Jennifer Tilly, known for her significant contributions to Hollywood, has gained newfound fame as a captivating figure on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”
Fans of Bravo were charmed by Tilly, whose vibrant personality and eclectic lifestyle shone during her debut on the reality show in its 14th season. As the spotlight turned on her, viewers discovered that this actress has acquired considerable wealth through a variety of unconventional interests.
At 66, Tilly openly identifies as a “hoarder,” revealing that she has a hard time parting with her extravagant collectibles.

The actress, also recognized for her iconic role in “Bride of Chucky,” owns several properties, including two adjacent mansions in Bel Air. One serves as her “real house,” while the other is her “playhouse.” Tilly humorously shared, “When the pandemic began, I thought I could finally create my ideal office. But even with two houses, I found myself lacking space for all my creative ideas.” In a nod to her playful side, she expressed her desire for a stripper pole to accommodate her fitness routines, despite the spatial constraints.
“I also dreamed of having a recording studio because I do voice work for ‘Family Guy’ in my closet, which gets complicated with all the equipment,” Tilly continued. “However, I soon realized there was no space for that either. I’m a hoarder, and I struggle to let go of even my favorite designer pieces, despite them being several sizes too small.”
Tilly pointed out the contrast between her houses, noting that her playhouse is larger and far less cluttered since it is not lived in.

During her time on the show, Tilly proudly mentioned, “I have invested in a property in Las Vegas with my boyfriend, as we are both professional poker players.” She and Phil Laak have maintained a relationship since 2004.
Additionally, she noted, “We have a beach house in Malibu, but we hardly visit because there’s a ghost there, and he isn’t fond of our presence. I can’t say I blame him.”Â
“I actually have five closets because I’m a hoarder. I never get rid of anything. How can I get rid of my Tom Ford Gucci? Even though that’s, like, three sizes ago.”

Tilly’s affinity for fine fashion was evident throughout her “RHOBH” appearances. She showcased an eye-catching Louis Vuitton-monogrammed handbag designed to resemble a cruise ship.
Her luxurious lifestyle has been supported not only by her acting career but also by her accomplishments in poker.

In 2005, Tilly made history as the first celebrity to triumph at the World Series of Poker, also winning the third World Poker Tour Ladies Invitational Tournament that same year. According to reports, she has garnered over $1 million as a professional poker player since then.
“In poker, we learn to be composed, regardless of the high stakes,” she explained. “As an actress, we are also instructed to maintain our composure. It’s all about managing your poker face, both at the table and on screen.”
Beyond poker, Tilly receives residuals from “The Simpsons,” one of the most successful animated series in history. She was previously married to producer Sam Simon for several years before their divorce in 1991, but their friendship endured until his passing in 2015.

Reflecting on her marriage, Tilly commented, “We were together for about a decade, and after our split, I received a stake in ‘The Simpsons’ during our divorce settlement. At the time, no one anticipated the show would have such longevity.”
