Leakes claimed her wealth came from “Trump Checks” obtained during her stint on Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice, but EVERYBODY KNOWS that show is centered around charitable contributions.
NeNe has since backpedaled, stating she’s “rich in spirit” or some ish like that, but she managed to capitalize from her quote by putting on a few t-shirts.
[READ: Has NeNe Gotten Too BIG for Atlanta?]
Now the Trumps have spoken up about NeNe and basically her tall tales of “Trump” checks is…
Donald Trump, Jr. was asked about NeNe’s “Trump check” recently and he replied:
Honestly, I have no idea. All the celebrities on the show play for charity. She received a small appearance fee, sure, but that was it.
And as far as NeNe’s claims that she’s trump tight with the Trumps, and that he has helped her secure business deals, Trump, Jr. states:
And as far as I know, she’s not involved with any of our other business or corporations. So I’m not sure what she’s talking about.
On a related note, NeNe is still getting “checks” albeit not “Trump” checks. She is reportedly being featured in a recurring role on yet another popular television series.
The loud-mouthed diva was recently spotted on the set of the popular television series GLEE where she is reportedly filming a guest spot.
Rumor has it that NeNe filmed a guest appearance on Glee as Sam’s (Chord Overstreet) swim coach, and photographic evidence of Leakes on set further confirmed the talk.
NeNe dons a red and black tracksuit with sneakers (no word on if they were “red bottoms” but the mere fact that she was in flats proves she was doing SOMETHING out of the ordinary.
At first I wasn’t too convinced about NeNe being featured as a swim coach since we all know she’s not getting that quick weave wet LOL but after her profile was caught on the previews, it sealed the deal!
And to top all that that off, it may actually be a recurring role.
Nene Leakes flew back to L.A. this week to tape a second episode of Glee. My source on the set says that today’s shoot was very long and filmed in the pool/gym of Ventura High School.
Nene always seems so happy in her tweets when she is out there filming. To make the day even sweeter for Nene, it’s her birthday! Today’s shoot is not for the Grease episode but for another episode all together. (source)
As far as those “Trump Checks” are concerned, we all know Nene exaggerates, but she’s certainly a hustler! Can’t knock that can we?

NeNe Leakes Lands Another Acting Gig But Don't Worry... She's Still A "Housewife"!
And only 4 relevant years! She looks FABULOUS!!!That Trump check was just a footnote for the huge footprints before her. Stiletto your azz on up the sequinned ladder of success Nene! I love you!
And of course there’s not that many Trump cards they’re gonna throw Nene’s way. 1st,she walked off the show,2nd,she declared herself a devoted Obama supporter and democrat.I wish I had her wine to toast to that!
There’s a Hater in every bunch…Hell I’ll take the THOUSANDS TOO…. I don’t care for her but ya cant knock her hustle. If she was sitting on her A$$ everyday people would still have something to say! DO YOU NENE!
HATERS!!!!
Well at least her kids ain’t sleeping on no air mattress in a sparsely furnished apartment. And she keeps her son’s groomed and dressed well. And we don’t hear her begging Greg for no damn child support…She doing something right…shit!!
She’s a hot ass mess.
You can tell who ain’t never had shit, they name drop and pronounce the damn names wrong. That tv don’t tell the truth. Only Kandy and the lawyer got it like that.
and like she said, being RICH (bitch) has nothing to do with my money, honey. there are so many ways a person can be rich.
People took that line waaaay out of context. You know good and well Nene was rubbing the fact that she was getting a check in Marmaduke’s face. And I agree with Jaime.
KILL YO SELF if you thought The Trump gave her MILLIONS anyway!!!! I have a Love/ Don’t Like thing for NeNe…She’s funny as HELL though…
Ne Ne act like a nigga that ain’t never had shit. She probably ain’t had a hustle since her stripping days being married to Greg. So now she’s gettin paper on her own…and hell that ish is liberating. I’m so not mad at her
NeNe is a clown, purely for our entertainment, to laugh out loud! I haven’t met/talked 2any real Black women who like/appreciate her persona or “hustle” whatever you want to call it, she’s still a hot ugly messy mess. That is all, now I’m back to the real work of being a real housewife of Atlanta.
I thought NeNe was balling from them appearance fees that she be doing. She be in LAX/Miami a lot lately?
Is them $150 tshirt making money?
