Jennifer Tilly is not hurting for money thanks to The Simpsons — but that doesn’t mean she identifies as wealthy.
“I don’t think of myself as rich,” Tilly, 66, told E! News on Tuesday, January 14. “But I guess I’m delusional because I do have several properties and a purse apparently that cost $33,000.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, who joined the show for season 14, noted that she thought “everybody knew that I had a piece of The Simpsons,” which is where a lot of her money comes from.
“It’s not a large piece, but even a little piece is something to write home about,” she added.

During the December 3, 2024, episode of RHOBH, Tilly noted that she was married to The Simpsons creator, Sam Simon, for seven years. The pair, who were together 10 years total, got divorced in 1991 and she “got a piece” of the show in her settlement.

During the same episode, costar Erika Jayne pointed out that Tilly owned an extremely rare $33,000 Louis Vuitton handbag, which she said wasn’t exactly accurate.

“Actually, it didn’t. It cost $33,000, which I’m just setting that straight right now,” Tilly told E! “They must have had some intern look it up. It’s very rare, maybe on the secondary market they jacked up the price, but I called my purse contact, and I said, ‘How much did I pay for that purse?’ She said, ‘$22,000.'”
While the handbag price was slightly off, Tilly revealed that she does own four homes: three in California and one in Las Vegas.
Even with all her properties, Tilly was adamant that she lives humbly with her boyfriend in a “very small, cluttered house.”

“Yes, there’s a giant house next door, but we don’t go there,” she said. “I guess we’re kind of delusional. I don’t have a giant mansion or a chauffeur that calls me Miss Tilly and makes out with me like Sutton [Stracke]‘s chauffeur. I just live my life the way that I used to live.”
Tilly added that she thinks it’s “kind of gauche to flaunt your wealth” especially since money can’t buy you happiness.
Leon Bennett/Getty Images“This is why people love Housewives,” she concluded. “They’re so rich and they can afford all the plastic surgeon that the heart could desire and designer clothes and jewels, but they’re still not happy. That is the key to Housewives. Like, ‘Wow, if I had all that wealth, I would be happy.’ But these people, they’re miserable. That’s why people like to watch Housewives.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
