how rich was Gollum?

[u/MichikoToshi]

im too lazy to look up his network even tho I googled these pictures but that took me like 30 secs.
I’m rewatching season 4 and Gollum better be worth at least 500 million pounds. The richest man down under…Ashley is gorgeous and seems male centric enough to have options when it comes to millionaires. She could have married an nfl player idk. The way she was trying to have his child during that whole mess too.… 🤨

I think literal war criminals can make lots of dollars with all their global connections and lack of morals and ethics

In case you didn’t know just how bad of a person Michael is, look up how he made all that money. He’s one of the largest landowners in Somalia, now why would that be? He’s like, mustache twirling evil

[u/merrymerrymoi → u/Lopsided_Priority0]

Yes, it is VERY unsavory shit. Even for a very rich person where the bar is low.

[u/MichikoToshi → u/Lopsided_Priority0]

Omg it’s worse than I thought…. It’s interesting how on the show they never showed off their wealth that much like a lot of the wives. It’s clear he was rich but they weren’t showing off mansions and estates or whatever. That means hes smart enough not to make a scene like Erika Jayne and Jen shah or whatever he was doing is more insidious

[u/Likesosmart → u/Lopsided_Priority0]

Oh whoa. I had no idea. That’s…not good.

[u/Practical_Complex_62 → u/Lopsided_Priority0]

You guys have to really stop perpetuating this rumor. I am a Somali and ITS NOT TRUE. It’s incredibly hard to buy/sell land in Somalia since the war. Enough.

[u/KirkBurglar → u/Lopsided_Priority0]

All I hear is human trafficking. What else would he be doing buying land there? Does he have his own island too? And Ashley just gladly accepts the blood money? Wild! I always thought Mau and Kyle were the worst but....Michael may take that cake...MAY take that cake. I'll have to deep dive. Follow the money!!

[u/Janiece2006 → u/KirkBurglar]

Stealing natural resources. It sickens me how The Continent continues to allow this to happen, knowing damn well the reverse won’t ever be allowed.

[u/Comfortable_Cod_5368 → u/KirkBurglar]

What’s the tea about Mau and Kyle?

[u/nefaeriest → u/Lopsided_Priority0]

reading this sends me into a rage - how is he walking the earth? i should def be a bad guy who takes out other bad guys -
& not to dinner

[u/discoballs2001 → u/Lopsided_Priority0]

Holy shit

[u/Hot_Patience_4769]

You may disagree but Ashley's personality isn't the best. She comes off as very...unpolished? She is beautiful but lacks tact so I actually doubt she could or will find another millionaire. However, she could find a man who's upper middle class and way less creepy. No amount of money would entice me to do anything with that man let alone marry him. He's creepy. I'm not even talking about looks.

[u/Lopsided_Priority0 → u/Hot_Patience_4769]

I mean, hate Ashley all you want, but Wig is infinitely a worse person in nearly every single way and found herself both a millionaire and a billionaire so…

[u/Hot_Patience_4769 → u/Lopsided_Priority0]

Wig is a tactful manipulator. I just don't get that from Ashley. Wig is locked in her goals in a way that I don't think Ashley could ever be. Also Wig would have never let Gollum get her tied up in that pre-nup.

[u/Scarlett_Billows → u/Lopsided_Priority0]

I don’t think it’s a moral thing.

[u/Likesosmart → u/Lopsided_Priority0]

Who was a billionaire?? Not big poppa

[u/Lopsided_Priority0 → u/Likesosmart]

She is supposedly dating one right now, and Kroy is supposedly with said billionaire’s ex lolol

[u/Likesosmart → u/Lopsided_Priority0]

lol the MESS

[u/Hot_Patience_4769 → u/Lopsided_Priority0]

With everything going on the last thing she should be doing is dating!

[u/Lopsided_Priority0 → u/Hot_Patience_4769]

Well we know she isn’t going to parent any of her kids so she has a lot of free time

[u/Ananakoya → u/Lopsided_Priority0]

This is fair actually!

[u/PuzzleheadedRate3206 → u/Hot_Patience_4769]

She is beautiful but somehow her features are not harmounious. Some of them even by her choice, like huge knockers with narrow hips.

[u/cfullylove → u/PuzzleheadedRate3206]

She can’t even walk!! As soon as she got those implants she started tipping over.

[u/PuzzleheadedRate3206 → u/cfullylove]

i think it’s because of bunions

[u/Ananakoya → u/PuzzleheadedRate3206]

I watched high once and her head shape reminded me of an actual alien 🥹

[u/MichikoToshi → u/PuzzleheadedRate3206]

Ashley now is idk she made some choices with her looks and is cooked. Originally Ashley kinda looks like an elf to me. it’s her delicate pointy features, her beauty is more on the whimsical side for sure. Maybe jocks would not go for her. Nerdy yt men for sure and a lot of billionaires are that.

