What Is Rosie Rivera’s Net Worth?
Rosie Rivera, a Mexican-American television personality, entrepreneur, and author, has an estimated net worth of $14 million as of 2022 [1, 3, 4]. She is widely recognized as the younger sister of the late Jenni Rivera, a celebrated singer who tragically passed away in a plane crash in 2012 [1]. Rosie’s role as the executor of her sister’s estate and her appearances on the reality TV show “Rica, Famosa, Latina” have contributed to her public profile [1, 14].
Jenni Rivera Enterprises and Estate Management
Following Jenni Rivera’s death in December 2012, Rosie Rivera was appointed as the CEO of Jenni Rivera Enterprises, as per a handwritten note left by Jenni [1, 3]. This role placed Rosie in charge of managing Jenni’s finances, brand, music, and merchandise [1]. At the time of Jenni’s passing, her estate was estimated to be worth around $25 million [2]. In this position, Rosie likely received a substantial salary that contributed to her net worth [8]. However, due to requests for audits from Jenni’s children, Rosie eventually resigned as CEO to avoid any misunderstandings regarding fund misappropriation [8]. While she stepped down as CEO, Rosie remained the executor of the estate until 2023 [8].
“Rica, Famosa, Latina” and Other Ventures
Rosie Rivera gained further recognition through her participation in the Estrella TV reality series “Rica, Famosa, Latina” [1, 14]. This show, inspired by “The Real Housewives” franchise, follows the lives of financially successful Latina women in Los Angeles [14]. Rosie was part of the original cast, which premiered on September 16, 2014 [14]. Being on the show would have increased Rosie’s visibility and likely contributed to her income through appearance fees and related opportunities. The YouTube channel for “Rica, Famosa, Latina” has over 621,000 subscribers and an estimated net worth of $1,687,944 as of April 17, 2025 [6]. The channel earns approximately $1,235 daily, $8,670 weekly, $37,572 monthly, and $450,859 yearly from advertising [6]. Besides her involvement in television, Rosie is also an author and inspirational speaker [8]. She has written books such as “Finding Beauty in the Ashes” and “Take Your Power Back,” which aim to inspire readers who have experienced abuse [8]. As a motivational speaker, Rosie could potentially earn around $312,000 annually [8]. Additionally, Rosie and her husband, Abel Flores, have launched a podcast called “The Power of Us,” where they share insights on marriage [8].
Real Estate and Personal Life
Rosie Rivera resides in her own home in Long Beach, California [3]. There were speculations that she lived in her late sister Jenni’s house, but that is not the case [3]. Jenni Rivera’s mansion in Encino, California, was put on the market for $4.18 million in 2016 [9]. The 10,000-square-foot property features seven bedrooms, ten bathrooms, a great room, formal living and dining rooms, a home bar, a home office, a chef’s kitchen, a pool, a waterfall, and a private hiking trail [9]. Rosie is married to Abel Flores, a Christian musician and worship leader [4]. Together, they have two daughters, Kassandra, born in 2003, and Samantha Chay Flores, born in 2013 [4].
Legal Battles and Estate Disputes
The administration of Jenni Rivera’s estate has not been without its challenges. In 2023, a federal lawsuit was filed by Jenni’s children against their grandfather, Pedro Rivera, and an aunt and uncle, alleging misappropriation of funds from their mother’s estate [10, 11]. The lawsuit claims that the trio conspired to funnel money from the estate to two music companies controlled by Pedro Rivera [10]. The estate, once valued at an estimated $28 million, became the subject of a public family feud [10, 11]. Following Jenni’s death, Rosie appointed her brother, Juan, to help oversee Jenni Rivera Enterprises, which included music, a tequila brand, beauty products, and a fashion line [10].
