'RHODubai' Newbie Taleen Marie's Lucrative Career Is Worth Paying Attention To

As the newest addition to the cast, Taleen Marie makes her debut in Season 2 of The Real Housewives of Dubai. She joins the cast during an interesting time, as old and new feuds are still running wild within the group. She seems to want to come into the group with a mindset of deflecting the drama, at least according to her tagline. Taleen clearly has the right idea going into the series, but does her net worth match up with that of the rest of the ladies?

RHODubai is the newest series in Bravo's Real Housewives universe, and is now in its sophomore season. Viewers who enjoyed the first season are likely looking forward to continuing to get to know the women of RHODubai, especially Taleen, who will hopefully add to the energy rather than detract from it. There have been a few hits and a lot more misses when it has come to bringing a new housewife into the fray. Newbies from recent seasons of other franchises have quit or been fired after their first season.

A woman of many talents, Taleen is a classically trained singer who has worked in the music industry since she was a teenager. She told Cosmopolitan ME that she's written and recorded "over a hundred songs with Grammy-winning producers and songwriters." She added, "My songs have been featured in commercials [and] reality TV shows, and one landed in the top 40 charts."

Since leaving the music industry, she has launched and is the CEO of her own company, in addition to pursuing several other pursuits. So, does her net worth match her history of success? One report estimates it at $2 million.

Taleen's talent was apparent very early on in her life. She started singing as a child and began singing professionally at only 9 years old, and even shared the stage with an opera legend. “At 9 years old, I began singing professionally with the Washington Opera and had the honor of sharing the stage with world-renowned tenors like Placido Domingo. After six operas, I had the privilege of singing for Pope John Paul II during his historic visit to the Holy Land.”

Since moving to Dubai in 2014 and getting married, Taleen has shifted her focus to entrepreneurship, starting up her own business in addition to her other work. She founded her own fitness and wellness company called Talfitness, and also sits on the creative advisory board of CTZN Cosmetics. She's also the proud mother of two girls, Gabriella and Sienna, who are currently 4 and 2 years old, and they certainly help keep Taleen very busy.
