How Much Money does Tom Girardi have? • Tom Girardi is an attorney in the United States who has a net worth of $100,000. Tom might be best known for being Erika Jayne’s ex-husband. Jayne is a cast member on “Real Housewives.” From 1999 to 2020, they were married. Tom thought his net worth was about $264 million in 2015. In a 2020 court case, Tom said that he used to be worth between $50 million and $80 million, but he no longer had any money. It’s hard to understand, but we’ll try to explain everything in a minute.
Successful Consumer Lawyer • Before becoming famous for being on a reality show, Tom was known as a very successful consumer lawyer in California. Tom won billions of dollars in court cases for his clients over several decades. His firm, Girardi & Keene, was the first to take on significant cases on a contingency basis, which means that clients didn’t have to pay anything upfront. In exchange, Girardi & Keene would get 25–40% of the final judgment amount. Because of these cuts, Tom became very rich.
Start of a Job • He came into the world in June 1939. Girardi went to Loyola Marymount University, Loyola Law School, and New York University and got degrees from all three.
Lawyer in the State of California • In 1970, Girardi was the first lawyer in the state of California to win a medical malpractice case worth more than $1 million. He took on cases against companies like Lockheed Corp., the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and Pacific Gas & Electric Co. Girardi also took on the seven biggest Hollywood movie studios. His famous case against Pacific Gas & Electric gave $333 million to 650 people in Hinkley, California. The movie Erin Brockovich was based on this case.
Relationships • Tom got married to the actress Erika Chahoy in 1999. He was in his 60s when she was in her late 20s. It was his second marriage, and he was still in a heated argument with his first wife about their property. When they met, she was a waitress at Chasen’s, a restaurant in Beverly Hills that Tom co-owned with his brother. • Read Also: aydinmaxwell
Blame to Stole Money • Tom and his law firm were enforced to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in December 2020. His two former law partners were among his creditors. Each of them said he owed them $750,000 and $1.5 million. A federal lawsuit filed a month earlier said that Tom stole “millions” of dollars that were owed to clients.
Settlement Money for Case • A creditor testified in court a year earlier that Girardi gave $20 million to Erika’s entertainment business. Plaintiffs in the bankruptcy case said that Tom and Erika’s divorce was a “sham” and that she might be sitting on that $20 million. More creditors are said to have come forward with similar claims that Girardi did not send the settlement money.
Legal Demand to Erika Lawyers • Lawyers in charge of the Girardi Keese bankruptcy sent a legal demand to Erika’s lawyers in August 2021. The demand said that between 2008 and 2020, Erika spent $25 million on assistants, a full-time glam team, PR firms, and a dance agency. The New York Post said that the letter said Erika spent $14.25 million on her American Express card alone.
