What is George Peterson’s net worth?

George Peterson, a real estate and land developer from San Juan Capistrano, California, has a net worth of $20 million dollars. He gained notoriety after appearing on “The Real Housewives of Orange County” alongside his wife, Lauri Peterson.

Lauri was a full-time cast member for the first four seasons of “RHOC” and made appearances in seasons 5 and 8. The couple’s appearance on the show brought attention to George’s successful business ventures and contributed to his overall wealth.

Marriage and Family Life

George Peterson was previously married to Regina “Gina” Peterson before their divorce in 2004. Lauri, on the other hand, had been through a difficult divorce with her ex-husband Phillip Waring, with whom she had two children. She also has a daughter named Ashley from a previous relationship.

George and Lauri started dating during the second season of the show. In September 2007, they tied the knot in the first-ever reality wedding ceremony to be documented and televised. As a result of their union, Lauri became stepmother to George’s four children from his previous relationship.

Despite the challenges they faced, including Lauri’s financial struggles and her son Josh’s substance abuse and legal problems, they have remained married and continue to share their lives together.

Step-daughter of George Peterson arrested for operating meth lab

In September 2003, Orange County sheriff’s deputies raided the Laguna Niguel mansion previously shared by George Peterson and his ex-wife Gina. They arrested Adriean, Gina’s daughter and George’s step-daughter, along with several associates, for allegedly operating a meth lab in the luxury mansion. The deputies found 50lbs of meth in ready-to-be-sold tablets and liquids, which were worth over $1 million.

George Peterson’s Legal Battle with Ex-Wife and Dennis Rodman

In 2008, George Peterson had to seek a court order to remove his ex-wife Gina from their former Laguna Niguel home, where she was living with former NBA star Dennis Rodman. The couple was dating and storing two cars and a pit bull at the property.

George was granted a temporary restraining order against Gina a few weeks later. However, Gina and Dennis got into a physical altercation in Los Angeles, resulting in his arrest on suspicion of felony domestic battery.

After his arrest, Rodman left two cars and the pit bull at the Laguna Niguel home. One of the cars was a tan H-1 Hummer with Rodman’s likeness airbrushed on the back, and the other was a white Mercedes with purple flames. Neither car was in working condition.

In July 2008, a judge ordered Gina to remove Dennis’ cars, dogs, and any house guests from the Laguna Niguel mansion immediately.

Adoption and Legal Troubles

In 2016, Lauri’s son Josh faced charges for allegedly stealing a car and shooting someone, which could have led to a life sentence. However, he accepted a plea deal and served multiple years in prison. During his time there, he was brutally attacked by a fellow inmate. He was eventually released in 2020.

In 2015, George and Lauri adopted Josh’s daughter Kennedy Waring while he was struggling with addiction and legal issues.
