• NeNe Leakes: "I don't keep up with the Joneses, I am the Joneses."
• Lisa Wu-Hartwell: "If it doesn't make me money, I don't do it."
• Sheree Whitfield: "People are intimidated by my success."
• Kandi Burruss: "I'm an independent woman, doing it for myself."
• Kim Zolciak: "In Atlanta, money and class do give you power."