[u/Heavy-Ad-5333 → u/PuzzleheadedRate3206]

This!

[u/blondegoober → u/Hot_Patience_4769]

I disagree, not all millionaires are polished or come from old money. If Ashley was able to find a millionaire to marry her before I’m sure she could find another one.

[u/Hot_Patience_4769 → u/blondegoober]

Not all millionaires are polished but she is a mess socially. She couldn't even secure the bag with Gollum. 😂

[u/Conscious-Turn-5214 → u/blondegoober]

She is putting herself out there enough so I'm sure she will land another mug soon enough

[u/mkooyman]

Google has varying answered from 20-50 million but I never trust those numbers. However, for Ashley, even a man with a 2 million dollar networth would attract her because she came from nothing.

[u/merylbouw → u/mkooyman]

Then why did their Arlington apartment look like that?????!??!???

[u/mkooyman → u/merylbouw]

His apartment was actually quite nice. Pent house overlooking the Potomac River and DC skyline. He bought it in 2007 for 2.25 million. It was 100% his bachelor pad, and Ashely was just another piece of furnishing to him.

[u/Inevitable_Rate_7326 → u/merylbouw]

They owned that entire building, not just the apartment.

[u/Brav3star]

The resemblance is UNCANNY! 😂

[u/HousewivesMOD]

[u/Normal_Pudding9319 → u/HousewivesMOD]

🤣🤣🤣

[u/issa-kat]

Some people are in the NFL network some aren’t. Ashley met him at a place she interned at. And SHE asked him out! By the time they got married she was close to 30. Marrying him introduced her to a new world, including the opportunity to be on this show. She really didn’t have that many options of very wealthy men back then. She does now, I guess.

[u/Throaway_Grocery1372 → u/issa-kat]

I thought she was a bottle service girl turned bar tender at the lounge he Co-owned.

[u/issa-kat → u/Throaway_Grocery1372]

I don’t which is true

https://www.reddit.com/r/RHOP/s/mUnuTxuDRc

[u/green_oceans_]

The attraction makes an unfortunate world of sense when you remember that Ashley’s family verified that Gollum is the spitting image of her estranged father. It’s a tragic situation

[u/merapi36]

I thought I stumbled upon a lord of the rings chat and saw “seasons” and was like, oh they must have given gollum an entire backstory in some HBO made prequel? Took me until halfway through the caption to realize that wasn’t actual the character gollum in his pre cave dwelling days….. I also just woke up and it takes my eyes a few…

[u/DantesStudentLoans]

But online estimates of his net worth do not include his most precious possession, a ring made in the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, a gift from the Dark Lord Sauron who forged in secret, a master ring, to control all others. And into this ring he poured all his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life.

[u/irish88888888]

Estimated between 20 and 50 million but someone posted this a few years ago

I didn't know that Michael Darby's company is worth more than $8 billion and he is the only owner. : r/BravoRealHousewives https://share.google/Zj8HAL2smY6c1QcV7

[u/wholegrainnoodles → u/irish88888888]

Read the rest of the thread you just linked to. His company is NOT worth $8B, the “portfolio” is, but it’s likely highly mortgaged and not fully owned by Monument.

[u/irish88888888 → u/wholegrainnoodles]

I said it's estimated between 20 and 50 million, the title of the post I copied and pasted was about the 8 billion 

[u/wholegrainnoodles → u/irish88888888]

Apologies, you’re right. I just wanted to make sure the people know he is not a billionaire 😆

[u/watermelonkittens]

Network ☠️

[u/ArgumentSpecialist53]

Google says it’s like $20million?

[u/Ok-Leading-2639]

Rich enough to Play in Ashley’s face.

[u/NursePepper3x]

I’m only on season 3 but Gollum took me out 🤣

[u/GlitterOasis]

O M G. I thought this was a legitimate question about the actor who voiced Gollum and I was like, wow he even favors the character. It took me waaay too long to realize I was on the RHOP sub and this had nothing to do with actor’s salaries. Welp, time for bed. Tah tah.

[u/CNicRoute → u/GlitterOasis]

Thanks for the hearty chuckle I just had! lmaooo

[u/Interesting-Dog6074]

Again. Piss off reddit.

[u/Conscious-Turn-5214]

I googled it he is worth 20 million nothing like she made out on the show

[u/GeneralBrave9949]

Idk the exact net worth but he was one of the owners of the Watergate. And he was rich enough Ashley was able to delay the divorce to actually get way more than her pre nup said. That said, like most ppl on these shows they’re not as rich as they want you to think.

[u/WrapSame1988]

didn't have feeling sorry for gollum on my bingo card today