I am on the fence on this one – but my opinion/position on this is she getting a lot of apperaance request based off that show (i sure wish she didnt quit because she was doing well until she quit – and she may be aggressive but that is good in a business woman)
I dont know … but I think it was just a play of word ~ but take it for what it is worth at face value.
She be hooking up that qik weave
People believe anything they read of course dey want y’all to think she made no money off the show duhhhh to throw y’all off but during celebrity apprentice she was doing alot of appearances and she never said she made all her money from that show she told Sheree she just came back from cashing a trump check at the end of the day NeNe is a actress, she has her own restaurant,her own wine,t shirts and lounge coming soon so quit hating u been blogging longer than her and u ain’t got shit going on for u its clearly dat u have something against women who got more than u!!!Love NeNe and I’m happy for her success!!!
@ashley said “NeNe is a actress, she has her own restaurant,her own wine,t shirts and lounge coming soon so quit hating u been blogging longer than her and u ain’t got shit going on for u its clearly dat u have something against women who got more than u!!!”
You’re right Ashley. I’ve been blogging almost 5 years and have nothing to show for it but this lousy blog. *sigh* You called it. I guess I’ll forever live in my mom’s basement for free and blog it out til I can afford a house of my own, nice expensive cars, designer bags and “red bottoms” just like those ol’ stupid Atlanta housewives I’m so envious of.
Your comment just made me realize how much it sux to be me right now!
*slams door and cries miserable tears*
As far as the "I’m rich b*tch" saying, didn’t David Chappell say it first?
do you nene….stop being messy atlanta
Get your paper Nene.
you can tell when someone grows up poor and gets a little bit of money, they do not know how to act. if she wants to see what rich is she needs to look at the houswives of beverly hills. now that is real money.
@LadyLun: who gives a s**t. Aint’ he a crack head or crazy or both? He’s irrelevant.Does he still have a show?
@trina@atl: Yeah,and they’re hangin’ themselves,going homeless and losing husbands.Way to go Beverly Hills Rich Azzed Housewives! And I watch just because of that classy drama!
Nene is my girl! Get your paper!!
Lets get something straight all dem women from Beverly hills don’t have no money dey front just like Sheree people able to make ur own money is a blessing and accomplishment I’m happy for her!!! Success and money brings alot of haters she is doing good for herself in the words of Sheree if she don’t think highly of herself who will get ur money NeNe!!!
Nene is a hot mess, but I can appreciate her hustle. When you come from very little, it ain’t easy when you do get money in your hands. I hope she’s wise with her investments, and finds happiness.
HI, I just found your blog yesterday, I flipped through it and read a lot of the comments and I can say that you truly have Haters..lol..so you must be doing something right
I don’t see why they were dogging you when this is your blog, so why come on here to attack you for your opinions
Just want you to know that you have gained another supporter!!!!!
Nene don’t have any money because if she makes a dollar she spends ten, she will ALWAYS be broke, maybe not a broke as Sheree but broke all the same

@atlien I guess I pushed ur button u responded guilty speaks I guess! I come to dis site all the time and everytime u speak on NeNe u always gotta put something negative u never have nothing nice to say about her nobody never told u if you aint got nuthin nice to say then don’t say nuthin it at all I don’t care or who wat u post learn to be fair give credit where its due and quit hating
@atlien like u always have nice things to say about Phaedra but ain’t tell everybody how that girl writing a book on Phaedra but if dat was NeNe u would post dat fast quick and in a hurry I like ur website all I’m saying is learn to be fair and give credit where its due right IS right and wrong is wrong be fair
Ashley shut ur Dick riding ass up! Bitch if u don’t like atliens opinions then don’t come on her blog simple as that ..she don’t have to be fair..u on her shit not vice versa! So Fuck you and bullwinkle (nene)
Bitch its her blog but dis my internet and my opinion so if u don’t like it u can go suck Bullwinkle dick and don’t worry about wat I got to say did u here ur keywords its her blog not urs so why u care and the only dick I ride is my man sorry but there’s a thing call right is right and wrong is wrong if u don’t like wat I got say pluck ya eye bald out
I meant to say pluck ya eye balls out cause I’m gonna continue to state my opinion
LOL @ATLIEN comment to Ashley! I keekeed at that one!
@Ashley you assume ATL don’t have what the "broke biatches of duluth" aka RHWOH have but with the exception of Phaedra and Kandy they doesnt have much.
