Adrienne Maloof (born September 4, 1961) is an heiress to the Maloof family fortune (her family owns the Sacramento Kings basketball team and Las Vegas' Palms Casino among other ventures). Maloof is married to Dr. Paul Nassif, a plastic surgeon (who appeared on the E! reality show Dr. 90210), but he filed for separation on July 30, 2012. The couple has three sons: Gavin (born 2009) and twins Colin and Christian (born 2006).

In addition to her work with her family's businesses, Maloof has a collection with the shoe company Charles Jourdan and is involved with several charities including School On Wheels, the Good News Foundation and the Sacramento SPCA.

She has been on RHOBH since the beginning. On the show, Maloof throws frequent parties, avoids most of the fighting (although she was offended by Lisa Vanderpump's "Maloof-hoof" comment) and is frequently the voice of reason, providing the other Housewives with advice and confronting Kim Richards on her drinking.
