GRENADA, CARIBBEAN: Jill Zarin is an American real estate agent and reality TV star, who has built an impressive net worth of $20 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Her wealth stems from her successful career in real estate, as well as her role as a marketer for her late husband Bobby Zarin's business, Zarin Fabrics and Home Furnishings.

Through hard work and dedication, Jill has established herself as a prominent figure in both the real estate and entertainment industries, solidifying her financial success.

Recently, Jill Zarin caused quite a stir in the eleventh season of the hit reality TV show 'Below Deck'.

In the latest episode of the hit series, Jill who is well known for being a cast member of 'The Real Housewives of New York City' took center stage as an exceptionally demanding charter guest. She was seen going to great lengths to test and challenge the capabilities of the hardworking yacht crew.

 At one point during the episode, Jill told Xandi Olivier, “I want to dry my hair and there’s no electric in the bathroom. Come," to which Xandi responded, "Sorry Jill, I’m coming."

Jill said, “Can I tell you something else? I have took a lot of yachts before. Every bathroom is loaded with two brushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, bandaids, and cutics.”

The reality TV star added, "Has anyone said that before,” to which Xandi replied, “No they have not but I completely understand what you’re saying.”

Jill continued, "Even tums. Some people can't handle the water or whatever it is. You should have tums in the bathroom. 

In a confessional, Xandi shared her thoughts on Jill and said, “I think she’s annoying. I think it’s too much. Your freeloading guest is extremely demanding. This is too much. I need another stew just for Jill."
