Have you ever wondered how rich Zoila Chavez is?

After she raised three children, in 1987 Zoila divorced her husband and decided to move to California to find a job. She was eventually hired as a weekly housekeeper for the noted real estate agent and TV celebrity Jeff Lewis, in 1998. This proved to be a lucky job for her, as she was soon offered a place in the cast of the TV reality show “Flipping Out”, which was aired under the patronage of Bravo Network. The show centered on Lewis’s life in Los Angeles, California, and his entourage that consists of his project manager Jenni, business manager, boyfriend Gage and among other assistants, Zoila. It focuses on house flipping and interior decorating, as well as his real estate consultation business, and was so successful that in 2014 the show was nominated for an Emmy Award in the Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program category. Since the show’s ninth season premiered in July 2016, and continues to maintain its popularity, Chavez’s net worth continues to grow.
However, as Zoila’s housekeeping services became more and more necessary, she eventually became Lewis’ full-time employee and has been serving as his “Director of In-House Operations” for almost 15 years, operating on all of his own and properties he helps design. It turned out that she has become a significant person in Lewis’s life, because in spite of him often being described as tyrannical, obsessive and compulsive, she is not afraid to confront him and managed to remain his right hand throughout the years.
In 2011, Lewis decided to surprise Zoila and pay for her plastic surgery as a birthday gift; this event was also covered in a series of episodes of “Flipping Out”. Chavez has also appeared on other TV shows such as “Lopez Tonight”, “The Jeff Probst Show” and “Interior Therapy with Jeff Lewis”, another reality program in which she starred next to Lewis. Considering her television appearances, popularity and net worth, it is possible that Zoila is one of the richest housekeepers in California, and even the whole USA.
When it comes to her personal life, there are no specific details of Zoila’s relationships. Currently she resides in California, having become a US citizen in 1996. She lives with several of her brothers and sisters. Chavez has three daughters – one of whom also lives in the US – and seven grandchildren. She stated that in her free time, she likes listening to hip hop and watching telenovelas.
