Joe Giudice hasn't lived in the United States since he was deported to Italy in 2019, and it's time to talk about how The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum makes a living now in 2024. When Joe lived in New Jersey, he was his own boss, a freelance contractor. Now that he's living a new life, he has tried to make money in several other ways. The possibilities are endless for Joe when it comes to making money outside the U.S.
Joe and Teresa Giudice were imprisoned for lying about their income, hiding increased assets, and failing to file tax returns between 2004 and 2008. In 2014, the couple was charged with mail, wire, and bankruptcy fraud. Joe spent 41 months behind bars, and upon his release, he was sent to Italy. Joe came to the U.S. as a child but never got his passport or became a citizen. While Teresa is trying to get Joe back in the country, her attempts have failed so far.
Joe Giudice Started Making Money In The Bahamas Building Homes
He Was Building Homes In Late 2022
While speaking on his ex-wife Teresa's podcast, Namaste B$tches, in December 2022, Joe opened up about his life post-prison. He revealed that he had finally settled in the Bahamas and was extremely busy with work. Joe's new job is similar to what he used to do in New Jersey, except he isn't the boss this time. The former RHONJ star shared that he grew up working on rental properties and building homes. Joe revealed he is "second in charge" at his new position, noting that it was an "easy job." However, Joe may have left this position due to a new business venture.
Joe Giudice Was Selling Adult Toys
He Sold Them In 2020
Shortly after Joe settled into his new life in the Bahamas, he was selling adult toys online. Joe's business venture was even brought up and displayed on The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 11. According to a People article from May 2020, Joe partnered up with Zalo USA to sell adult toys to his social media followers on Instagram. At the time, Joe had in his Instagram bio, "Partner, European Distributor, Zalo USA." At the time, the more high-end adult products were selling for anywhere between $69-$200 per product. Joe was happy to be working with the company at the time.
Teresa helped promote his products on RHONJ .
Since Joe began partnering with the company in May 2020, which is the month of Mother's Day, he gave his followers a discount to give their moms a "Mother’s Day gift she won’t forget." Extremely strange, but Joe was clearly doing his best to make a living. Teresa also did her best to promote the business of the show. However, it seems Joe is no longer affiliated with the company as the brand isn't included in his bio anymore, and he doesn't follow them on social media. While this didn't work out for Joe, he found a new business he's thriving in while living in the Bahamas.
Joe Giudice Now Owns A Charter Tour
They Charter In The Bahamas, Italy, And Miami
In April 2023, Joe revealed he had started a new company by posting a photo in the water with his four daughters: Gia, Gabriella, Milania, and Audriana Giudice. The business is called Worldwide Charter Tours and "specializes in private charter tours servicing Miami, The Bahamas, and Italy." According to the company's first post, they are "excited to provide...top of the line experiences" and "include options for water excursions, fishing, private tours, and even private yacht charters." Worldwide Charter Tours has gotten a great start, allowing Joe to run his own business again.
Joe's new business might be what makes him a success professionally.
As of May 2024, Joe's charter business is still going strong. Joe shared several Instagram videos of the boat he uses to charter his guests, calling for his fans to book charters as soon as they can. It seems this charter business might be exactly what Joe needs to thrive professionally.
Other Ventures Joe Was Involved In
Joe Tried Boxing
Previously, Joe opened up about a few other projects he has been involved with. Joe shared that he has been working with stucco and said his current employer has helped him. Surprisingly, Joe has also started a consulting firm to help others deal with white-collar crimes. While Joe originally moved to Nassau for a boxing match, the former reality TV star has enjoyed the perks of the small island.
For Joe, the days of sharing his life on The Real Housewives of New Jersey are over, and it's doubtful he will ever be allowed to return to the United States. While his family continues to fight on his behalf, Joe is making do with his new island life, and he seems to be okay with the outcome. Now that he has a new business, he is living the high life, making new memories with his daughters in the Bahamas.
The Real Housewives franchise has become a staple of reality television, and its New Jersey iteration is just as packed with drama as the rest. The fourth show in the franchise, the women featured on the show have gone on to become stars of reality television. The success of The Real Housewives Of New Jersey has gone on to inspire two spinoffs, Manzo'd With Children and Teresa Checks In.
