She owns Estates by Brophy, luxury vacation resorts along the Upper Delaware River in New York’s Catskills. Her business acumen— shaped by her equestrian work as co-owner of 1991 Kentucky Derby-winning champion Strike the Gold—has now extended into the creation of Strike the Gold Caviar, a tribute to horseracing—the Sport of Kings.

Featured as a breakout star on Netflix’s 2026 series Members Only Palm Beach, she continues to inspire through business leadership, generosity, and a mission centered on improving the well-being of others—guided by her motto: “Let your heart be open and never forget where you came from in order to help others.”
