Angela Oakley: How She Became a Self-Made Millionaire on RHOA
Angela Oakley isn’t just another pretty face gracing the screens of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”—she’s a self-made millionaire who carved out her financial independence, and honey, that’s no small feat. In the latest episode of Season 16, she introduced us to her life, which includes her marriage to NBA icon Charles Oakley. And while some might assume her success is thanks to her husband, Angela is quick to remind everyone that her millions came from her own hustle.
With a financial consulting business under her belt, she proudly declares, “I am a self-made millionaire.” This isn’t just talk; she’s invested in five properties, each undergoing renovations with the determination of a general in battle. “I will not let go until it’s finished,” she insists, showcasing a tenacity that many can only dream of. Her journey is all the more remarkable when you consider that she also balances family life with Charles and her two children from previous relationships, alongside their seven-year-old daughter Arleigh.
Their romance is a classic tale of fate, having first met at a party in Chicago, only to reconnect a decade later as neighbors. Talk about serendipity! But let’s not overlook the dynamics of their relationship—a blend of love, humor, and the occasional spat over kitchen habits. Angela playfully critiques Charles, who seems to have a penchant for dish-slamming while she’s recounting the drama from the previous night’s episode. Their banter reveals a deeper truth: the importance of accepting one another’s quirks and the growth that comes with therapy. “Through therapy, I realized I wanted him to change. Then, I realized that I have flaws too,” she confesses.
Angela’s story serves as a powerful reminder that success doesn’t have to be tied to the men in our lives. In a world where dependence is often romanticized, she stands tall as a beacon of independence. So, let’s raise a glass to Angela Oakley—an entrepreneur, a mother, and a woman who knows her worth. After all, while some may rely on their partners for financial stability, Angela is here to prove that you can build your empire on your own terms.
Class dismissed. If only we could all channel that kind of determination in our daily lives.
