Umansky’s Claims on “Buying Beverly Hills”
Mauricio Umansky, estranged husband of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Kyle Richards, claimed on the reality show that Rick Hilton didn’t offer him a partnership when he was an employee over a decade ago. Umansky once served in Hilton’s luxury real estate firm, Hilton & Hyland, before launching his own successful company, The Agency, in 2011.
In an upcoming episode of “Buying Beverly Hills,” the real estate mogul shared a story about his experience working with the Hiltons.

“The Dealmaker” – Mauricio Umansky’s Memoir
In his 2023 memoir, “The Dealmaker,” Umansky delved into the chain of events leading up to the establishment of The Agency post his departure from Hilton & Hyland. He carries the viewpoint that his brother-in-law Rick Hilton was not prepared to pay him his worth. According to him, if Hilton & Hyland would have shown him “an inkling of professional love” and paid him his deserved amount, he would have stayed.
The real estate titan also alleged in his book that Rick Hilton and the family subsequently severed their relationship with him and his wife, even excluding them from family gatherings like Thanksgiving. This strain in their familial bonds happened until they managed to mend their differences later.
Resolution Between Umansky and the Hiltons
In a 2019 interview with Inman, Umansky conveyed that all was well between him and the Hiltons. He suggested that the families had reconciled, mentioning, “We’ve made up, we’re family.” He further added that despite having real fights, the families united and the scenario improved over time. Umansky underlined how critical events like Christmas, Thanksgiving, and birthday party gatherings aided mending their relationships.
Despite the family resolution, in July 2023, Umansky and his wife announced their decision to separate after a blissful 27-year marital journey.
In conclusion, the Hilton-Umansky family tussle unveils the ups and downs in maintaining professional relationships within a family. Although disagreements are inevitable in any working relationship, the way both parties go about resolving those disagreements ultimately shapes the growth and wellbeing of their bonds – familial or business.
