Romain Bonnet seems to be the definition of a good, protective, supportive husband who isn’t at all intimidated by his wife’s age, beauty, past, or thriving success in any manner. In fact, as explored in Netflix’s ‘Selling Sunset,’ he lets it turn into his own motivation to do better so as to provide for her and their family because he genuinely wants to. He doesn’t want to dim her sparkle; he simply wants to let it rub off on him so he can shine just as brightly, and they can truly be the power couple in the world of reality television.
How Does Romain Bonnet Earn His Money?
It was reportedly in early 2017 that French native Romain Bonnet set foot in Los Angeles, California, in the hopes of expanding his modeling career, just to immediately meet Mary Fitzgerald. She had actually picked him up from the airport as his realtor so as to immediately get to work and show him places where he could stay, only for them to click and begin dating within two days. These days turned into weeks, months, and years of them getting to know one another, culminating in his proposal to her in their condo on a cozy morning, as seen in season 1 of the show. At the time, he was a pastry chef and rising model, so although they had tied the knot privately in March 2018, they wanted to really celebrate their decision to be together forever.
However, since then, it appears as if Romain has done a complete 180 and left the days of working as a pastry chef behind, in exchange for grime, grit, and glamour. After all, he’s a model, an aspiring actor, as well as a contractor. From what we can tell, he is signed with the Wilhelmina Model Agency as of writing, under both their New York and Los Angeles bases, to ensure his financial stability. He has since modeled for brands like Tommy Hackett, Celeste Brightm, and many more. However, even though he is doing well for himself in entertainment, his primary title is Construction Project Manager at White Gloves Estates, through which he remodels houses across the Los Angeles County Area.
Romain Bennett’s Net Worth
With Romain’s experience as a pastry chef, his income from modeling, and the earnings he generates from being a project manager, it’s evident that he doesn’t need his wife’s wealth to get by. After all, while the average salary of a pastry chef was between $41,000 and $116,000 per year when he was serving in that position, a model in Los Angeles likely earns $120,000 per year. The fact that he has landed many shoots and even walked the runway for The Blue Jackets in October 2025 to raise awareness for prostate cancer also makes it clear that he is currently thriving. As for his income as a Contractor/Construction Project Manager, it depends on each project, but it is likely to be in the range of $80,000 to $110,000 per year. Therefore, considering his involvement in the world of reality television, the luxury real estate market, his experience over the past few years, and his potential investments, savings, expenses, and returns, we estimate Romain’s net worth to be approximately $5 million as of writing.
