Although Christian Stracke is very private, his name was taken to the spotlight when his ex-wife, Sutton Stracke, joined the "Real House of Beverly Hills" cast.

He famously became known as the reality star's ex-husband, who she divorced several years ago after tying the knot in 2000.

Thibault Christian Stracke was born to Claire Stracke and Dr. Richard Stracke, a Spanish teacher at the Davidson Fine Arts High School and an English professor at Augusta Stata University.

Meanwhile, his ex-wife's net worth can be seen in how she spends, from purchasing bedroom slippers worth $2,000 to spending $35,000 for a party of eight.

Unfortunately, their marriage ended in divorce in 2017. It was only during the court proceedings that Sutton discovered her real wealth. She said:

"It's true because he was in charge of the finances. I didn't know everything. So when you do the full disclosure and get everything, I was like, 'What?' It's actually two minor league baseball teams. I knew we had a timber company, but I didn't know all."

Her time on "RHOBH" also added income, but according to Sutton, she could not film as much of her personal life allegedly because of her husband's private lifestyle. "I think when you sign on to be a housewife, it really is your whole life that you're giving up to the audience," she said, as told by Heavy.

As a senior portfolio manager and operations manager at PIMCO, such title would make $236,076 and $213,058 on average, respectively. Neither are his titles, but the figures give an idea,
