In a rare moment of financial clarity, housewife Danielle Staub accurately told Teresa Giudice "Your house is in foreclosure if you don’t pay the mortgage." Staub, displaying a very basic knowledge of finance, predicted that Giudice would default on her NJ Renaissance bouncy castle. As foretold, Giudice officially went bankrupt to the tune of $13M in 2010. Her home, which was almost entirely covered in leopard print, gold, and baby cherubs that failed to watch over the family, was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Vicki Gunvalson is one of the few housewives spared the stigma of foreclosure, yet her 5,400-square-foot house has been on the market since 2011. It includes a $500,000 pool and a hybrid TV room and grotto. You can still buy it for $2M, which is $100,000 less than the original listing.

Sonja Morgan, the former wife of J.P. Morgan's heir and Tina Fey's "favorite housewife," has been trying to sell her Upper East Side townhouse, but nobody seems to be biting. Bought in 1998 for $9M, Sonja has dropped her original price of $12M down to a downright paltry $7M. Sonja can be found living in a small apartment near the house and renting it out. Applications from qualified husbands are welcome.

RHOA veteran Kim Zolciak clearly thought she was immune to the curse when she purchased her $1M home in 2012 and then took out a $300,000 line of credit to finance renovations, which included eight fireplaces and a babbling brook. Kim and Kroy were also "tardy for the party" with finances and owe a tax lien of $12,224 to Georgia State and Milton County.

In a bid to protect her house against foreclosure and halt the inevitability of housewife bankruptcy, Lydia McLaughlin strategically decided to just never buy it in the first place. Much like Arrested Development's stage home, she rents at $8,500 a month while the show is taping. Also of note: her house has a waterfall.

Facing $85,127 in unpaid taxes, having her home in foreclosure, and constantly being told that she's the "least favorite housewife" has not yet dampened Jacqueline Laurita's stepford wife smile. Instead, she assures that she's "working with the IRS."

After defaulting on $84,000 in loans for her Newport Beach home, Alexis Bellino decided to do the totally sane thing and try to sell the house at the height of the recession for about $7M. Then the Bellinos got a loan modification from the bank, who sold it for them at the slightly more reasonable $3M. Also of note is this questionable quote from their lawyer, "The issues between them and J.P. Morgan Chase are due to good business decisions."

Dubbed "Neverland" by frenemy NeNe Leakes, Sheree Whitfield's chateau never even had a chance. Her mansion was foreclosed upon before the paint could dry on her ballroom, "librart" or skate-rink. As a booby prize for not having a home, she got to go on Oprah and use her foreclosed home as a metaphor for her foreclosed life. Word to wise, don't dub your home "Chateau [Your Name]" unless it is paid for.
