Dennis, who is a real estate developer, had an average monthly income of $17,000, while his wife Judith had an average monthly income of $850 as a yoga instructor. Despite earning $17,850 a month, that didn’t stop the couple from having average monthly expenses of $57,537.

Cavallari is returning to the small screen on E!’s Very Cavallari. The series will follow her life as a wife, mother and owner of her flagship store Uncommon James.
