He’s a husband of The Real Housewives of New Jersey main cast member Melissa Gorga. Joe makes money through flipping real estate. He buys cheap buildings, renovates them, and turns them into apartment units. Although working with large amount of money, Gorga faced recently some financial problems. Tabloids brought rumors in 2015, that he and his wife are facing foreclosure. As of 2016, Gorga’s estimated net worth is about $500,000.
Joe and his wife lived in upscale mansion in Montville Township for a long time. They put it on the market once they decided to build a new home that was supposed to be even more palace-like. Gorga had a hard time to find a buyer for this mansion but eventually tabloids brought new in 2013 that it got sold for incredible $3.8 million.
Yet, to be more precise, rich businessman Kai Patterson signed lease to purchase agreement with them. But after doing his own home inspection, Patterson claimed there are repairs needed, worth thousands of dollars and he refused to pay. The disagreement ended when Joe Gorga took the house back a moved with his family to Montville Township again, leaving the lot he planned to built next mansion. This land is now on the real estate market for purchasing price of $1.2 million.
Joe met Melissa for the first time while on vacation in Cancun, Mexico. He saw Melissa wearing leopard print bikini and allegedly immediately though that this is his future wife.

However, real estate entrepreneur persisted and woman of his dreams eventually started going out with him in 2003. Two years later, they got married and today they raise their three kids.
