What is Pavit Randhawa's net worth? Jessel Taank hits back at trolls claiming she rents her Chelsea apartment and moved to NYC for 'RHONY'

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Jessel Taank is mocking a recent allegation that she leased her New York City flat and relocated there just for 'The Real Housewives of New York'. Fans are anxious to discover how much Jessel's husband, Pavit S Randhawa, is worth after The US Sun recently confirmed that the Bravo star did actually relocate to New York just before the program began taping.

Earlier last week, the gossip site Deux Moi revealed some juicy details regarding Jessel. "Do you have any scoop on the new RHONY ladies?" a fan inquired of Deux Moi.

Of course, the gossip account gladly obliged and made a shocking assertion about Jessel. "Yes! Someone recently informed me that Jessel's flat is rented, and that she relocated to NYC for the show, which explains why she knew nothing about Tribeca...'Does that exist?'" Duex Moi unveiled.

This claim spread on social media, and Jessel ultimately became aware of it. She had no choice but to respond publicly to the accusation. The 'RHONY' star did not dispute the claim, but rather mocked it.

"My husband and kids are rented too…," Jessel replied on Taste of Reality's Instagram with a laughing-crying emoji, "found them on Craigslist."

According to Gossip Next Door, Pavit has a net worth of more than $4 million as of 2022. At the University of California, Los Angeles, he is pursuing a BA in Economics and Accounting. He went on to earn an MBA in Strategy and Finance from the University of Michigan's Stephen M Ross School of Business.

Early life

Pavit was born in 1979. He is an Indian-American who practices Sikhism. He had lived in Los Angeles before going to New York.

Education

Pavit earned a Master of Business Administration from the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, Los Angeles, according to his LinkedIn page.

Career

Pavit is an experienced management consultant, investment banker, project manager, and senior executive adviser with a background in strategy, operations, financial analysis, and mergers and acquisitions. He was the president of Phone Daddy, which handles offers on smartphones, that seek to bridge the gap between trustworthy, expensive tech items and regular consumers. Pavit formerly oversaw strategy and analytics at Harbor Freight Tools for almost six years.

Where does Jessel Taank live now?

The London native, who is the show's first Indian cast member, showed off her lovely Chelsea flat, which she shares with her husband Pavit and their two-year-old twins, Kai and Rio.

Jessel and her family recently moved into her flat in September 2022, according to a source, before filming began in October. According to the real estate website, the 3,000-square-foot condo was posted for $5 million on July 13, 2022, but was inexplicably removed from the market on September 14.

How much does Jessel Taank pay for rent?

The three-bedroom, four-bathroom condo offers 12-foot ceilings, modern renovations, and stunning architectural detailing. The building has a 24-hour doorman, a spacious private storage room, and a 4K-square-foot community roof deck with an outdoor cooking and eating space. It is unknown how much rent the reality star pays every month.

Where did Jessel Taank live before moving to NYC?

Jessel and Pavit acquired a magnificent four-bed, six-bath property in Dallas, Texas, for $1.4 million in May 2022, according to their deed, which The US Sun exclusively obtained. The 7,700-square-foot contemporary home has floor-to-ceiling glass windows, two connected parking spaces, and an inground pool.

The fashion publicist may not have known if she would be formally cast on the show at the time. Their Dallas property was listed for sale in March 2023 for over $2 million, but has now been reduced to $1,975,000. The pair, who have been married for eight years, also possess a luxurious flat in Dallas.

Jessel and Pavit also spent a long time in Los Angeles. Their last property, a four-bedroom, five-bathroom Mar Vista mansion, sold for $3.2 million in November 2021, according to public records.

Brynn Whitfield defends Jessel Taank

Brynn Whitfield supported Jessel in the comment section of the viral post, saying, "I abhor [sic] this sort of bottom feeder gossip. Who tf cares even if she did? Anyone who would judge someone for renting vs buying in New York, has never lived here. Lol. New Yorkers pay per month in rent what most people pay for a half a year of mortgage. Leave the place where she raises her kids alone."

The Tribeca comment is a reference to a recent episode in which Jessel disparaged Erin Lichy's New York neighborhood. She thought Tribeca was "really up and coming" and had "potential." Erin, a luxury real estate dealer, took offense and stated emphatically, "It's already there."

Who is Jessel Taank?

Jessel Taank is a fashion publicist, wife, and new mom of twin boys who are constantly on the move. Growing up in London, Jessel longed to pursue the American dream, and her hard work eventually landed her in New York. She struggles to communicate intimate details of her life with her parents across the pond because she was raised in a close-knit yet conservative Indian family. Jessel is a natural problem solver who is always looking for a solution, but her British sense of humor often gets lost in translation with the New York sensibilities around her.
