How did Diana Jenkins come to be an enigma

What Diana Jenkins is All About?

Diana's beautiful outfit

In her introduction to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 12, Diana Jenkins says that more is better than having it all. With her diamond bracelet in hand and twirling in a bright-red gown, she is the epitome of the rich housewife.

She throws extravagant parties. She donates thousands to charity, flaunts her designer wardrobe in front of an envious and penniless Erika Jayne, licks her lips, says her stylists bring the clothes to her and licks her lips again; what's with that?

The fairy-tale life Diana leads remains a mystery, even after seeing many different aspects of her. As she journeyed from war-torn Bosnia to Beverly Hills, she lived in houses around the world, made celebrity friends, remarried, divorced, and became a mother while earning many millions.

Diana's growth

Diana was born in Sarajevo, Bosnia, during the communist regime that ruled former Yugoslavia. It is her middle name, Diana, that she is known by, rather than her legal first name, Sanela. Before emigrating to London in 1993, she spent more than a year in Croatia as a refugee after fleeing her home due to the outbreak of war in Sarajevo in 1992.

Roger Jenkins was a prominent analyst at Barclays Bank in London when Diana married him in 1999. They met at the gym - very L.A., right? For most of 2005 and 2009, Roger was London's highest-earning banker. His son, Innes, 22, has an Instagram profile called "entrepreneur." She is rumored to be dating fashion designer Ava Dash - "the Becky with the good hair" from "Solange and Jay-Z elevator."

Current status of the couple

Roger and Diana divorced amicably in 2009 but remained friends. After Diana met Asher Monroe at Victoria's Secret event, the 33-year-old singer and actor started dating her. A daughter, Eliyanah, was welcomed by the couple in 2020, and the couple is currently engaged. At Diana's Christmas party, Monroe twirled his long flowing locks as he serenaded guests.

After a divorce from one of London's highest earners, what happens? There is a fat divorce settlement! A $25,000 donation to charity can be dropped like a Starbucks order for Diana, who owns seven homes. Besides setting up all her clothes, she sends staff, such as Lia Davis, former Rachel Zoe assistant, to prepare her hotel rooms before arriving. There are more Cartier rings on her fingers than toes.

The net worth of Diana

This self-proclaimed "nouveau riche" housewife is unknown to how rich she is. A California wildfire threatened to burn down her house, so she filled up her car with Birkins and Banksys and drove away. In Lisa Rinna's words: She makes a lot of money! It's hard to confirm that. The actress's net worth is estimated to be around $300 million by several net-worth websites.

Lisa Rinna and Crystal Minkoff were Diana's friends before she joined RHOBH. Let's focus on famous people. She shares a supportive Instagram post with her best friend, Sir Elton John, wishing her luck before the season-12 premiere. John's charity work has been vital to Diana. As for Diana and Neil Patrick Harris, they are pals. Guy Ritchie and Gerard Butler are among her friends on her Instagram account.

Controversy over "madam"

On the Real Housewives franchise, many ridiculous scandals have been reported, including wives going to jail, being arrested by the FBI, and claiming to steal orphans. So, it wasn't unexpected when Diana denied being a "madam of high-class prostitutes" early on in this season of RHOBH.

As a child, Diana relied on charities for support when struggling, which is why she is an avid philanthropist today. In memory of her brother, she created the Irnis Catic Foundation in 2002. She also supports organizations that assist women and children affected by gendered violence. Her activism in the fight against AIDS has been recognized by the Elton John AIDS Foundation, where she sits on the board. Here are a few of the many charitable endeavors she has undertaken.

As Diana turned it into a central point about Stracke's character, it also became an issue with her. She has a particularly bitter feud with Beverly Hills' resident Southern Belle (and fan favorite), Sutton Stracke. Her point seemed to be Stracke's occasional bacon consumption, even though she is a vegetarian.
