Heather Dubrow rejects claims she inherited her wealth

Heather Dubrow has denied claims that she and her husband, plastic surgeon Dr. Terry Dubrow, inherited their wealth from Terry's late brother, Kevin Dubrow, the former Quiet Riot singer.

Speaking to Page Six's "Virtual Reali-Tea", the Real Housewives of Orange County star said the allegation made by co-star Vicki Gunvalson was "just not true".

Heather said the couple built their fortune through successful careers, businesses and investments. "We've had great careers, we've made good investments and have successful businesses," she said, adding that she would not apologise for their financial success.

The Dubrows have made significant profits from property sales, including selling their Newport Beach home for $55 million in 2022 and their Beverly Hills mansion for $16.5 million in 2025.

Heather said she ignores the inheritance rumours, but revealed Terry was upset by the claims. He criticised Gunvalson's comments as "insensitive" and challenged her to bet $100,000 that he had inherited money from his brother, insisting he "didn't inherit a dime".

Despite the dispute, Heather said she is not ruling out a friendship with Gunvalson, describing their relationship as generally positive in person but saying Gunvalson often tells different stories publicly.

The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Bravo on Thursdays, with episodes available to stream on Peacock the following day.
