Analyzing the Financial Troubles Behind Kim Zolciak's $1MM Debt

  Kim Zolciak-Biermann has made headlines for many reasons - from accusing one of her RHOA co-stars of making an unwanted advance, to having an argument with her mother over a porta potty issue - though, even as a famous TV personality, she still faces financial concerns. Her current issue involves the company she hired to put up holiday decor. Due to a delay in paying her bill, a collection agency issued her a lawsuit and demanded payment immediately. 1. She Failed to Pay a Mortgage Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Kim Biermann and husband Kroy Biermann narrowly managed to avoid a sheriff's auction for their Georgia mansion back in November 2022, having invested millions into it as featured on reality series Don't Be Tardy and Don't Be Late, featuring private hair salon, Versace china, home elevator, game room, gym and heated pool - as well as Kim dipping skinny in it regularly! But according to documents obtained by In Touch this March 7, Fulton County courthouse legal hours of sale will once more take place. Zolciak has long been one of the stars on reality television and has amassed an impressive net worth thanks to her appearances on RHOA and its spinoff reality show Don't Be Tardy for the Wedding as well as Kashmere Kollections business venture. Additionally, she was seen as guest star during Season 9 as well as becoming "friends with the Housewives" when returning as guest star during Season 10. Over time, her family has undergone dramatic change and expansion under public scrutiny. She and her husband share sons Kroy Jr., Kash and Kane while Brielle and Ariana from prior relationships also live under one roof. On Don't Be Tardy they discussed having additional children; furthermore she has spoken publicly about undergoing plastic surgery for her face in recent years. Reality TV star Lauren has an impressive net worth, yet she doesn't seem to be very responsible with how she spends it; evidenced by her foreclosure. She fell behind payments for her $2.6 million property and failed to repay a $1.65 million mortgage loan, prompting Truist Bank and Fulton County to hold a public auction sale of it soon after Truist bank requested that it happen. Hopefully, the couple can get back on their feet quickly before their home becomes vulnerable to foreclosure; but even if that proves to be impossible, I think their dream home won't be hard for somebody else to find. 2. She Failed to Pay a Lease Kim Zolciak-Biermann is a well-known Bravolebrity who boasts an impressive net worth. She can be found both on The Real Housewives of Atlanta and its spinoff series Don't Be Tardy as well as starting several businesses and raising two daughters: Brielle and Ariana. Though her success may have translated to financial prosperity, reality star, Khrystal Biermann recently filed for divorce from Kroy Biermann and it has been speculated that she may be facing serious financial difficulty as a result of it. A former NFL player, Kroy Biermann has reportedly been unable to keep up with their mortgage payments on their sprawling Georgia mansion which ultimately went into foreclosure because of an outstanding $300k loan they failed to repay on time. Zolciak-Biermann makes significant sums from her various business endeavors in addition to television appearances, including Kashmere Kollections beauty and lifestyle brand, perfume line, swimsuit company Salty K, as well as investments such as her rental property portfolio. The 46-year-old woman has managed to hold onto her high income for many years, yet has had difficulty paying her bills on time - leading her into financial difficulty and possibly facing foreclosure of her Atlanta mansion. Zolciak-Biermann and her husband bought their Alpharetta home in 2012 and often gave viewers tours on Don't Be Tardy, including on its exterior tour near Manor Golf and Country Club in Alpharetta. Unfortunately, Truist Bank filed foreclosure against it, leading to its auctioning off by Fulton County Courthouse on March 7. According to The U.S. Sun, Kim and her husband failed to repay a $300,000 loan secured against their expansive Georgia home, forcing them into selling it and moving into something more affordable. Reality star Kim Kardashian West reportedly feels heartbroken over her foreclosure, yet is optimistic about things turning around soon. To assist the family financially, she posted an appeal on her Instagram asking supporters for donations so she and her family can remain financially stable. 3. She Failed to Pay a Car Loan Kim Zolciak of Real Housewives of Atlanta may have earned much acclaim throughout her time on reality television, yet that does not entitle her to lavish expenses such as new car purchases and cosmetic treatments. Unfortunately, Kim has been late paying off her credit card debt and may soon face legal action from creditors. In 2022, it was reported that Kim and former NFL player Kroy Biermann's Alpharetta, Georgia home was in foreclosure due to the couple failing to repay a $300,000 loan, according to legal documents. It will now be auctioned by Fulton County Courthouse under Truist Bank's supervision. Kim was arrested for DUI charges and Ariana Biermann has reportedly been booked on three separate drug-related offenses; but, despite all this upheaval, Kim has managed to maintain an upbeat social media presence with photos of her children. Though Zolciak appears to be living beyond her means, she does have several sources of income that should help reduce her debt more quickly. These include appearing on reality TV shows and spinoff series as well as her own line of KAB Cosmetics as well as hosting podcasts; in addition, she sells products like her teeth whitener on Instagram. Reality star Katerina DePaulo is not shy about flaunting her wealth on social media, either. She regularly posts pictures in a Rolls Royce or with husband Kroy Biermann wearing Speedos on the beach; and has even been known to buy expensive jewelry and other luxury goods from time to time. At 44 years old, this young lady certainly knows how to attract attention and demonstrate her impressive assets, yet some purchases may not be necessary - her credit card balance exceeds many people's mortgages! 4. She Failed to Pay a Credit Card Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Kim Zolciak Biermann has experienced financial struggles recently, yet she appears determined to regain financial security. Two months after Don't Be Tardy was cancelled on Bravo, Kim Zolciak Biermann started soliciting support for financial support through her website; followers can donate any amount they choose as support. In October 2022, In Touch exclusively revealed that Zolciak-Biermann and Kroy Biermann's Alpharetta mansion in Georgia is facing foreclosure proceedings. Legal documents filed with Fulton County indicate they had failed to repay a $300,000 loan taken out to complete renovations on their dream home, leading them into this process and ultimately into auction on March 7 for sale to the highest bidder. Zolciak first rose to fame in 2008 when she appeared on the first season of Bravo reality show The Real Housewives of Atlanta. She appeared for five seasons before departing and co-starring with then NFL player Kroy Biermann (then known as Kroy Jagger "KJ") Kaia Rose Kash Kade and Kane Ren. The couple have four children together: Kroy Jagger "KJ," Kaia Rose Kash Kade and Kane Ren. Though she claims not to disclose her net worth, sources such as Celebrity Net Worth and Heavy estimate she could be worth anywhere between $500,000 and $4 Million. Though not broke, it does appear she may have been living above her means for some time now. Kim possesses several income sources through SaltyK swimwear line sales, KAB Cosmetics sales and podcast hosting income streams; in addition to selling beauty and health products via Instagram. While she does boast a multi-million dollar investment portfolio and owns multiple restaurants, Kim's current credit card debt exceeds her available funds - should she continue living beyond her means, we wouldn't be surprised to see her falling back into debt in short order.
