Joe Gorga Net Worth, Job, House

Joe Gorga’s net worth was over $2 million in 2021. Likewise, his wife Melissa Gorga held the same net worth as well.

Apart from his time as a reality star, Joe was involved with multiple businesses. He was into landscaping, trash business, flipping houses, owned and leases several properties, and was also a restauranteur for a short time. Reportedly, Joe co-owned an Italian restaurant (Gorga’s Homemade Pasta & Pizza) with his sister, shortly after their mother’s death.

According to Joe, it was his dream to open up a restaurant for his mother. But along with the hustle and bustle, he never got a chance to gift her the restaurant. Just by the time, he signed a contract on the place, his mother passed away. 

Unfortunately, the restaurant fell out of business just a year after its inauguration. His sister blame “shady management” for its failure and also claimed that they have no idea that they would be “overwhelmed” by the number of people coming in.

But this wasn’t Joe’s first loss in business. Previously, he was sued by a tenant for a slip and fall accident at a rental property that he owned. Also, later, he was sued again for $17,000 by Starlite Window for an unpaid translation with the company. 

However, Joe has made more profit from his jobs than the losses. Reportedly, he made over $2 million in 2020 just from flipping houses alone. We could see him flaunting his deals over IG which all ranged from over $500 thousand. But many accused him of sharing fake photos of flipped homes. He was even busted stealing pictures from other sites and posting over his IG.

As for his house, Joe lived with Melissa at a $1 million Jersey Shore waterfront manse in 2021. The 3,500-square-foot built house had six-bedroom on the first floor, a spacious dining room, and nautical-style chandelier and bay windows.

Previously, Joe lived at his 16-room, 9,100-square-foot home, NJ mansion for over 12 years. He sold the house for $2.5 million in Dec 2020.

Melissa and Joe Gorga: Wedding, Kids, Divorce

‘“That’s going to be my wife”, This was what Joe Gorga said to his friend when he first saw Melissa walking by with her girlfriends in Cancun, Mexico. He was on spring break vacation with his friend and fortunately spotted her. However, he didn’t approach her immediately.

Later, he saw Melissain again in New Jersey in the summer at a beach club, and the rest is history.

The duo then went on to marry on August 20, 2004. Commemorating their 16th wedding anniversary, Joe took it to his IG to write, 

“The happiest day in my life Was the day you finally became my wife. We are so lucky to have each other. Happy anniversary my love.”

Joe and Melissa share 3 kids named Antonia, 15, Gino, 13, and Joey, 10 (ages in 2021).

Though the two were going through a rough patch, Melissa was shown “fighting” for her marriage over the show. And it seems like, the lovebirds made it through the storm and avoided divorce. Just on Valentine’s day 2021, Joe uploaded their picture over IG with a caption, 

“Happy Valentine’s Day to the love of my life. She just keeps getting better (heart emoji)”
