Guidice was sentenced to a 15-month prison sentence after she and her husband Joe Giudice were sentenced for mortgage and bankruptcy fraud and conspiracy.

The reality television star, known for her luxurious lifestyle, including fancy living and expensive clothing and jewelry, will be stripped of all of that upon entering the building, according to northjersey.com.

Giudice, who was reportedly earning $650,000 per season on the show, will begin work in the prison and, at most, earn $0.40 per hour, northjersey.com reported.

Giudice also sells various products and is a best-selling author, but will not be allowed to run or facilitate any kind of business from behind bars, the report said.
