In February 2017, TMZ confirmed that Teresa Giudice paid off her court-ordered restitution of $414,588. Unfortunately, that wasn't the last time Teresa used her earnings for legal expenses. During a December 2019 Real Housewives of New Jersey episode, Teresa's brother Joe Gorga shared his concerns about Teresa funding Joe Giudice's quest to appeal his deportation. Per Page Six, he said, "Why continue to fight? You're burying yourself financially." When she said her daughters wanted him to fight, Joe Gorga told her, "Yeah, but when there's no money, it's that much harder."
In a confessional interview, Teresa wondered, "How can I put a price tag on our daughters having their daddy home?" It's actually a very hefty price tag. During the Season 10 reunion, Andy Cohen asked Teresa how much she spent on Joe Giudice's legal fees and back taxes. According to The Sun, Teresa said she spent "a lot." Andy asked, "Was it over a million dollars?" Teresa admitted, "Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah."
In 2019, Radar Online reported that Teresa was earning $62,000 an episode. With 18 episodes that season, that means she pocketed $1,116,000 for Season 10. Aside from reality TV, Teresa is hard at work writing books, endorsing products on Instagram, and making appearances, but in a February 2020 episode, she confessed, "I'll be honest, I stress about money all the time."