Marmaduke Sharee – mounds of dirt and a air mattress sponsorship,
Nene – a thousand dollar trump check that she needs to pay her "rent to own"
flunky Cynthia might have a little bit in the bank but pimp daddy uncle Ben need it for his ghetto bar. she will give it to him to. and she still paying for her own wedding.
I would put the few coins I hav on ATL having as muchasorMORE than them broke bitches! That hatful Sandra said ATL would be on RHWOA one day so she is doing SOMETHING. WINNING! u come everyday but you come to HER site and tell HER what to say? Are you the new Internet police going blog to blog to make sure they are FAIR? Gurl have a seat!

YOU brought it and now you gettn SERVED. YOU said:
"Success and money brings alot of haters she is doing good for herself in the words of Sheree if she don’t think highly of herself who will get ur money NeNe!!!"
Girl again. HaveASeat!
@aahley You got caught like nene and them TRUMP CHECKS in A BIG FAT LIE!
Go NeNe, I am happy for any woman making it, you to Michelle (atlien)…God bless..May the Lord bless you and keep you….
To all yall retards who thought NeNe meant "rich in spirit" and "rich in life" needs to go jump off a bridge, cuz yall should know (cuz us with real sense do) that the hoe was trying to make America (or black America, cuz nobody white watches the show) believe that she was rich IN MONEY. That’s why she kept throwing Trump’s name around. Get it together.
And trust me, NeNe will not get far in her business ventures. She’s too loud and she is only an "it" person, meaning she’ll only be around as long as RHOA gets tv time, which might not be that much longer from the looks of things. NeNe is also transparent phony…do you peep how she sashays around in her heels and how she talks? Her movement, her body language, EVERYTHING about her is phony. No ma’am, NeNe.
i be sooo glad when this BIG UGLY SISSY just go away!!!
@Sasamina; No whites watch the show?? Really?? There are more "whites" up Nene’s azz than Blacks.As we can see,there’s a lot of hatin’ goin’ on with the sistahs vs Nene.Yet she’s always supporting the sistahs just by being herself.She is exactly a mirror of the strong woman many would like to be.She will cuss a mofo out when crossed.Yeah,there is another way to handle it but she aint’ got that kinda’ camera time.As far as the "Wonderful Whites",their the one’s paying her.Who black do YOU personally know with the successful "white"and black connections she has.And not to mention fans like Anderson Cooper,all of Bravo’s housewives want to associate with her.Everyone wants her on their show.And not once has she tried to change her dialect or opinions.She even tells "white" hosts,fans etc. that it’s because the housewives of Atlanta are "brown girls" is the reason for their off the charts success.I gotta get her wine to toast to that alone!
I have never been on tean Nene and she do get on my nerves sometimes, BUT regardless, for the moment she is gettin hers while she can. I can’t knock that. And some people dont believe that you can still rise to the top without stepping on other folks, but maybe that’s her lesson for 2012. Anywho, I dont like Nene but aint mad at her one bit. And if Sheree is able to step back and let go of the ridiculous need to be "Labelled Up" everytime she leave the house/apt/condo/rathole or whereevahs she living, and put those kids first ALL THE TIME, I would applaud her all the way to the Housing Authority to pick upo her rent check
Sheree just mad that her acting hasnt brought her half the shit Nene has gotten. But my grandfather says if you not being hated on you not doing right,haters are an asset…love em and keep moving forward.
LOL @ quick weave.
Nene is getting paid whether anyone like it or not. She is doing honest work and aint having to go to court for no child support or take money from drug dealers or trick some baller into riding raw and knocking her up.
Nene a boss bitch. She a loud bitch but a boss bitch nonetheless.
Um…GLEE a gay show and she playing a swim coach? This don’t sound too good.
