Natia Rufolo says she started her business with $200,000 in student debt. She also says she made “a couple million” in her first year. Now she is joining The Real Housewives of New Jersey in Season 15. Natia Rufolo’s net worth has not been published, and her claims have not been checked. But her story is a good example of how to tell business income from personal wealth.
Natia Rufolo Net Worth: The Short Answer
Nobody has put a number on Natia Rufolo’s net worth. We found no report, filing or interview that does. Bravo calls her business “multimillion-dollar,” but it does not give her personal wealth.
Here is the key idea. A business’s income is not the same as its owner’s net worth. Net worth is what you own minus what you owe. A spa can bring in millions and still leave the owner with much less after staff, rent, products, loans and taxes.
If a site shows an exact net worth for her, look for a named source. Without one, it is only a guess.
What She Says About Her Money
In a Bravo Insider interview, Natia described how she built the business. Here are her own words, turned into simple facts:
- She finished school with about $200,000 in student debt.
- She opened her company and, the next week, was in a small room ordering a bottle of Botox.
- She says the business “went viral” within three to five months.
- She believes she made a couple million dollars in her first year.
- She says the company is now buying a third location.
These are her statements, and nothing here has been confirmed by outside records. She did not say if “made” means sales or profit. We do not count it as net worth.
By our own math, “a couple million” is about 10 times her student debt. That tells you the business grew fast. It does not tell you how much she kept.
What Nurse Practitioners Usually Earn
Natia is a board-certified nurse practitioner. Here is a yardstick for her profession. It is not her income.
| Job | Median yearly pay, May 2025 | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Nurse practitioners | $132,300 | U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics |
This number covers nurse practitioners who work for pay. A business owner earns profit from the business, which can be much higher or much lower. Her husband works there too, as director of operations, so the income is shared across the family business.
Who Is Natia Rufolo?
Natia, who goes by “Nat,” was born in the Republic of Georgia and moved to the United States when she was young. Bravo describes her as outspoken. She says she does not hold anything back, and that she is also “the life of the party.”
She is married to Tommy, whom she met at a restaurant bar in South Orange in 2016. They have two children, a son, Tommy Jr., who is 8, and a daughter, Natalie, who is 3. Natia says she keeps her family life fairly private.
Her official show bio says she is working on a complicated relationship with her mother, Tamara. Her Instagram handles are @natiarufolo and @injxbynat.
INJX by Nat Aesthetics
Natia owns INJX by Nat Aesthetics. A local news site calls her a Cranford, New Jersey, spa owner. She is known as the “PDO Threading Queen.” PDO threading is a non-surgical treatment that lifts and tightens skin.
She says she was named among the Top 100 Best Aesthetician Providers in America. She also says she is in the top 50 PDO providers in the country. These are her own statements to Bravo. We could not verify the lists.
Bravo says she grew the company from a small start-up into a business with several locations. She calls herself a workaholic who is up working at two in the morning.

The next big step is the show. Reality TV can help a local business reach new customers, but we do not know how it will affect hers. The third location she mentions is the next business step.
