. The home often features an elaborate entertainment system throughout the house including 10 TVs with 28 speakers and six control panels.

I guess we now know where at least one of the girls’ getaways will happen this year. It sounds like a perfect backdrop for Brandi’s drunken skinny dipping.

It’s nice to know that some of the real housewives are indeed housewives, and very rich, bitch.

    looks absoultely gorgeous, i agree there is no way they will not film there and i wouldnt mind seeing it. one of the reasons rhobh is actually my fav is because out of all the franchises (maybe excluding RHONY) they have REAL money and a lot of it, unlike others where their lifestyle depends on their bravo checks.

      With the exception of Brandi and Kim the rest all really do seem to have a lot of money! Just like Sonja from New York. That’s why I like those casts the best, they really are well off and not just pretending.

        Sonja..? she looks broke as hell to me, grasping onto the delusion of still having access to her ex husbands bank account.

        Didn’t her house in France get auctioned some weeks ago by the bank? not to mention she is living in a NYC house she can’t afford to maintain and looks like it smells bad. I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that she is millions in debt..

        Yes, that all glass vestibule they added is ridiculous. Makes it look like a storefront, not a home. And that thing is only going to look good 5 minutes after it’s been washed – inside and out. I imagine it kills lots of birds too. Poor, privileged Rocio!

      Kyle’s house looks so much bigger on the inside than from the out. I think the outside (front) shots we’ve seen make it look dumpy and small, imho. I hate her bathroom though.

      I love Lisa’s house, boxiness and all. Not totally a fan of the front door but it’s not my house 🙂

        I liked Adrienne’s old house too. Did that burn down or get torn down? It was one of the two as I remember after her and Paul sold it.

        Kyle’s new house looks very nice. It must be great to have that kind of money. I like Lisa’s house too, but it is very formal. It may have more relaxed areas that they just don’t show on TV. I can’t imagine sitting around on white furniture and with windows from floor to ceiling and being comfortable. Don’t these people ever just have a day were they don’t do the makeup and dressing up and just relax at home?

        Eh, I don’t think it was that a big deal to display the wedding dress. It was in her dressing room, the only one who would see it on any regular basis would be her or her husband unless she invited someone in to see it. If I had as much money as she did, I would be tempted to do something similar. My friend has old clothing framed like that and is hanging in her living room, but they are Chinese kimonos and she has a lot of Chinese art and bowls from the Ming dynasty and such so it all goes together. She spent years studying in China so it has deep personal meaning for her. The wedding dress just seems to fit in the dressing room. Your dressing room is a very personal place, her wedding dress (at the time) had great personal meaning to Adrienne. It’s not like she hung it in the family room where people sit and watch TV and drink beer.

        Tamara, I agree that Adrienne’s house was horrible. It’s like some people who are rich just buy shit because they are rich and decorate their lives as expensively as possible, without once considering that less can look nicer and more expensive. So they buy ugly purses and ugly shoes and ugly frames for mirrors and photos when more simple stuff would look better everywhere.

      I think the Palm Springs house was their mother’s and willed to them equally. Supposedly Kim borrowed 25,000 cash from Kyle then Kyle took over ownership of the house. I imagine Kim was under the influence when telling this. I suspect Umansky’s have had to pay the taxes and upkeep on it by themselves.

    I admit I am one of Kyle biggest haters, can’t stand people that instigate and enjoy being at the center of drama that doesn’t involve them and I also have a hard time tolerating double digit IQs.

    BUT Kyle is legit rich. Her husband lists houses in the tens of millions, he even listed a ~100 million home (I remember reading about it on TMZ, could have been the Spelling house or a house Ellen bought, my memory sucks).

    I was always surprised at how “humble” they lived, and how Kyle restrained herself from showing off her actual wealth while constantly using the I don’t have what you have argument with Lisa and co.

    As I said I very strongly dislike Kyle, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she is sitting on more actual money in the bank than Lisa.

    I mean, am I the only one who watched this woman expose her sister’s darkest secrets in the back of a limo to millions of people, while humiliating her with high school jabs? or ask Brandi how she really feels about Adrienne at that dinner, knowing full damn well what Brandi would then blurt out and the trouble she’d get into? Damn I hate this woman.

      It took me a while to see what Kyle really is because she is very good at it. I think also that Mauricio’s real estate success has taken off pretty simultaneously with the housewives franchise. I think it was very good publicity for him. He only opened his own firm the last year or 2 and that has done very well. So yes while I agree Kyle and Mauricio are doing very well, it is mostly of recent years therefore they aren’t sitting on years and years of success.

    I know its off topic but I thought Kim’s Mom bought the house from Kims earnings as a child star. Anyway $25,000 is cheap for a third of any home in Palm Springs. Me thinks Kyle was a little shady on that deal. That said I hope Kyles annual White Party is held there. I do enjoy those as it is very elegant and chic. Maybe some former housewives will be invited. Adrienne has a bone to pick with Brandi over spilling secrets. Which IMO wasn’t Brandis place but did so to secure a spot.

    Big Kathy taught her daughters well some would say in certain circles. Give the appearance of merit-based “middle-class values” only to teach your daughters the importance of worshiping the power of money, beauty, sex & a rich’s ego. Then send your children to college on the fruits of your sexual labors. American Made! Too bad Kim allowed her weakness for the liquor to sidetrack her dreams.

    Wow! Just read the book – Big Kathy was a psychopath! I feel sorry for her daughters who were raised by this mad lady, how do you escape such twisted behavior? You don’t, and this helps to explain her daughters’ subsequent problems, like Kim’s drinking, etc. This made me really dislike little Kathy (Kathy Hilton), I had no idea she treated others the way that she reportedly does/has. There is no way that these girls would not be affected by their mother’s outrageous and completely sick, sick, sick behavior. It’s a sin – their mother took sweet, innocent and beautiful little girls and turned each of them into a sick puppy. You cannot escape such pathology! Kyle is not mentioned so much in the book, she seems to be the healthiest of the bunch. I would hope that the Richard girls realize they were not raised by a healthy mother, and would get the proper professional help because you cannot be unfazed by this kind of mother.
