Meredith Marks Fires Back at Heather McDonald’s “Fake Rich” Claims.
Heather McDonald slammed Meredith Marks for allegedly overspending on a $70,000-per-month rental and called her “fake rich.” Now, Meredith is setting the record straight.
Heather McDonald Calls Out Meredith Marks on TikTok
Comedian Heather McDonald went viral on October 4 after posting a TikTok rant aimed squarely at The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Meredith Marks. Heather criticized Meredith’s reported $70,000-per-month Park City rental and suggested the Bravo personality might be projecting a “fake rich” lifestyle. She even name-checked the cost of glam and questioned whether the show’s paycheck covers such expenses.
Heather contrasted Meredith’s spending with other Housewives, pointing to Gina Kirschenheiter from RHOC as an example of someone who prioritizes financial prudence and home ownership. She argued that longtime Bravo fans are savvy enough to know when someone is living beyond their means and said it’s “more stressful” for viewers to watch stars overspend just to keep up appearances.
Meredith Marks Claps Back
Meredith Marks didn’t let the accusations slide. After the TikTok made the rounds, she jumped into the comments section to defend herself. “While I have not spoken about what I spend, I appreciate your concern,” she wrote. “It is only irresponsible to spend what you cannot afford. Fortunately, I live well below my means. No need to worry. Sincerely, Meredith Marks JD-MBA-DJ.”
While she didn’t address the $70,000 rental directly, her response was a clear rejection of the “fake rich” label.
Behind the Bravo Persona
Meredith Marks’ portfolio runs far deeper than just reality TV. In addition to RHOSLC, she’s built businesses in fashion, jewelry, real estate, and even caviar—though the full scope of her income remains a mystery. One thing that sets Meredith apart from some of her Salt Lake City co-stars: she’s rarely there. Much of her time is spent in New York or traveling internationally, making her more of a global figure than an Utah local. Meredith recently secured a DJ residency in Las Vegas with a deal reportedly worth $3M.
Heather McDonald may have struck a chord with Bravo fans by raising the issue of overspending, but Meredith Marks isn’t backing down. Whether you see her as a savvy businesswoman or a big spender, she’s making it clear she’s in control of her finances, and she’s not here for the “fake rich” narrative.