Awww Lawd, y’all please let’s not argue, :). Nene has been working my nerves of late but I had an opportunity to re-watch some of their earlier shows and I miss the old NeNe (she was loud yes but there seemed to be an element of truth in what she was saying back then). BTW @ Ashley: I don’t particularly like one "housewife show" over the next but do a little research on Lisa Vanderpump-Todd and Adrian Maloof-Nassif (Housewives of Beverly Hills) and you’ll find that these women are filthy rich, especially Adrian. Their playing on a whole "notha" playground, lol. Of course not all of them all doing as well as these two but they didn’t join a reality show to live a pretend rich existence they have been and are filthy rich (Taylor, Kim, & Brandi not included). Just my two cents which ain’t worth a thing to nobody but me so no harsh words need be directed my way,
The people that are suggesting that NeNe is “real” are probably just as ghetto and ignorant as she. Being real has nothing to do with being loud, obnoxious, or embarrassing. As Kandi is proving (the only real business woman on the show), when you have money…YOU DON’T DISCUSS IT! I am a brown girl that acts NOTHING like NeNe. She doesn’t represent or carry herself ANYTHING to like the strong, CLASSY, educated, driven Black women that raised me! Please don’t get confused, the majority of white america is FASCINATED with NeNe, thinking she is their idea of how black women are…that way they can see separation between them and us. No, not the majority of us educated black women that are no different in class and decorum. NeNe is doing her, but she is not a representation of ANYTHING good for young black America. To many of us are materialistic, fake, and classless as it is…
OMMMMMGGGGG!! Seriously people! "rich in spirit" and "rich in life"?? Those of you who believe that HAVE to be slow. She knew what she was saying. She’s been talking about her money all season. "I paid cash money honey". She is vain and over the top because she came from nothing and now has a little something. She is ambitious because she refuses to hit rock bottom again. I’ll give her that. But she lacks class! Money can’t buy that. All the sacheting, loud talking and fake smiling with those DONKEY TEETH…please sit down Nene! NEXT!
Great comment Kam B!! Well said!!!! And I agree 500%!!
WHO EVER SAID THE CHECK WAS WORTH MILLIONS?????? I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE ARE ACTING SO STUPID ABOUT THIS…IT OBVIOUS THAT FROM HER APPEARING ON THE SHOW OTHER OPPORTUNITIES HAVE OPENED UP FOR HER AND THAT IS WHERE SHE IS MAKING MONEY FROM…WHO WAS DUMB ENOUGH TO THINK THAT THEY WERE GETTING PAID THAT MUCH MONEY????? #useyourcommon
NeNe gives me a hardy chuckle every SANGLE time I see her. LOL
Her make-up is always on point and her shenanigans keeps people talking.
"I am very rich" said Nene.
I saw this episode and wondered what was Ms Leakes true definition of rich?
Nene did not grow up poor but she is a name dropper, like a lot of women. She made connections with Trump and her appearance fees are sizable. With all of that adding up, she probably has quite a bit of money.
Love me some Ne Ne!! People can say what they want! But she about her money! I say get it girl! She come along way! On her own!! Go Ne Ne!
@Kam B- (Mochababy runs to the mirror) In the voice of NeNe Leakes – I’m not brown, I’m Bleeck, Very Very Bleeck!
@Kam B.; I definitely respect and revere what you’ve said.I know in real life I will never meet Nene,but I will as a viewer love every sighting of her.When she determines to play villain to the extreme,I’ll cross the street,until then,in this dog eat dog world…she’s my dawg.
Team NeNe because she is indirectly cashing Trump checks kids. Let’s face it she became a household name after her appearance on his show. Haters on this thread sit down . This bish has definately came up. real talk
Sheree needs to take notes because in a min Nene is going to be Rich and Sheree is going to be living with her Mamma Working at Krystal burgers with that HS Diploma. And Nene is going to walk in and say im Rich now go get my burgers BITCH.
This site is ALWAYS wrong!
Nene NEVER stated she got rich from Donald Trump, she said "while you were running your mouth I was running to the bank cashing checks, Trump checks!" which she was for her appearance fee!
Now, she did meet the "pizza guy" thru Donald Trump because he owned the pizza joint that Celebrity Apprentice had their first challenge at and that’s why she credits Mr. Trump to her business deals with the "pizza guy"!…..
STOP THE HATIN !!!!!!! TEAM NENE !!!!
She Meant She’s Rich N Life,,Happy,,Health,Family,,BillsPaid,,No Bill Collecters,,=RICH
[...] [READ: Spotted: NeNe Leakes on GLEE Set... PHOTOS] [...]
[...] personally expect nothing less than pomp and circumstance from the “Rich B*tch” known for “Trump Checks,” but many fans were taken aback as NeNe showed off a bit of the enunciation learned in her acting [...]
Loving the new website!! It was a great experience volunteering for a few days while I was in Nerja last month can’t wait to come back next year and volunteer again xxx
