In recently filed divorce docs, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Denise Richards’ estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, told the court he has zero income — but spends nearly $105,000 on monthly bills.
In his filing, Phypers said he was self-employed at a wellness center from November 2018 to October 2024. “I had to close down my business last year and have made [no] income since,” he told the court as part of the divorce petition he filed on July 7 in Los Angeles Superior Court.
He said his average monthly income is zero. He did not list any assets or property or money in the bank.
Phypers estimates Richards earns over $250,000 a month in income from OnlyFans, her TV shows, brand deals and appearances.
He said he lives with Richards and his 14-year-old stepdaughter, Eloise. He said the average monthly expenses include $18,000 on rent, $5,000 on repairs, $7,000 on child care, $10,000 on groceries, $15,000 on eating out, $8,000 on utilities, $500 on his cell phone, $5,000 on laundry and another $20,000 on clothing.
In addition, he said he spends $15,000 on entertainment and $1,500 on auto expenses. The total for his monthly bills comes to $105,000.
Phypers filed for divorce on Monday, July 7, after six years of marriage. He listed the date of marriage as September 8, 2018, and the date of separation as July 4, 2025.
In his petition, Phypers cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split. He asked for spousal support from Richards.
He also asked that he be awarded all his power tools and a 2018 motorcycle.
As Us first reported, last month, the Wild Things star learned that her wages would not be seized as part of a legal battle involving Phypers and a debt collector over money owed.
Richards was not a party to the loan that Phypers took out or a defendant to the suit.
The debt collector attempted to drag her into the matter, claiming she should be on the hook for her husband’s debt.
Phypers opposed the request. The court sided with Phypers and denied the debt collector’s attempt to seize Richards’ paychecks. The case is still ongoing.
On top of the debt collector battle, Phypers is being sued for fraud by the widower of a woman named Elina Katsioula-Beall, according to In Touch.

Katsioula-Beall’s husband claimed she was diagnosed with cancer in 2019. He said his wife met Phypers who offered treatment to Katsioula-Beall. He said Phypers promised the treatment had a 98 percent success rate and offered to refund 50 percent of the $126,000 payment if it didn’t work.
Katsioula-Beall’s treatment did not work, and she passed away in 2024. Her estate sued demanding $63,000. Phypers has yet to respond to the lawsuit in court.
Sources close to Phypers denied all allegations of wrongdoing. They claimed he was a middle man and the person who promised the refund was the CEO of the company who performed the treatments at his wellness center.
