She has given viewers some hilarious moments on this season with other housewives calling her “extra.” This has made many wonder what her successful husband is like.

There were rumors for years about Kathy joining the cast of RHOBH, especially since both of her sisters, Kyle Richards and Kim Richards, were housewives on the show. While Kathy did not end up holding a diamond, she did finally agree to appear on the show as a friend this year, and fans could not be more thankful that she made that decision. Kathy does not come off as calculated or scripted in any way. In fact, she is so funny and honest it seems like she forgets she is on television at all.

According to The Sun, Richard, who also goes by Rick, was born in August 1955. He is known as both the co-founder and chairman of Hilton & Hyland, which is a real-estate firm in Beverly Hills. Success runs in their family as his grandfather, Conrad Hilton, founded the Hilton Hotels. The successful businessman met Kathy in high school when he was 18 and she was 15. They tied the knot in 1979 and have been happy and together since. The couple share four kids together. They have two boys, Barron and Conrad, and two girls, Paris Hilton and Nicky Hilton, who are also well-known socialites.

For fans who want to keep up with Kathy’s husband, Richard is very active on his Instagram account and consistently posts updates on what he is up to. He has recently shared photos of him with his famous wife relaxing and spending the day together and videos of his travels around the world.
